Answer:

Option B) 4 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the value of n

we know that

a) GJ is a midsegment of triangle DEF

then

G is the midpoint segment DF and J is the midpoint segment EF

DG=GF and EJ=JF

b) HK is a midsegment of triangle GFJ

then

H is the midpoint segment GF and K is the midpoint segment JF

GH=HF and JK=KF

In this problem we have

HF=7 cm

so

GH=7 cm

GF=GH+HF ----> by addition segment postulate

GF=7+7=14 cm

Remember that

DG=GF

substitute the given values

2n-1=14

solve for n

2n=14+1

2n=15

n=7.5\ cm

step 2

Find the length of GJ

we know that

The <u><em>Midpoint Theorem</em></u> states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side

so

GJ=\frac{1}{2}DE

we have

GE=2n+1=2(7.5)+1=16\ cm

substitute

GJ=\frac{1}{2}16=8\ cm

step 3

Find the length of HK

we have that

HK=\frac{1}{2}GJ ----> by the midpoint theorem

we have

GJ=8\ cm

substitute

HK=\frac{1}{2}8=4\ cm

Solving equations:<br><br> (a) 5x - 9 = 3x + 3<br><br> (b) x + 6 = 34 - x
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

a) 5x - 9 = 3x + 3

5x - 3x = 3 + 9

2x = 12

x = 12 / 2

x = 6

b) x + 6 = 34 - x

x + x = 34 - 6

2x = 28

x = 28 / 2

x = 14

How many solutions does the following equation have? ln(x2 + 4x − 5) = 0
lisov135 [29]
Alrighty
remember
log_a(b)=c means a^c=b
and
ln(x)=log_e(x)
and
x^0=1 for all real values of x
so

ln(x^2+4x-5)=0 means
log_e(x^2+4x-5)=0 means
e^0=x^2+4x-5 which simplifies to
1=x²+4x-5
minus 1 both sides
0=x²+4x-6
use quadratic formula or complete the square
x=-2+\sqrt{10} and x=-2-\sqrt{10}
