The value of x is 2

<h3>What is a line segment?</h3>

A line segment is simply known as the part of a straight line bounded by two distinct end points, and contains every point on the line between its endpoints.

We can say that on the line segment:

HJ + KJ = KH

substitute the values

3x + 8 + 2x + 22 = 40

collect like terms

3x + 2x = 40 - 30

5x = 10

Make 'x' the subject

x = 10/ 5

x = 2

The complete question:

Suppose J is between H and K. Use the Segment Addition Postulate to solve for x.

HJ = 3x+8

KJ = 2x+22

KH = 40

Thus, the value of x is 2

A group of four numbers has an average of 14. The first three numbers are 11, 12 and 17. What's the missing number?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

So if 4 numbers have an average of 14, that means to find the sum of all 4 numbers, you work backwards & multiply 4x14 to get 56.

Then 56-the sum of the 3 numbers you already have (11+12+17=40)

56-40=16

To double check, to find the average of 4 numbers that total 56, you divide 56 by 4 & get 14
