Consider M, N, and P. collinear points on MP.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three possible cases:

1. Point N lies between M and P, then MN + NP = MP. Consider needed difference:

$\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MN+NP}=\dfrac{MN(MN+NP)-MN\cdot NP}{NP(MN+NP)}=\\ \\=\dfrac{MN^2+MN\cdot NP-MN\cdot NP}{NP(MN+NP)}=\dfrac{MN^2}{NP(MN+NP)}$

2. Point N lies to the right from point P, then MP + PN = MN. Consider needed difference:

$\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MP+PN}{NP}-\dfrac{MP+PN}{MP}=\dfrac{MP}{NP}+1-1-\dfrac{NP}{MP}=\dfrac{MP^2-NP^2}{NP\cdot MP}$

3. Point N lies to the left from point M, then NM + MP = NP. Consider needed difference:

$\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN}{MN+MP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN\cdot MP-MN(MN+MP)}{MP(MN+MP)}=\\ \\=\dfrac{MN\cdot MP-MN^2-MN\cdot MP}{MP(MN+MP)}=\dfrac{-MN^2}{MP(MN+MP)}$

If you were to solve the following system by substitution, what would be the best variable to solve for and from what equation?2

The second equation because they all have a common factor of 3. You can get x by itself. However, with the first one, you'll end up with fractions instead.

Matt and Tikka thought of the same number. Matt added 7 to that number and then doubled the result. He got 26. Tikka did the sam

Reptile [31]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Matt ended up with 26.

We reverse the steps he did to get the original number that both people thought of.

26 / 2 = 13

13 - 7 = 6

6 is the original number.

Tikka did the same operations but in the reverse order so...

6 X 2 = 12

12 + 7 = 19
