Answer:
QM = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
It has been given in the question that M is the midpoint of the segment QR which means distance QM is equal to the distance MR.
Since the QM = 16 + x and MR = 2(x + 2)
and QM = MR
Therefore both the expressions are equal and can be represented by
16 + x = 2(x + 2)
16 + x = 2x + 4
16 - 4 = 2x - x
x = 12
Now we will put the value of x in QM = 16 + x
QM = 16 + 12 + 28
Answer will be QM = 28
