X=-7 AB=-72
steps
since m is a midpoint, AM and MB are congruent so you set the two equations equal to each other, 4x-9=5x-3/3( is this a typo? bc 3/3 is 1)
subtract 4x from both sides m, -8=x-1
add 1 to both sides
x=-7
then plug -7 in for x 4(-7)-8=-36
since the two segments are congruent u do -36 x 2= -72
You can determine if things are parallel if the lines will eventually meet or not. M and N are one line while P and Q are also a line. Therefore, we can say P is one line while M is also one line. The answer would be is that they are parallel, the two lines will not crash with one another. To show your work as if they are parallel, you can continue the lines down and write a note saying they won't collide or you just say they won't collide and are parallel lines.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Reading rate is y pages per x minutes and proportional relationship formula is:</u>
<u>The coefficient is:</u>
<u>Let's verify if the given numbers fit into the same relationship:</u>
- 12/18 = 2/3
- 8/12 = 2/3
- 20/30 = 2/3
We confirm all same and it means k = 2/3
<u>Required equation is:</u>
This represents that Michael reads 2 pages per 3 minutes and for x minutes he reads 2/3x pages
