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.
