a)
FH = 102, FG = 5x + 9. HG = 9x - 5 <em>Given</em>
FG + HG = FH <em>Segment addition postulate</em>
5x + 9 + 9x - 5 = 102 <em>Substitution</em>
14x + 4 = 102 <em>Simplify (added like terms)</em>
14x = 98 <em>Subtraction property of equality</em>
x = 7 <em>Division property of equality</em>
b) FG = 5x + 9 = 5(7) + 9 = 35 + 9 = 44
c) HG = 9x - 5 = 9(7) - 5 = 63 - 5 = 58
Answers: a = 7, b = 44, c = 58
Answer: x = 24
Step-by-step explanation: To solve for <em>x</em> in the given proportion, we use the means-extremes property.
The product of the extremes, (x)(20),
equals the product of the means, (32)(15).
So we have (x)(20) or 20x equals (32)(15) or 480.
So we have 20x = 480.
Dividing both sides by 20, <em>x = 24</em>.
Answer 15y 3x
Step-by-step explanation: 4 + 6 + 3 =15y
and you have 3x
Minus three every time would be the rate of change.
