(need help fast, please!!)
diagram is attached

Answer 1

how did you find the answer? (i have to do step by step)

Answer 2

@Cardinal_Carlo

Answer 3

The answer is actually x=7. Using mid-segment theorem you know the mid-segment is half of the parallel side.

Answer 4

im sorry i feel dumb, can you explain a little more detailed

Answer 5

First of all, a mid-segment is a line segment connecting two midpoints of a triangle. There is a theorem that states a mid-segment is half of the parallel side. Using the diagram, 2x-6=half of 16. If 2x-6=8, solving for x gives x=7

Answer 6

Wow, thank you for explaining I was so lost, thank you so much!
