Answer:

y = -3x -3 (the graph is a straight line)

m = -3

b = -3

y = 2x + 2

m = 2

b = 2

2x - y = 6

x + y = 6

_______

3x = 12

3x/3 = 12/3

x = 4

Plug x into the equation to solve for y.

2(4) - y = 6

8 - y = 6

- y = 6 - 8

- y = -2

y = 2

Your solution is ( 4, 2).

3. No the solution is ( 10 , -11/2)

- 2x - 4y = 2

3x + 4y = 8

__________

x = 10

- 2 (10) - 4y = 2

- 20 - 4y = 2

- 4y = 22

- 4y/ 4 = 22/4

y = -11/2

Bonus:

4x + 3 ( 1787 - x) = 5792

4x + 5361 - 3x = 5792

x + 5361 = 5792

x = 431 (reserved seat tickets)

Minus 1787 with 431 which is 1,356 general admission tickets.

Answer: 431 reserved seat tickets and 1,356 general admission tickets!

Hope this helps!

In previous lessons, we used the parallel postulate to learn new theorems that enabled us to solve a variety of problems about parallel lines:

Parallel Postulate: Given: line l and a point P not on l. There is exactly one line through P that is parallel to l.

In this lesson we extend these results to learn about special line segments within triangles. For example, the following triangle contains such a configuration:

Triangle △XYZ is cut by AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ where A and B are midpoints of sides XZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and YZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ respectively. AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is called a midsegment of △XYZ. Note that △XYZ has other midsegments in addition to AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. Can you see where they are in the figure above?

If we construct the midpoint of side XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ at point C and construct CA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and CB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ respectively, we have the following figure and see that segments CA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and CB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ are midsegments of △XYZ.

In this lesson we will investigate properties of these segments and solve a variety of problems.

Properties of midsegments within triangles

We start with a theorem that we will use to solve problems that involve midsegments of triangles.

Midsegment Theorem: The segment that joins the midpoints of a pair of sides of a triangle is:

parallel to the third side. half as long as the third side.

Proof of 1. We need to show that a midsegment is parallel to the third side. We will do this using the Parallel Postulate.

Consider the following triangle △XYZ. Construct the midpoint A of side XZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.

By the Parallel Postulate, there is exactly one line though A that is parallel to side XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. Let’s say that it intersects side YZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ at point B. We will show that B must be the midpoint of XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and then we can conclude that AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is a midsegment of the triangle and is parallel to XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.

We must show that the line through A and parallel to side XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ will intersect side YZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ at its midpoint. If a parallel line cuts off congruent segments on one transversal, then it cuts off congruent segments on every transversal. This ensures that point B is the midpoint of side YZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.

Since XA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅AZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, we have BZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅BY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. Hence, by the definition of midpoint, point B is the midpoint of side YZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯. AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is a midsegment of the triangle and is also parallel to XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.

Proof of 2. We must show that AB=12XY.

In △XYZ, construct the midpoint of side XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ at point C and midsegments CA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and CB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ as follows:

First note that CB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯∥XZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ by part one of the theorem. Since CB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯∥XZ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ and AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯∥XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, then ∠XAC≅∠BCA and ∠CAB≅∠ACX since alternate interior angles are congruent. In addition, AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅CA¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.

Hence, △AXC≅△CBA by The ASA Congruence Postulate. AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯≅XC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. Since C is the midpoint of XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, we have XC=CY and XY=XC+CY=XC+XC=2AB by segment addition and substitution.

So, 2AB=XY and AB=12XY. ⧫

Example 1

Use the Midsegment Theorem to solve for the lengths of the midsegments given in the following figure.

M, N and O are midpoints of the sides of the triangle with lengths as indicated. Use the Midsegment Theorem to find

A. MN. B. The perimeter of the triangle △XYZ. A. Since O is a midpoint, we have XO=5 and XY=10. By the theorem, we must have MN=5. B. By the Midsegment Theorem, OM=3 implies that ZY=6; similarly, XZ=8, and XY=10. Hence, the perimeter is 6+8+10=24.

We can also examine triangles where one or more of the sides are unknown.

Example 2

Use the Midsegment Theorem to find the value of x in the following triangle having lengths as indicated and midsegment XY¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯.

By the Midsegment Theorem we have 2x−6=12(18). Solving for x, we have x=152.
