Question

Help ya girl out in this math problem!

Answer 1

The mid segment is half of the base

so

1/2(6x-12) = 2x + 10

3x - 6 = 2x + 10 I distributed the 1/2

-2x -2x subtract 2x from both sides

x -6 = + 10

+6 +6 Add 6 from both sides

x = 16

now we know x is 16 and BE is 2x+10

so I can find it by plugging 16 in

2(16) + 10

32 + 10 = 42 is BE
