What is JM?

JM =

Answer 1

@Directrix

Answer 2

okay so let's draw a picture:

Answer 3

okay

Answer 4

ahemm JM is given :/

Answer 5

hmm oh..hmmm its length

Answer 6

because 10x+6 represents the whole thing and you only want 1/2 you would divide that by 2 to get 5x-3

Answer 7

well midpoint would be = to lengh

Answer 8

so now your picture looks like...

Answer 9

then you set those equal and solve

Answer 10

8x+4

Answer 11

is 4 the answer 8x-2

Answer 12

8/2=4

Answer 13

not quite... because Midpoint refers to the 1/2 way mark between the line. so those 2 equations are EQUAL... try again :)

Answer 14

I'm not sure

Answer 15

you put an equal sign between the equations to get 4x+1=5x-3

Answer 16

The posted question has something missing:

> M is the midpoint of what?

M is the midpoint of , JM = 4x + 1, and JK = 10x – 6.

Answer 17

9.21

Answer 18

oh yeah... I just assumed m was the midpoint of JK and that M was the midpoint

Answer 19

9.21?

Answer 20

3/2
