In step 1, the commutative property of addition is used since x + 5 is just equal to 5 + x
In step 2, the associative property of addition is used since x is grouped to the last term.
In step 3, the distributive property of multiplication is used since 3 is multiplied to the terms inside the parenthesis.
In step 4, multiplication is done.

8) Find the endpoint Cif M is the midpoint of segment CD and M (2, 4) and D (5,7)

Elenna [48]

Answer:

8. c. (-1, -1)

9. a. (-6, -1)

b. True

Step-by-step Explanation:

8. Given the midpoint M(2, 4), and one endpoint D(5, 7) of segment CD, the coordinate pair of the other endpoint C, can be calculated as follows:

let $D(5, 7) = (x_2, y_2)$

$C(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)$

$M(2, 4) = (\frac{x_1 + 5}{2}, \frac{y_1 + 7}{2})$

Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of C

$2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}$ and $4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}$

Solve for each:

$2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}$

$2*2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}*2$

$4 = x_1 + 5$

$4 - 5 = x_1 + 5 - 5$

$-1 = x_1$

$x_1 = -1$

$4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}$

$4*2 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}*2$

$8 = y_1 + 7$

$8 - 7 = y_1 + 7 - 7$

$1 = y_1$

$y_1 = 1$

Coordinates of endpoint C is (-1, 1)

9. a.Given segment AB, with midpoint M(-4, -5), and endpoint A(-2, -9), find endpoint B as follows:

let $A(-2, -9) = (x_2, y_2)$

$B(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)$

$M(-4, -5) = (\frac{x_1 + (-2)}{2}, \frac{y_1 + (-9)}{2})$

$-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}$ and $-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}$

Solve for each:

$-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}$

$-4*2 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}*2$

$-8 = x_1 - 2$

$-8 + 2 = x_1 - 2 + 2$

$-6 = x_1$

$x_1 = -6$

$-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}$

$-5*2 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}*2$

$-10 = y_1 - 9$

$-10 + 9 = y_1 - 9 + 9$

$-1 = y_1$

$y_1 = -1$

Coordinates of endpoint B is (-6, -1)

b. The midpoint of a segment, is the middle of the segment. It divides the segment into two equal parts. The answer is TRUE.

Blake is 7 years older than Heather. In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 55. How old is Blake now?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

24 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Blake be x and the age of Heather by y then...

x=7+y

7+x+7+y=55

Notice we are adding additional 7s because the question states "in 7 years"

Simplify the second equation...

7+x+7+y=55

14+x+y=55

Subtract 21 from both sides

x+y=41

Solve using substitution (substitute 7+y for x since x = 7+y)

7+y+y=41

Combine like terms

2y+7=41

Subtract 7 from both sides

2y=34

Divide both sides by 2

y=17

x=7+17=24

Blake is 24 years old now

If u add 5 to me and then divide by 9,u get 3. What number amI?

STatiana [176]

You are 22. If you add 22+5 you get 27. And if you divide 27 by 9 you get 3. So it is 22
