Question

,

If ED=15, find the value of x. Is N the midpoint of ED? Explain why or why not.
15
E
4x-1
N
4 + 2x
D

Answer 1

x=3 and N is the mid-point.

Okay, so if N is the mid-point.

E D=15

E N=4 x -1

N D=4+ 2 x

6 x -3=15

Now get the 6 x by itself, so move the 3 over

So it would be: 6 x =18

So that would be 6 divided by 6 is x and then 18 divided by 6 equals 3

So, X equals 3
