Question

I need help with 9, 10 would be nice as well. But I’ll take what I can get :)

Answer 1

• Given A is the midpoint of segment XY.
• Therefore, XA = AY

or, 3x = 5x-6

or, 6 = 5x - 3x

or, 6 = 2x

or, x = 6 ÷ 2 = 3

• So, XA

= 3x

= 3(3)

= 9 units

• Hence, XY

= XA + AY

= 3x + (5x-6)

= 8x-6

= 8(3)-6

= 24-6

= 18

Your answers are:

XA = 9 units

XY = 18 units
