Need Help With Geometry question. Easy Medal.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

AB = 8x -6 AM=3x+3 MB = ? bc. we know that M is the midpoint of line AB so this mean that AM + MB = AB and AB/2 = AM do you can solve ot now ?

OpenStudy (mariany_):

I'm confused like would 8x be A and B would be 6?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

AB = 8x-6 = 2(4x-3) AB/2 = AM 2(4x-3)/2 = AM 4x-3 = AM but we know that AM =

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you can rewrite these all please ?

OpenStudy (mariany_):

im so confused

OpenStudy (mariany_):

ill give you medal but idk what it is

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so you need knowing that AB is a segment ,is a line and the point M is the midpoint of this line ,of this segment ok. ?

OpenStudy (mariany_):

is it 5x-9?

OpenStudy (mariany_):

hello?

OpenStudy (matthew120):

hmmm

OpenStudy (matthew120):

@MissSmartiez @domebotnos

OpenStudy (mariany_):

i already know its 21 now..

OpenStudy (mariany_):

thanks though

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so how i wrote it above AB = 8x-6 = 2(4x-3) AB/2 = AM 2(4x-3)/2 = AM 4x-3 = AM but we know that AM = 3x+3 in this case there are 3x+3 = 4x -3 solve it for x and will get x = 6 so in this case than we know that x=6 than AB = 8*6-6 so AB = 48-6 so AB = 42

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

but we need to know the length of MB what is the half part of AB so the length of MB is 42/2 = 21 hope helped you and hope so much that is understandably sure right easy
