Question

Line Segment LM Bisects Line Segment ZT At Point S. ZS Has A Length Of 3x+7 , And ST Has A Length Of -X+23. Find The Value Of X.

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

given LM bisects ( cuts in half ) ZT , then

ZS = ST ( substitute values )

3x + 7 = - x + 23 ( add x to both sides )

4x + 7 = 23 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

4x = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 4
