<h3>Point Y is the midpoint of segment XZ. Then value of x is 20</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

<em><u>Point Y is the midpoint of segment XZ</u></em>

XY = 2(3x +1)

YZ = 5x + 22

To find: Value of x

Since, Point Y is the midpoint of segment XZ,

Therefore,

XY = YZ

2(3x + 1) = 5x + 22

6x + 2 = 5x + 22

6x - 5x = 22 - 2

Thus, value of x is 20

If EF bisects CD, CG = 5x-1, GD = 7x-13, EF=6x-4, and GF = 13, find EG (MUST SHOW WORK)

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

EG = 19

Explanation:

Given that a line segment CD. EF bisects the line CD at point G.

Length of CG = 5x-1

Length of GD = 7x - 13

We know that CG = GD

5x-1 = 7x-13

Solve for x,

2x = 12

x = 6

Now given that,

EF = 6x-4

GF = 13

EF = EG + GF

6x - 4 = EG + 13

EG = 6x - 4 - 13

EG = 6x - 17

put the value of x = 6, in order to find the EG

EG = 6*6 - 17

EG = 19

That's the final answer.

I hope it will help you.

cody is saving money for a new skateboard that costs $77.99. He already has $20 in his savings account. He earns $6 for every la

iVinArrow [24]

Cost of the skateboard = $77.99

Amount that he already has = $20

$77.99 - $20 = $57.99
He still needs <u>$57.99</u>

He earns $6 for every lawn he mows.

$57.99 ÷ 6 = 9.65
He needs to move <u>10 lawns </u>to earn that $57.99.

He can mow 3 lawns a weekend.

10 ÷ 3 = 3 1/3
He needs to work on <u>4 weekends</u> to mow the 10 lawns.

Answer: It will take him 4 weekends to save enough to buy the skateboard.
