32.


so, the two dashes on the lines, the | represent those two portions are equal. also it alr says that MN is the segment bisector, and bisector means that something is split in half.


so, this basically means we can set 3x+1 and 8x-24 equal to each other


3x+1=8x-24

so we need to split up the numbers so x is on one side. the easiest way to do this is to move the -24 to the other side. to do this, we need to balance the equation. if we move one thing to one side, we need to flip the sign. so -24 is negative, so we need to make it +24 and add it to 1


3x+25=8x


now, move 3x to the other side, but since it’s positive, make it -3x. subtract it from 8x


25 = 5x


now, x is attached to 5 by multiplication so we need to do the opposite of multiplication, division. divide 25 by 5 to isolate x


5 = x



so since x = 5, we can plug it back in to any of the segments ill pick 3x+1


3(5)+1


that equals 16


since we know both lines are equal in length, we can double 16, which equals 32

Below are two different functions, f(x) and g(x). What can be determined about their slopes? f(x) Dawn writes 800 pages in 80 da
lilavasa [31]
Given function f(x) which is described by "<span>Dawn writes 800 pages in 80 days".

From this function we can notice that Dawn writes 0 pages in 0 days, (i.e. the initial point of the function is point (0, 0).

Recall that the slope, m, of a line passing through points:
(x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)
is given by
m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Function f(x) passes through points (0, 0) and (80, 800).

Thus the slope of function f(x) is given by
m= \frac{800-0}{80-0} = \frac{800}{80} =10


Give function g(x), passing through points (2, -6) and (4, 12), the slope is given by
m= \frac{12-(-6)}{4-2} = \frac{12+6}{2} = \frac{18}{2} =9

It can be seen that the slope of f(x) and the slope of g(x) are close.
