Answer:

The length of EG is 58 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of a segment divides it into two equal part

Let us use this rule to solve our question

∵ E, F, and G are collinear points

∵ Point F is the midpoint of segment EG

→ That means F divides EG into 2 equal segments EF and FG

∴ EF = FG

∵ EF = 5x + 9

∵ FG = 3x + 17

→ Equate them

∴ 5x + 9 = 3x + 17

→ Subtract 3x from both sides

∵ 5x - 3x + 9 = 3x - 3x + 17

∴ 2x + 9 = 17

→ Subtract 9 from both sides

∴ 2x + 9 - 9 = 17 - 9

∴ 2x = 8

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∵ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{8}{2}

∴ x = 4

→ Substitute x by 4 in EF and FG to find their lengths

∵ EF = 5(4) + 9 = 20 + 9 = 29

∵ FG = 3(4) + 17 = 12 = 17 = 29

∵ EG = EF + FG

∴ EG = 29 + 29 = 58

∴ The length of EG is 58 units

Joey Chestnut is trying to break his own record for eating the most whole hot dogs in 101010 minutes. He needs to eat more than
anygoal [31]

Answer:

9d+11\frac{1}{4}>72

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to write an inequality to determine the number of hot dogs per minute Joey must eat for the last 9 minutes to break his record.

Let d represent the number of hot dogs Joey eats per minute for the next 9 minutes.

We have been given that after 1 minute, Joey has eaten 11\frac{1}{4} hot dogs.

Hot dogs eaten in next 9 minutes would be 9 times d that is 9d.

Total hot dogs eaten by Joey would be hot dogs eaten in 1 minute plus next 9 minutes: 9d+11\frac{1}{4}.

Since to break the record Joey needs to eat more than 72 hot dogs. We can represent this information in an inequality as:

9d+11\frac{1}{4}>72

Therefore, our required inequality would be 9d+11\frac{1}{4}>72.
