Answer:

y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 8 is the equation of a horizontal line, parallel to the x- axis.

Thus a parallel line will also be horizontal.

The equation of a horizontal line is

y = c

where c is the y- coordinates of the points it passes through.

The line passes through (- 6, 12) with y- coordinate of 12, thus

y = 12 ← equation of parallel line

Segment addition with variables

oksian1 [2.3K]

<em>x equals 22</em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

____________________________________________

The Segment Postulate states the following:

<em>Given two end points A and B, a third point C lines on the segment AB if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation:</em>

$\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB}$

____________________________________________

From the figure:

$\overline{AC}=8+x \\ \\ \overline{CB}=10 \\ \\ \overline{AB}=40$

Our goal is to find x:

$\overline{AB}=\overline{AC}+\overline{CB} \\ \\ Substituting \ values: \\ \\ 40=(8+x)+10 \\ \\ 18+x=40 \\ \\ Subtracting \ 18 \ from \ both \ sides: \\ \\ 18-18+x=40-18 \\ \\ \boxed{x=22}$
