Using the segment addition postulate find the length of the segment EF

Mathematics
1 answer:
Step2247 [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

10

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)

20 if f(x) = 4x + 5, what is the value of f(-3)?<br> A-2<br> B-7<br> C 17<br> 04
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

B. -7

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x + 5

To find the value of f(-3), replace all the x's in f(x) with -3.

f(x) = 4x + 5

f(-3) = 4(-3) + 5

f(-3) = -12 + 5

f(-3) = -7.

This makes your answer B, -7.

Ermias and Jeremiah both leave the bookstore at the same time, but in opposite directions. If Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than
leva [86]

Using proportions, it is found that Ermias is traveling at a rate of 11 mph and Jeremiah at a rate of 19 mph.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Jeremiah travels 8 mph faster than Ermias, hence their velocities are:

x, x + 8

They travel in opposite directions, hence in one hour they are 2x + 8 apart.

In eight hours, the distance is 8(2x + 8), which is of 240 miles, hence:

8(2x +8) = 240

2x + 8 = 30

2x = 22

x = 11.

Then:

  • x = 11 -> Ermias.
  • x = 11 + 8 = 19 -> Jeremiah.
