Answer:

BM = 26

Explanation:

The vertical slash marks indicate that AM and BM are equal. So all you need to do is equate the AM = BM

3x - 4 = 4x - 14 Add 14 to both sides

3x - 4 + 14 = 4x Combine

3x + 10 = 4x Subtract 3x from both sides

10 = 4x - 3x Combine

x = 10

But that is not the answer. The question asks for BM

BM = 4x - 14 Substitute x = 10

BM = 4*10 - 14

BM = 40 - 14

BM = 26
