From the information provided, M is the midpoint of line segment AB. This implies that the segments AM and MB are two equal halves of the entire length,
Therefore, we would have the following;
Where AM = 3x+12, we now have;
ANSWER:
Segment AM = 36
Answer:
58
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the team only scored 1 point and 2 point shots, and the total number of shots is 58, and you are asking for the total amount of shots...
The points of intersection are (-2, -2) and (5, 5), so clearly y = x. This reduces the choices to the first and third ones.
Since x-4 is the denominator of all choices, its value at the point (5, 5) will be 1. Hence you need to find the choice that has a numerator of 5 when x=5.
The first choice has a numerator of -5-10 = -15, so that's not it.
The third choice has a numerator of -5+10 = 5, so that's the one you're looking for.
The best choice is the third one, ...
... y = negative x plus ten divided by the quantity x minus four , y = x
The answer would be 12 and 36 .
