Answer:

42

Explanation:

4x + 2 = 1/2 (4x + 44) Be careful how you do this. I have multiplied both sides by 2

2(4x + 2) = 4x + 44 Remove the brackets (distributive)

8x + 4 = 4x + 44 Subtract 4x from both sides

8x-4x + 4 = 44

4x + 4 = 44 Subtract 4 from both sides

4x + 4-4 = 44-4

4x = 40 Divide by 4

4x/4 = 40/4

x = 10

The mid line is 4x + 2

The mid line is 4*10 + 2

The mid line is 40 + 2

The mid line is 42

The base is 4x + 44

The base is 4*10 + 44

The base is 40 + 44 = 84 which is twice the midline. I did this just to show it is twice as big as the midline.
