Answer: EF = 52

Explanations:

Let us draw the line EF, and identify the midpoint, D

By properly observing the line drawn above, you would see that EF is the longest line you can trace, and the addition of ED and DF will give you EF:

That is, EF = ED + DF...............(equation 1)

ED = 4x + 6

DF = 7x - 9

Substitute ED and DF written above into equation (1)

EF = (4x + 6) + (7x - 9)

EF = 4x + 7x + 6 - 9

EF = 11x - 3

Since x = 5

EF = 11(5) - 3

EF = 55 - 3

EF = 52

D is the midpoint of EF.ED = 4x + 6DF = 7x -9Find EF if x = 5-example-1
