Using the left or right side of triangle, you can conclude that the midsegment will divide the triangle in both midlines of the sides. This means the length of the line would be half of the line below it. The equation would be:

47/4x+2= 94/ 4x+44
4x+44/ 4x+2 = 94/47
4x+ 44 / 4x+2 =2
4x+44 = 2(4x+2)
4x+44 = 8x+4
4x-8x= 4-44
-4x= -40
x= 10

Then the length of midline would be:
4x+2= 4(10)+2= 42
