Question

Find the value of X.

Answer 1

• x = 5

Explanation:

We know that:

• 2x + 3 = 4x - 7
• M = Midpoint of ST

Solution:

• 2x + 3 = 4x - 7
• => 4x - 2x = 7 + 3
• => 2x = 10
• => x = 5

Hence, the value of x is 5.

Answer 2

x = 5

Explanation:

Here we can see SM and MT have equal sides.

Therefore, 2x + 3 should be equal to 4x - 7

So,

2x + 3 = 4x - 7

2x - 4x = -7 -3

-2x = -10

x = -10 / -2

x = 5
