Question

Solve for X. 20 points !!!!

Answer 1

4) x = - 12

5) x = 4

Explanation:

4)

Since points T and S are mid points of sides ML and MN of triangle MLN.

Therefore, by mid point theorem,

TS is half of LN

so,

`x + 26 = (1)/(2) (x + 40) \\ \\ 2(x + 26) =x + 40 \\ \\ 2x + 52 = x + 40 \\ \\ 2x - x = 40 - 52 \\ \\ x = - 12`

5) In the same way x = 4 will be the correct answer in question number 5.
