Since K is the midpoint of JL and we know that JK and KL are separate segments of JL, JK and KL are equal to each other.
6x + 11 = 16x + 1
Subtract 6x and 1 from both sides
10 = 10x
Divide both sides by 10
1 = x
We also know that:
JL = JK + KL = 6(1) + 11 + 16(1) + 1 = 6 + 11 + 16 + 1 = 34
2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10
y = 5 − 2x
x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10
x − 10 + 4x = 10
5x − 10 = 10
<em>add 10 to each side</em>
<em>5x-10+10 = 10 + 10</em>
<em>5x=20</em>
5x = 0 <em>this is the error</em>
He needs to add 10 to each side
The correct answer is:
[B]: "
9.6 cm " .
____________________________________________________________Explanation:____________________________________________________________Let "FH" = "x" ; for which we wish to solve.
45 cm / 12 cm = 36 cm / "x" (in "cm") ;
To solve for "x" ;
Cross--multiply:
Note: Given:
"

" ; "
ad = bc " ; (b ≠ 0 ; d ≠ 0) ;
So: " 45x = 12 * 36 " ;
→ 45x = 432 ;
Divide each side of the equation by "45" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
→ 45x / 45 = 432 / 45 ;
→
x = 9.6 cm ;
