<PRE><B>Question 986654</B>
if l L is the midpoint of line km and km equals 5x minus 6 and LM equals 2x plus 4, what is the value of x?
-------
Draw the picture:: K.......L.......M
--------------
KM = 5x+6
LM = 2x+4
------
Equation:
LM = (1/2)KM
2x+4 = (1/2)(5x+6)
4x+8 = 5x+6
x = 2
---------------
