Question

Solve for x?

Answer 1

Are B and D midpoints of AC and CE?

Answer 2

is BD half of AE? are there any given in the question?

Answer 3

B is the midpoint of AC and D is the midpoint of CE. BD = 3x + 5 and

Answer 4

AE = 4x + 20. Solve for x. That's all Im given

Answer 5

Ah, I see.

Answer 6

This means that BD is just half the size as AE.

Answer 7

Translating that into an equation:\[4x + 20 = 2(3x + 5)\]Solve for \(x\).

Answer 8

will do.just a min

Answer 9

2(3x+5) = 4x + 20 and solve

6x + 5 = 4x + 20
put all the Xs on 1 side

2x = 15

divide both sides by 2

x = 7.5

Answer 10

@xXJoeXx The second step seems wrong...

Answer 11

\[2(3x + 5) = 6x + 10\]

Answer 12

i got x = 3.

Answer 13

woop yeah you're right sorry about that, didnt distribute the 2

Answer 14

Yup @icalibear
You're human :) @xXJoeXx

Answer 17

Nope

Answer 18

:s ok gonna solve it again

Answer 19

I forgot how to properly solve an equation (/.') I keep getting 3

Answer 20

edit of mine
2(3x+5) = 4x + 20 and solve

6x + 10 = 4x + 20
put all the Xs on 1 side

2x = 10

divide both sides by 2

x = ?
