Answer:

Since M is the midpoint that means that LM is equal to MN so therefore

6x-7=5x+1

-5x from both sides

x-7=1

add 7 to both sides

x=8

then you substutie 8 for x in 6x-7

6(8)-7

solve!

41 - C

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The answer is C:41

Explanation:

you have to set 6x-7 equal to 5x-1 which equals x=8 which now you replace x in 6x-7 with 8 which makes the equation 6(8)-7 which equals 41.
