Answer:
C. 666
Step-by-step explanation:
USING PEMDAS we can solve this problem.
Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.
1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3
2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25
JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25
3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.

Answer: HJ = 25, JK = 25, HK = 50

Answers:</h3>
- Coefficient is -8
- Terms are 15 and -8x
- Constant is 15
Explanation:
The coefficient is the number just to the left of the variable. So that's why -8 is the coefficient for -8x. This is the variable term while 15 is the constant (it has no variable multiplied with it). The two terms are 15 and -8x since we can write 15-8x as 15+(-8x). Terms are separated by a plus sign.
I hope this helps you
4x>-4 x>-1
8x <32 x <4
-1 <x <4
