Answer: The number of small cars rented = 7

The number of large cars rented=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of small cars rented and y be the number of large cars rented.

As per given statements , we have the following system of equations:

5x+8y=51--------(1)\\\\ x=y+5--------------(2)

Substitute the value of x from (2) in (1), we get

5(y+5)+8y=51

5(y)+5(5)+8y=51    (Distributive property)

5y+25+8y=51

13y=51-25  (Subtract 25 on both both sides)

13y=26

y=2 (Divide both sides by 13)

Put value of y in (2) , we get x=2+5 =7

∴ The number of small cars rented = 7

The number of large cars rented=2

By applying Segment Addition Postulate, segment FH is equal to 24 units.

<h3>What is a point?</h3>

A point can be defined as a zero dimensional geometric object and it is generally represented by a dot.

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

A line segment can be defined as the part of a line in a geometric figure such as a triangle, circle, quadrilateral, etc., that is bounded by two (2) distinct points and it typically has a fixed length.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Line segment FG = 37.
  • Segment HG = 13.

Since point H lies on line segment FG, we would apply Segment Addition Postulate to determine segment FH as follows:

FG = HG + FH

37 = 13 + FH

FH = 37 - 13

FH = 24 units.

Complete Question:

Given that line segment FG = 37 and segment HG = 13, find segment FH.
