Answer:

$JM = 60 units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$JM = 9x + 6$

$JK = 5x$

$KM = 3x + 12$

$JK + KM = JM$ (segment addition postulate)

$(5x) + (3x + 12) = (9x + 6)$ (substitution)

Solve for x

$5x + 3x + 12 = 9x + 6$

Collect like terms

$5x + 3x - 9x = -12 + 6$

$-x = -6$

Divide both sides by -1

$x = 6$

$JM = 9x + 6$

Plug in the value of x

$JM = 9(6) + 6$

$JM = 54 + 6$

$JM = 60 units$

Steve and Abby purchased a set of vases to place on a 12 foot long mantel above their fireplace. They want to place one vase 1/4

Nonamiya [84]

Answer: One vase should be placed 3 feet from the end of the mantel and the other vase should be placed 9 feet from the same end.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that lenght of the mantel above their fireplace is 12 feet.

They want to place one vase $\frac{1}{4}$ of the distance from one end of the mantel. This distance in feet is:

$distance_{vase1}=(12feet)(\frac{1}{4})\\\\distance_{vase1}=3feet$

They want to place the other vase $\frac{3}{4}$ of the distance from the same end of the mantel. Therefore, this distance in feet is:

$distance_{vase2}=(12feet)(\frac{3}{4})\\\\distance_{vase2}=\frac{36feet}{4}\\\\distance_{vase2}=9feet$

Therefore, one vase should be placed 3 feet from the end of the mantel and the other vase should be placed 9 feet from the same end.
