The diagram representing the line AB and midpoint D is shown bel;ow.

Therefore, 16=2x+6.


\begin{gathered} 2x=10 \\ x=5 \end{gathered}

Then, the magnitude of AD will be,


\begin{gathered} AD=(2*5)+6 \\ AD=16 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is 16.

If D is the midpoint of AB and AD = 2x + 6 and AB = 32, then find AD. Draw thepicture-example-1
