Question

K=2x-3 M=x+7, L is the midpoint of KM. Find the value of x.

Answer 1

the midpoint is 1/2 way between the 2 end points

Answer 2

I know that but I'm confused because the only time I've solved for a midpoint was in coordinates, how would I solve for it with the two end points?

Answer 3

Did you type everyting right... K=? Should that be KM or KL , same for M

Answer 4

Sorry, you're right. KL 2x-3 and LM x+7

Answer 5

L is the midpoint, halfway distance on the line KM, so KL and LM are equal lengths
