Suppose M is the midpoint of line FG. Use the given information to find the missing measure or value.

tangare [24]

If it is the midpoint, then FG= FM+MG

Also, this means that they are of equal lenght, so

FM=MG
<span>5y + 13= 5-3y
5y+3y=5+13
8y=18
y= $\frac{18}{8}$ =2.25
</span>
which means that the two halves are equal to 5y+13=5*2.25+13=24.25

and FG is double the lenght:

24.25*2=49

Doreen has $20. She wants to buy a pair of earrings that costs $7.58 and a necklace that costs &13.36. Does Doreen have enou

Mariana [72]

Hi!

To solve this, we need to know how much the earrings and necklace cost together, then we need to know if it's more or less than how much she has ($20)

So first, add the costs together.

7 . 5 8
+ 1 3 . 3 6
---------------
2 0 . 9 4

The necklace and earrings cost $20.94 which is more than $20.

The answer is no, Doreen does not have enough money.

Hope this helps! :)
