Look at the picture.

1)|AM| = |MB| = x
|AN| = |NC| = y
|BC| = 2y - 2x = 2(y - x)
|MN| = y - x
Therefore |BC| = 2|MN|
2)|AM| = |MB| = x
|AN| = |NC| = y

|BC| = 2y - 2x = 2(y - x)
|MN| = y - x
Therefore |BC| = 2|MN|

Hello ! (<span>I attached a picture of the drawing)</span>

<span>First, we draw a line with 3 points B,A,C in this order.Then </span><span>we will note the middle of AB with M and also the middle of AC with N.
</span>
<span></span><span>We can notice that BC = AB + AC
</span>
<span>M - the middle of AB ⇒ AM=MB=AB/2</span>
<span>N - the middle of AC ⇒ AN=NC=AC/2
</span>

<span>We can write MN as AM+AN , which means AB/2 + AC/2 . We can also write AB as BC-AC , so we will have :
</span>
<span>MN = AB/2 + AC/2</span>
<span>MN = (BC-AC)/2 + AC/2</span>
<span>MN = BC/2 - AC/2 + AC/2 ( AC/2 with -AC/2 are reduced)</span>
MN = BC/2    or    BC = 2·MN

Find the sum of the equation
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

\frac{{y}^{2}+13y-6}{{(y-1)}^{2}(y+7)}

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  Rewrite {y}^{2}-2y+1y  in the form{a}^{2}-2ab+{b}^{2}, where a = y and b = 1.

\frac{y}{{y}^{2}-2(y)(1)+{1}^{2}}+\frac{6}{{y}^{2}+6y-7}

2)  Use Square of Difference: {(a-b)}^{2}={a}^{2}-2ab+{b}^{2}.

\frac{y}{{(y-1)}^{2}}+\frac{6}{{y}^{2}+6y-7}

3)  Factor {y}^{2}+6y-7.

1 - Ask: Which two numbers add up to 6 and multiply to -7?

-1 and 7

2 - Rewrite the expression using the above.

(y-1)(y-7)

Outcome/Result: \frac{y}{(y-1)^2} +\frac{6}{(y-1)(y+7)}

4) Rewrite the expression with a common denominator.

\frac{y(y+7)+6(y-1)}{{(y-1)}^{2}(y+7)}

5)  Expand.

\frac{{y}^{2}+7y+6y-6}{{(y-1)}^{2}(y+7)}

6) Collect like terms.

\frac{{y}^{2}+(7y+6y)-6}{{(y-1)}^{2}(y+7)}

7) Simplify  {y}^{2}+(7y+6y)-6y  to  {y}^{2}+13y-6y

\frac{{y}^{2}+13y-6}{{(y-1)}^{2}(y+7)}
