Answer:
PR = 5 because LP + PR = LR according to the Segment Addition Postulate, and 7 + 5 = 12 using substitution
Step-by-step explanation:
The naming of the segments suggests that point P is between L and R, so that ...
LP + PR = LR
This corresponds to the last choice.
_____
<em>Comments on the alternate interpretation</em>
On the other hand, if point L is between P and R, then the segments are PL and LR. The Segment Addition Postulate would tell you that ...
PL + LR = PR
The Reflexive Property of Congruence would tell you that PL = LP. The Substitution Property would tell you LP can be substituted into this equation, making it ...
LP + LR = PR
and by the commutative property, ...
LR + LP = PR.
Multiple properties of addition and congruence are involved with this interpretation, which more or less matches the third choice. That is, the simple explanation of answer choice 3, by itself, is insufficient to explain why the length of PR should be considered to be 19, not 5.
-10 is less than -5 because negative numbers are farther from 0. Same applies to -4 and -20.
Work shown above! Box a is 240 lbs Box b is 120 and Box c is 150 lbs hope this helps c:
Answer:
2.3=v+0.47v=
We move all terms to the left:
2.3-(v+0.47v)=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-(+1.47v)+2.3=0
We get rid of parentheses
-1.47v+2.3=0
We move all terms containing v to the left, all other terms to the right
-1.47v=-2.3
v=-2.3/-1.47
v=1+0.83/1.47
