Question

ALGEBRA Suppose M is the midpoint of FG. Use the given information to find the

missing measure or value.
MG =7x - 15, FG = 33, x= ?

Answer 1

x = 4.5

Explanation:

Given M is the midpoint of FG , then

FM = MG = 7x - 15

FM + MG = FG , that is

7x - 15 + 7x - 15 = 33

14x - 30 = 33 ( add 30 to both sides )

14x = 63 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x =
`(63)/(14)` = 4.5
