Question

M is the midpoint of XY. XM=10w+2 and MY=5w+22
WHAT IS XY??

Answer 1

84 units

Explanation:

Since, M is the midpoint of XY.

`\therefore \: XM= MY \\ \\ 10w + 2 = 5w + 22 \\ \\ 10w - 5w = 22 - 2 \\ \\ 5w = 20 \\ \\ w = (20)/(5) \\ \\ w = 4 \\ \\ \because \: XY = 2XM \\ \\ \therefore \: XY = 2(10w + 2) \\ \\ \therefore \: XY = 2(10 * 4+ 2) \\ \\ \therefore \: XY = 2(40+ 2) \\ \\ \therefore \: XY = 2 * 42 \\ \\ \therefore \: XY =84 \: units`

Answer 2

15w+24
