Question

Suppose N is between M and P. Use the Segment Addition Postulate to solve for the variable. MN = 7y - 4 NP= y + 6 MP = 29 Select one: a. 3.735 b. 3.75 c. 3.375 d. -3.75

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

29 = 7y -4 +y+6

29 = 8y+2

8y = 27

y = 27/8

y =. 3.375

Answer 2

The midpoint of a line is the middle of the distance between two points. The value of y if  is the midpoint of AC is 3.375

Midpoint of a segment

The midpoint of a line is the middle of the distance between two points. Given the following parameters

MN = 7y - 4, and;

NP= y + 6

MP = 29

If N is between M and P.  hence;

MN + NP = MP

Substitute

7y-4 + y + 6 = 29

8y + 2 = 29
8y = 27

y = 27/8

y = 3.375

Hence the value of y if   N is between M and P is 3.375
