Question

the value of x if N is between M and P, MP=60, MN=6x-7, and NP=2x+3

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

|<-------------- 60 ---------------->|

M----------------N-------------------P

     6x - 7              2x + 3

find:  x

MP = MN + NP

60 = 6x - 7 + 2x + 3

60 + 7 - 3 = 6x + 2x

64 = 8x

x = 64/8

x = 8
