Can someone pls help me with problems 4 and 5 pls this is due in a bit and I’m in a rush I’ll give 100 points it’s all I have

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

#4

Let M is the midpoint of DE.

Since D is at 8 and DE = 5.

DM = ME = 5/2 = 2.5

Point M is at:

• 8 + 2.5 = 10.5 if E is to the right of D
• 8 - 2.5 = 5.5 if E is to the left of D

#5

Given

• XY = 7,
• YZ = 2x - 1,
• XZ = 30

Since XZ = XY + YZ, set up an equation and solve for x:

• 7 + (2x - 1) = 30
• 2x + 6 = 30
• 2x = 24
• x = 12

#6

The distance from your house to friend's is LN.

We have:

• M is midpoint of LN, so LM = MN
• LM = 3x
• MN = 2x + 2

Set up an equation, solve for x:

• 3x = 2x + 2
• 3x - 2x = 2
• x = 2

Find the distance LM:

• LM = 3*2 = 6

Find the distance LN:

• LN = 2*LM = 2*6 = 12
