Question

Find the value of x. Write an equation and
solve, showing ALL work.
7x-1

Answer 1

x =
`(25)/(7)`

Explanation:

Using the midline theorem

A segment joining the midpoints of 2 sides of a triangle ia

Parallel to the third side and half the length of the third side, thus

7x - 1 = 24 ( add 1 to both sides )

7x = 25 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x =
`(25)/(7)`
