Assuming T, B and N are all on the same line, then we can say
BT + TN = BN
which is the segment addition postulate.
Subtract TN from both sides to get
BT + TN = BN
BT + TN - TN = BN - TN
BT = BN - TN
BN - TN = BT
Which is what choice C is saying. Therefore the answer is choice C.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
By the trapezoid midsegment theorem,
2x = (x-6) + (2x-8)
2x = x - 6 + 2x - 8
2x = 3x - 14
x = 14
So we know AD = 8, EF = 14, and BC = 20
We know that 20% of the first type of juice is pure fruit juice and 45% of second type of juice is pure fruit juice.
Now we have to make 30 pints of a mixture that is 35% pure.
Let x be the number of pints of first type of juice and y be the number of pints of second type of juice.
So,
(Equation 1)
Since, 20% of x + 45% of y = 35.3% of 30
(Equation 2)
Solving equations 1 and 2,
we get y=18 and x=12.
So, 12 pints of first type of juice and 18 pints of second type of juice are used.
Twice a number (2x) decreased by 7 (- 7).
2x - 7
Two times a specfic number (x) subtracted by 7.
