Answer:

LM = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given:

L is the midpoint of NM

NL = 3x + 1

LM = 8x - 24

LM =?

Next, we shall determine the value of x.

This can be obtained as follow:

Since L is the midpoint of NM, it means that NL and LM are equal i.e

NL = LM

Thus, we can obtain the value of x as follow:

NL = 3x + 1

LM = 8x - 24

NL = LM

3x + 1 = 8x - 24

Collect like terms

3x - 8x = - 24 - 1

-5x = - 25

Divide both side by - 5

x = -25/-5

x = 5

Finally, we shall determine the length of LM as follow:

LM = 8x - 24

x = 5

LM = 8(5) - 24

LM = 40 - 24

LM = 16

Therefore, the length of LM is 16

Answer:

Assuming you mean baseball in stead of basketball, if must be the 5th floor.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The girl on the fifth floor thinks soccer is boring" implies that on the 5th floor lives the football or baseball fan. However, it cannot be the football fan since it is already known that she lives on 6th.

So the baseball fan, which is Jean, lives on 5th.

Steffie makes a scale drawing for a crate with the demensions 15 inches long by 12 inches wide. Her scale factor is 1:3. Brian m

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Dimensions → (5 inches × 4 inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale factor used for the drawing by Steffie = $\frac{1}{3}$

Since, scale factor = $\frac{\text{Dimension of the drawing}}{\text{Actual dimension}}$

For Steffie,

Actual length of the crate = $\frac{\text{Dimension of the drawing}}{\text{Scale factor}}$

= $\frac{15}{\frac{1}{3}}$

= 45 inches

Actual width of the crate = $\frac{12}{\frac{1}{3} }$

= 36 inches

Since Brian used the scale factor = $\frac{1}{9}$

Length of the drawing = Actual length × Scale factor

= 45 × $\frac{1}{9}$

= 5 inches

Width of the drawing = Actual width × Scale factor

= 36 × $\frac{1}{9}$

= 4 inches

Therefore, dimensions of the drawing made by Brian are (5 inches × 4 inches)

Linda made $104 for 8 hours of work. At the same rate, how many hours would she have to work to make $143?

KatRina [158]

Answer:

11 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

104 dollars for 8 hours of work. So how much money per hour?

104/8= 13 dollars per hour

At the same rate = 13 dollars per hour, so

How many hours to make 143 dollars? With the same rate?

143/13 = 11 hours
