Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
The value of x can be solved as follows, take note of the numbers you will need to drag to complete the equations:
4x + 12x = 320 (segment addition postulate)
16x = 320 (combining like terms)
x = 20 (dividing both sides by 16)
We would end up with the value of x, which equals 20.
Numbers that we end up using are: 12, 16, 20, and 320.

d is true
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer to the first question: 7/10ths of a mile
Explaination: When adding fractions, you need to have a common denominator. Since dividing 3/10 by 2 to get a denominator of 5 makes 3 a decimal, it's easier to multiply 2/5 by 2 to get a denominator of 10. You do the same to the top that you do to the bottom:
. From there, just add 4/10 and 3/10 to get the answer: 7/10ths of a mile.
Answer to the second question: Daniel read three (3/10) more books
Explaination: Since you can't evenly multiply 5 or 2 to get the opposite number, it's easier to multiply to the lowest common multiple. The easiest way to find that is to multiply both denominators (5*2=10). You'll have to multiply the numerator by the same amount you multipled the denominator by. For Daniel, that would mean:
. For Edgar, that would mean:
. So, Daniel read 3 more books than Edgar.
Answer to the third question: 2/4 mile (or 1/2 a mile)
Explaination: 2/8 can be simplified, by dividing the top and bottom by 2, resulting in 1/4. Since both fractions have the same denominator (/4), you can add them to get 2/4ths. This can be simplified further to half (1/2) a mile.
You put the scores in order from least to greatest, then you have to find the middle number. Now you will end up with two middle numbers you add them and divide by 2 then u have it answer.
