Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment NL is twice the length of midsegment WV.

2WV = NL

2(x+15) = x+21

2x +30 = x +21 . . . . simplify

x = -9 . . . . . . . . . . . . add -30-x

_____

Additional comment

This value of x means the other segments are ...

MN = 12

WV = 6

NL = 12

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are n students, then the number of pairs is $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$ .

With 12 students, $\frac{12(12-1)}{2} = \frac{132}{2}=66$ pairs can be formed.

The reason the formula works is this: Each of the 12 students can be paired with 11 other students (no student is paired with him/her self). But counting 12 x 11 = 132 counts each pair twice. Example: student A can be paired with student B,..., student B can be paired with student A. The pair was counted two times.

See the attached image that shows pairings of 5 students. There are

5(5 - 1)/2 = 5(4)/2 = 10 pairs.
