Help with this two column proof

We're given LM = NO which will be used in substitution later.

By the segment addition postulate, we can write 
LN = LM+MN
which basically says "glue LM and MN together to get LN". All three segments fall on the same line.

Now substitute or replace LM with NO. This works because LM = NO is given

So we go from this
LN = LM+MN
to this
LN = NO+MN

Rearrange terms to go from 
LN = NO+MN
to 
LN = MN+NO
The formal property used is the "Commutative Property of Addition"

Now notice on the right hand side we can combine MN and NO to get MO. Again this is using the segment addition postulate. 

So the last step is going from 
LN = MN+NO
to 
LN = MO

Have a look at the attached image to see how to format this proof into a two-column proof.

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of 5x is still 5x.

5x - 2 = 18

5x = 20

Divide both sides by 5

Turn both fractions into mixed fractions resulting in 75/2 and 5/2. Then turn them into decimals. 75/2= 37.5 and 5/2= 2.5. Then divide each other  37.5 / 2.5= 15. 15 is your answer. Hope it helped :)

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

4/15 of an inch

Step-by-step explanation:

A worm wriggled forward 4/5 of an inch in 3 minutes.

=> At that rate, the distance the worm would go in 1 minute is:

D = (4/5)/3 = 4/(5x3) = 4/15 of an inch

Hope this helps!
