2 3/20 ,2 9/20, 2 1/2,2 11/20,2 4/5
Plug all the numbers/answers given to find out which one is true while the others are false
Given,
LP = 15, PR = 9
Point P lies on the line segment PR. It would mean that,
LP + PR = LR
⇒LR = 15 + 9
⇒ LR = 24
Hence, "LR = 24 because LP + PR = LR according to the Segment Addition Postulate, and 15 + 9 = 24 using substitution" is the correct option.
-7 = x/2 + 1
Subtract one from both sides
-8 = x/2
Multiply two on both sides
-16 = x
Answer, x = -16
Checking,
-7 = (-16/2) + 1
-7 = -8 + 1
-7 = -7
