The value of x from the given line segment is 5
Addition postulate
A line is defined as the shortest distance between two points. From the given line segment, the addition below is true;
NM + ML = NL
Given
NM = 9
ML = 2x-7
NL = x + 7
Substitute to have:
9 + 2x - 7 = x + 7
2x + 2 = x + 7
2x-x = 7 - 2
x = 5
Hence the value of x from the given line segment is 5
