Question

Point M is between points L and N on segment LN. LM=5x, MN=2x+4, and LN=10x-16

Use the information to solve for x, and then find LN, LM, and MN.

Answer 1

x= 6.6

LM= 33

MN= 17.2

LN=50

Explanation:

10x-16= 5x+2x+4 (LN=LM+MN)

10x-16=7x+4

3x-16=4

3x=20

x=6.6

then plug 6.6 back into equation and round to the nearest whole number.
