(a) 95 = (x+7)*(x-7)

(b) 95 = (x+7)*(x-7) 
Expand the brackets:
95 = x² -7x + 7x -49 = x² - 49
Subtract x² from both sides:
95-x² = -49
Subtract 95 from both sides:
-x²=-49-95 
-x²= -144
Divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative numbers:
-x²/-1=-144/-1
x²=144
Take the square root of 144:
x = ± squareroot of 144
x = 12 or -12
x = 12 because you cannot have a negative age so Trina is 12 years old.

In MON, J, K, and L are midpoints. If JL = 11, LK = 13, and ON = 20, and JL || MN, LK || MO, and JK || ON, what is the length of
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The lengths of MN is 22 units, MO is 26 units and JK is 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>A l</em><em>ine segment</em><em> joining the </em><em>mid-points of two sides</em><em> in a triangle is </em><em>parallel to the third side</em><em> and </em><em>equal to half its length</em>

In Δ MON

∵ J, K, and L are mid-points

∵ JL // MN and LK // MO

∴ L is the mid-point of ON

∴ J is the mid-point of MO

∴ K is the mid-point of MN

∵ J, L are the mid-points of MO and ON

∵ JL is opposite to MN

→ By using the rule above

∴ JL = \frac{1}{2} MN

∵ JL = 11 units

∴ 11 = \frac{1}{2} MN

→ Multiply both sides by 2

∴ 22 = MN

∴ MN = 22 units

∵ K, L are the mid-points of MN and ON

∵ KL is opposite to MO

→ By using the rule above

∴ KL = \frac{1}{2} MO

∵ KL = 13 units

∴ 13 = \frac{1}{2} MO

→ Multiply both sides by 2

∴ 26 = MO

∴ MO = 26 units

∵ J, K are the mid-points of MO and MN

∵ JK is opposite to ON

→ By using the rule above

∴ JK = \frac{1}{2} ON

∵ ON =20 units

∴ JK = \frac{1}{2} (20)

∴ JK = 10 units

∴ The lengths of MN are 22 units, MO is 26 units and JK is 10 units
