Answer:

x + x + 100 = 180

2x + 100 = 180

2x = 80

x = 40

Answer:

x=40

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a straight line, and we know that angles on a straight line are supplementary, or add to 180 degrees.

So, all the angles added together must equal 180 degrees

100+x+x=180

Combine like terms

100+2x=180

Subtract 100 from both sides

2x=80

Divide by 2 on both sides

x=40

Hope this helps! :)

Consider M, N, and P. collinear points on MP.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three possible cases:

1. Point N lies between M and P, then MN + NP = MP. Consider needed difference:

$\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MN+NP}=\dfrac{MN(MN+NP)-MN\cdot NP}{NP(MN+NP)}=\\ \\=\dfrac{MN^2+MN\cdot NP-MN\cdot NP}{NP(MN+NP)}=\dfrac{MN^2}{NP(MN+NP)}$

2. Point N lies to the right from point P, then MP + PN = MN. Consider needed difference:

$\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MP+PN}{NP}-\dfrac{MP+PN}{MP}=\dfrac{MP}{NP}+1-1-\dfrac{NP}{MP}=\dfrac{MP^2-NP^2}{NP\cdot MP}$

3. Point N lies to the left from point M, then NM + MP = NP. Consider needed difference:

$\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN}{MN+MP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN\cdot MP-MN(MN+MP)}{MP(MN+MP)}=\\ \\=\dfrac{MN\cdot MP-MN^2-MN\cdot MP}{MP(MN+MP)}=\dfrac{-MN^2}{MP(MN+MP)}$
