Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A midpoint is found by adding up two numbers and then dividing by 2 (Also known as an average). Therefore, a midpoint marks half of a line. That means that DP is 1/2 of DE. We can now form an equation. 6x + 4 = 1/2 * (14x - 10), making 6x + 4 = 7x - 5 by using the distributive property. Next, isolate x by subtracting by 6x on both sides and adding by 5 on both sides. You would get x = 5 + 4, which means that x = 9.
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
First I covert them into decimals. 1/2= 0.5 and 2/3=0.66667 then I just multiplied those together and that was 0.33333 then I made it into a fraction.

Answer: 3/8 of a mile
Step-by-step explanation: To make this a bit more understandable, 7/8 cannot have a denominator of 2 since the numerator is 7, so what we do is make 1/2 of a mile have a denominator of 8. So we turn 1/2 to 4/8 to make the fractions more easier to use by multiplying 1/2 by 4.
1/2 X 4 = 4/8
So, Dawn rode 4/8 of a mile and she needs to get to a point where it is 7/8 of a mile away from her starting point. When you subtract fractions, you do not have to worry about the denominator, just the numerator.
7/8 - 4/8 = 3/8
Therefore, dawn must hike 3/8 of a mile more to reach her goal. :)
