In the figure, is a median. If = 6 + 10 and = 2 + 12, find the length of . Show your work.

26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, BD is a median. As it divides the AC equally, that's why it will AD=CD. Given, AD= 6x+10 and CD= 2x+12

Now, AD=  CD

or, 6x+10=2x+12

or, 6x-2x= 12-10

or, 4x= 2

or, x= 1/2

So the value of x is 1/2. As BD divided AC equally, both AD and CD will be equal and AD+CD= AC.

So, 6x+10+2x+12= AC

or, 8x+22= AC

or, 8 X (1/2) + 22= AC

or, 4+22 = AC

or, AC= 26.=

can you put the picture up?

step-by-step explanation:

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
