Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure the segment addition postulate just means that if you add JK and KL together, you'll get the length of JL. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Anyways, JK = 3x - 4, and KL = 5x + 6. If we add these together, according to the segment addition postulate, we will get JL, which equals 9x - 8. So, we set up an equation:

3x - 4 + 5x + 6 = 9x - 8

Simplifying this equation, we get:

8x + 2 = 9x - 8

x = 10

So, our answer is 10.

(also you ask for segment EF but I don't see segment EF so I'm going to just answer the question in the picture)

The width of a rectangle is 5 units less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 6 units. What is the width, in units, of

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The width of rectangle is 1 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The area of rectangle is 6 units and its width is 5 units less than the length.

So, to find the width of rectangle.

Let the length be $x$ and the width be $x-5$ .

Now, to find the width we put the formula of area of rectangle:

Area = length × width

$6= x\times (x-5)$

$6=x^{2}-5x$

$0=x^{2}-5x-6$

$0=x^{2}-6x+x-6$

$0=x(x-6)+1(x-6)$

$0=(x-6)(x+1)$

<em>On solving equation we get:</em>

$x-6=0, x+1=0$

Therefore, we take the value x=6 as it is positive value:

$x-6=0$

$x=6$

So, the width of rectangle:

Width = $x-5$

= $6-5$

= $1$

Therefore, the width of rectangle is 1 unit.

Theoretically, what would happen if a nation had an unlimited supply of a certain resource?

Stella [2.4K]

There are several ways this could go, this is my theory. This would be very dangerous because if one Nation had an unlimited supply of a certain resource, other Nations would possibly go to war. Also, the Nation would have trouble controlling its citizens, immigration, and power.

18 is 6+n. The other one is 60 because n=60 and 60+6=66. 66 represents Chang's height.
