Answer:
x=5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
LN and KM intersect and are in the same rectangle, which makes them the same line essentially. Set 49 equal to 6x+16 and then solve to get x by itself.
Answer:
A. 5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a rectangle that is given to you, so KM ≅ LN
Set the two measurements equal to each other:
6x + 16 = 49
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, subtract 16 from both sides:
6x + 16 (-16) = 49 (-16)
6x = 49 - 16
6x = 33
Next, divide 6 from both sides of the equation:
(6x)/6 = (33)/6
x = 33/6
x = 5.5
A. 5.5 is your answer.
