Please Help ASAP. Thanks. Suppose M is the midpoint of FG. Find the missing measure.
FG = 14a + 1. FM = 14.5

Answer A=?

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If M is the midpoint, 1/2 of FG = FM since FG is the whole length.

FG = 14a + 1

1/2 FG = 1/2(14a + 1)

1/2 FG = 7a + 1/2

The length of the segment FM = 14.5 and that is the same length as 1/2 FG

7a + 1/2 = 14.5

1/2 = 0.5

7a + 0.5 = 14.5        Subtract 0.5 from both sides

7a = 14.5 - 0.5

7a = 14                     Divide by 7

a = 14/7

a = 2

exa:

)

3+11

14

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.

i think the answer would be c
