Your answer to this question is definitely C!
Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.
1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3
2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25
JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25
3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.

Answer: HJ = 25, JK = 25, HK = 50
Well we know that every 2 eggs requir 1 and 3/4 of flour so the easiest thing to do here (for me at least) is to round the fraction to the nearest whole number which in this case will be 1. Now that that's done we can say every 2 eggs calls for 2 cups of flour. Now all you need to do is multiply 2 by 9 to get 18 then put that in fraction form it'll be 17 and 3/4 cups of flour. I hope this helps!
The baker would be able to make 465 cakes. Or D.
Because, 7 x 60 = 420. 60 ÷ 4 = 15. 15 x 3 = 45. 420 + 45 = 465.
2(10+5)−5
=(2)(15)−5
=30−5
=25
C is the answer.
