Answer:

LM = LN + MN [ assuming N is a point between L and M ]

$(x + 7) = (6x - 5) + (3x + 20) \\ x + 7 = 9x + 15 \\ 8x = - 8 \\ { \underline{x = - 1}}$

then find MN:

$MN = 3x + 20 \\ MN = 3( - 1) + 20 = - 3 + 20\\ { \boxed{ \boxed{MN = 17}}}$

Find the point on the line y = 2x + 3 that is closest to the origin.

Ludmilka [50]

I believe the answer is (-1,1) . The origin is the same as (0, 0) so I drew the line on a quick graph and if you are talking about distance, then the answer should be correct.
Hope this helped :)

Can someone help me with this

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

FG=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that Point G is on the Segment FH, it doesn't really matter where G is, but we can know for certain that:

$FH=FG+GH$

We are given that FH is 4x, GH is x, and FG is 2x+10. Substitute:

$4x=(2x+10)+x$

Solve for x. On the right, combine like terms:

$4x=3x+10$

Subtract 3x from both sides:

$x=10$

So, the value of x is 10.

To find the value of FG, substitute 10 into its x:

$FG=2x+10\\FG=2(10)+10$

Multiply:

$FG=20+10$

Add:

$FG=30$

And we're done!

Convert 8.132132132 ... to a rational expression in the form of a over b , where b ≠ 0.

bezimeni [28]

Let x = 8.132132132...

Then 1000x = 8132.132132132...

Subtract x from 1000x to eliminate the fractional part:

1000x - x = 8132.132132132... - 8.132132132...

999x = 8132 - 8 = 8124

x = 8124/999 = 2708/333
