Answer:

3.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Line segment IK = 35.

This is a parallelogram, in which:

LJ is a line bisector of IK; line Imidpoint = line segment kmidpoint.

IK = (4x + 3) + (4x + 3)

35 = (4x + 3) + (4x + 3)

Simplify. Combine like terms:

35 = 8x + 6

Simplify. 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 6 from both sides:

35 (-6) = 8x + 6 (-6)

35 - 6 = 8x

29 = 8x

Divide 8 from both sides:

(29)/8 = (8x)/8

x = 29/8

x = 3.625

3.625 is your answer.

Answer:

X= 8

The reason why X equals 8 is because the gave you the measurement of points I and K. They have created an expression to find points I and K and all they ask you to do is find the value of x.

To find the value of x, think about the measurement of points I and K. The measurements of point I and K equals 35. So we have to substitute a number for x that would make the expression equal 35. This is how I did it, so I thought 4 times what would get me close to 35. Then 4*8 came to my head and that automatically equals 32 and then when you add the three you get 35!

I hope I've helped!
