Mathematics
1 answer:
marta [7]3 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

MP = x - 8

PN = 3x - 9

MN = 21

we know,

according to segment addition postulate AB + BC = AC

now,

MP + PN = MN

→ x - 8 + 3x - 9 = 21

→ 4x - 17 = 21

→ 4x = 21 + 17

→ 4x = 38

→ x = 38/4 = 9

→ x = 9

therefore, value of x is 9.

hope this answer helps you dear! take care

Vikentia [17]
Catie used 28 beads on the 7 in. wire because when you divide 68÷17 you get 4 which means that she used 4 beads every 1 in. Then you multiply 4×7 because that's how much we need to figure out and you get 28.

Can someone solve this for me?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as change in x/change in y.

The x changed by 1/8-(-1/4)=3/8 and the y changed by -4-(-1/4)=(-3/4).

Now, divide the 2 fractions:

(-3/4)/3/8 = -3/4*8/3 = -4/8 = -1/2
