The better buy is 36 pens for $5.76 Because if you divide $5.76 by 36 pens Each pan will cost only $.16 and if you divide $4.32 by 24 pans each pen will cost $.18 so the better buy is the 36 pens.

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. ​ (9​,9​) and ​(6​,8​)
mars1129 [50]

<u>Answer:</u>

The mid-point is (7.5, 8.5).

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given two points (9​,9​) and ​(6​,8​) as the endpoints for a line segment and we are to find the midpoint of this segment.

We know that the formula for finding the mid point is:

<em>Mid point = (\frac {x_1 + x_1 }{ 2 } ,\frac { y_1 + y_2} {2} )</em>

So substituting the given values of the coordinates of the endpoints in the above formula to get:

= (\frac {9 + 6}{2} , \frac {9 + 8}{2} )

= (\frac {15}{2} , \frac {17} {2} )

=(7.5, 8.5)

Therefore, the mid-point is (7.5, 8.5).

Create an equation to solve for x using the trapezoid midsegment formula:
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Equation for x:    3x - 6 = \frac{2x - 1 + 25}{2}

x = 9

CD = 17

GH = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The midsegment formula for a trapezoid is

GH = \frac{CD + FE}{2}

3x - 6 = \frac{2x - 1 + 25}{2}

6x - 12 = 2x + 24

4x = 36

x = 9

CD = 2x - 1 = 2(9) - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17

GH = 3x - 6 = 3(9) - 6 = 3 = 27 - 6 = 21
