Problem:

• If MT = 2x + 10 and AH = 4x - 6, What is MT?

Asked:

• What is MT?

Given:

• MT = 2x + 10
• AH = 4x - 6

Solution:

• MT = AH
• 2x + 10 = 4x - 6
• 2x - 4x = -6 - 10
• -2x = -16/-2
• x = 8

Checking:

Substitute the value of x. If the "x = 8":

• MT
• 2x + 10
• 2(8) + 10
• 16 + 10
• MT = 26

Answer:

• Therefore, the value of MT is 26

QUESTION

If MT = 2x + 10 and AH = 4x - 6, What is MT?

SOLUTION

Solve for x first :

• MT = AH
• 2x + 10 = 4x - 6
• x + 5 = 2x - 3
• x - 2x = - 3 - 5
• -x = - 3 - 5
• x = 3 + 5
• x = 8

Then substitute the value of x to find MT :

• MT = 2x + 10
• 2 (8) + 10
• 16 + 10
• MT = 26

ANSWER

• Thus, the value of MT is 26
