Question

Line l bisects PQ at point M. Find value of X

Answer 1

x =
`(18)/(7)`

Explanation:

Since l bisects PQ at M then M is the midpoint of PQ, hence

PM = MQ, that is

5x - 7 = 11 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )

7x - 7 = 11 ( add 7 to both sides )

7x = 18 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x =
`(18)/(7)`
