Answer:

C) 140

Explanation:

We can see from the diagram that mMEF + mDEM = mDEF because they share the same lines.

Therefore:

69x + 2 + 34 = 2 + 86x

Now we can solve this equation.

First we can eliminate the +2 from each side as they will cancel:

69x + 34 = 86X

And then rearrange to solve for x:

34 + 69x - 69x = 86x - 69x

34 = 17x

34/17 = 17x/17

x = 2

Now that we have the value for x, we can substitute it into the original equation:

mMEF = 69(2) +2

mMEF = 138 + 2

mMEF = 140

Therefore the correct answer is C) 140.

Hope this helped!
