Question

MULTIPLE CHOICE
What is LM?
3x + 5
4x + 7
LN = 33 cm

Answer 1

C. 14

Explanation:

Add LM and MN

(3x + 5) + (4x + 7)

(4x + 3x) + (5 + 7)

7x + 12

As we know the total is 33

So,

7x + 12 = 33

Subtract 12 from 33, which gives me 21

Now,

7x = 21

To make x alone, divide both sides by 7, and then we will get x = 3

If x = 3

LM = 3x + 5

= (3*3) + 5

= 9 + 5

= 14
