Question

FLM equals X +3 and MN equals 2X and LM equals 24 what does X equal?

Answer 1

Explanation:

FLM = X + 3

MN = 2X

LM = 24

You want to find the value of X.

Since LM is given as 24, you can set up an equation using the lengths of the segments:

FLM + MN = LM

Substitute the given values:

(X + 3) + (2X) = 24

Now, combine like terms:

3X + 3 = 24

Subtract 3 from both sides:

3X = 24 - 3

3X = 21

Now, divide by 3 to solve for X:

X = 21 / 3

X = 7

So, X equals 7.
