Answer:

B.LP=8 because 12-4=8 according to the subtraction property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that if LR=12 and PR=4

We have to find LP

The points L, P and R are collinear points,because they lie on the same line.

When the points are collinear then

LP+PR=LR

We have LR=12 and PR=4

Substituting the values then we get

LP+4=12

LP=12-4

Using subtraction property of equality

Therefore, by simplification we get

LP=8

Answer:B. LP=8 because LP+PR=LR according to the segment addition postulates , and 12+4=16 using substitution.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

LP = 8 because LR + PR = LP according to the Segment Addition Postulate, and 8 + 4 = 12 using substitution

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

From this problem, we know that:

LR = 12

PR = 4

So here we have a Line segment. Recall that a line segment has two endpoints, places where they end or stop and they are named after their endpoints, so the line segment here is LR whose measure is 12. Then, according to Segment Addition Postulate it is true that:

LP + PR = LR

By substituting LR = 12 and PR = 4, we have:

LP + 4 = 12

Subtracting 4 from both sides:

LP + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4

LP + 0 = 8

Finally:

LP = 8

A right triangle has the side legnths 4 units, 5 units, and x units. It is unknown if the missing length is the longest or short

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

For longest x = 6.4

For shortest x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a right angle triangle with lengths 4 units and 5 units and x units .

x can be gotten using Pythagoras theorem .

If x Is the longest side , then

x^2 = 5^2 + 4^2

= 5x5 + 4x4

= 25 + 16

x^2 = 41

x = squared root of 41

x = 6.4

If x is the shortest side ,

x^2 = 5^2 - 4^2

= 5x5 - 4x4

= 25 - 16

x^2 = 9

x = squared root of 9

x = 3

A clothing company sells slacks that are either blue or gray and pleated or non-pleated. Last month, the company sold 5 times as

qwelly [4]

Answer:

138 pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of blue pleated slacks is 5 times the number of gray pleated slacks, so:

$blue\ pleated = 5 * gray\ pleated$ (eq1)

The number of gray non-pleated is twice the number of blue non-pleated slacks, so:

$blue\ nonpleated = 2 * gray\ nonpleated$ (eq2)

The total number of blue slacks is 333, and the total number of gray slacks is 225, so we have that:

$blue\ pleated + blue\ nonpleated = 333$ (eq3)

$gray\ pleated + gray\ nonpleated = 225$ (eq4)

If we add (eq1) and (eq2), we have:

$blue\ pleated + blue\ nonpleated = 5*gray\ pleated + 2*gray\ nonpleated$ (eq5)

Using (eq3) and (eq4) in (eq5), we have:

$333 = 2*225 + 3*gray\ pleated$

$gray\ pleated = 117/3 = 39$

From (eq1), we have:

$blue\ pleated = 5*39 = 195$

From (eq3), we have:

$blue\ nonpleated = 333 - 195 = 138$

Solve for x: one over four (4x + 15) = 24

Komok [63]

Answer:

x = 81/4

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply both sides by 4

4x + 15 = 96

subtract 15 from both sides

4x = 81

divide both sides by 4

x= 81/4

i hope that's right
