Answer:
DF=41
Explanation:
It is given that F is the midpoint of DE. We know that, midpoint bisects the line segment. So,
DF=FE
3x+5=5x-19
Subtracting both sides by 3x
3x+5-3x=5x-19-3x
5=2x-19
Subtract both sides by 5
5-5=2x-19-5
0=2x-24
2x=24
x=12
So, the value of x is 12.
Put x = 12 in DF=3x+5
DF=3(12)+5
DF= 36+5
DF = 41
So, the value of DF is 41.
