Answer:

Option (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given question is incomplete; find the complete question with the attachment.

In the triangle NRL,

Points P, S and M are the midpoints of the sides NR, RL and LN respectively.

Sides SM = (3x - 4), NR = (9x - 20)

By the theorem of midpoints in a triangle,

SM = $\frac{1}{2}\text{NR}$

(3x - 4) = $\frac{1}{2}(9x-20)$

6x - 8 = 9x - 20

9x - 6x = 20 - 8

3x = 12

x = 4

Therefore, Option (A) will be the answer.

Please help! Which expression is equal to..?

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we can add the 2 fractions we require them to have a common denominator.

Multiply the numerator/ denominator of the first fraction by x

Multiply the numerator/ denominator of the second fraction by (x + 3)

= $\frac{3x(x)}{x(x+3)}$ + $\frac{(x-2)(x+3)}{x(x+3)}$

Now simplify the numerator, leaving the denominator

= $\frac{3x^2+x^2+x-6}{x(x+3)}$

= $\frac{4x^2+x-6}{x(x+3)}$ → A

IN the diagram Below AB is parallel to CD what is the value of y ? <br> picture is below

satela [25.4K]

Similar to the other question, because AB is parallel to CD, you know the 72º angle corresponds to the angle on top of y.

Because that angle above y and y together make a straight line (and a straight line measures 180º), you have
72 + y = 180

Solving that for y, you get y = 108º
