LAST QUESTION!!WILL GIV BRAINLIEST!!! AT LEAST LOOK!!! SHARE YO SMARTNESS!!! EASY BUT IM DUMB!!!!!!


Using the segment addition postulate, find the value of x.


HI = 6x + 8

IJ = 2x - 4

HJ = 124

A) 15

B) 16

C) 9



HINT THAT I WAS GIVEN: The segment addition postulate states that the lengths of the pieces of a segment will add up to the length of the entire segment.

Answer:

A. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

HI and IJ are both segments in the line HJ so HI and IJ combined equal the total length of HJ. This means we can write an equation using HI and IJ and setting them equal to HJ.

6x + 8 + 2x - 4 = 124

next step is to combine like terms:

8x + 4 = 124

then, subtract 4 from both sides.

8x + 4 = 124

     -4       -4

8x = 120

finally, divide both sides by 8.

8x/8 = 120/8

x = 15

since it is equal to x, 15 is your solution!
