Question

LH bisects GK at M. GM = 2x + 6, and
GK = 24. Find x.
АН
M

Answer 1

Explanation:

If LH bisects GK at M , then GM+MK = GK ang GM= MK

The equation becomes GM+GM = GK

2GM = GK

Substitute the value of GM and GK inti the formula

2(2x+6) = 24

4x+12 = 24

4x = 24-12

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3

Hence the value of x is 3
