Question

Point M is the midpoint of segment AB. If AM = 50 – 3x and MB = –20 + 4x, find the value of x.

Answer 1

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Since M is the midpoint of the segment AB then measure of AM and MB are equal. So to solve the value of x, equate the following measurement

AM = MB

50 – 3x = -20 + 4x

70 = 7x

X = 10
