x=15

hartnn (hartnn):

24/24 = 5x+2 / 3x+32 5x +2 = 3x+32 ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it's wrong

hartnn (hartnn):

oh yeah, it should be 24/48 = 5x+2 / 3x+32 because the length of the side in other triangle is 24+24 =48

hartnn (hartnn):

now find 'x' from here. 24/48 = 5x+2 / 3x+32 = 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13

hartnn (hartnn):

nops, what u got 'x' as first ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the mid seg is 13

hartnn (hartnn):

hmm, not correct, see my other corrected reply.

hartnn (hartnn):

24/48 = 5x+2 / 3x+32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still get fifteen for x

hartnn (hartnn):

how ?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Show your working

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

2(5x+2) = 3x+32 find x. Then find the midsegment, 5x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5*4+2=22

hartnn (hartnn):

yeah, 22 is correct :)
