Rectangle property, MK=NO=14. MO=-7x+7=MK=14. Solve for x: x=-1.

In a rectangle, opposite sides are congruent. Therefore, NO = MK = 14.

Since MO = -7x + 7, and M and K are the same point, we can substitute MK for MO:

14 = -7x + 7

Subtract 7 from both sides:

7 = -7x

Divide both sides by -7:

-1 = x

Therefore, x = -1.

Question:

Given rectangle KLMN below, NO=14. If MO=-7x+7, solve for x.
