Suppose M is between L and N. Use the segment addition postulate to solve for the variable. Then find the indicated lengths. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "LM= 5x+9, MN= 2x-6, LN = 59
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Draw the line segment LN. Put M somewhere between L and N.
\n" ); document.write( "Label LM as 5x+9 ; Label MN as 2x-6
\n" ); document.write( "Label the length of LN as 59
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "find x, LM, and MN please.
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "LM + MN = LN
\n" ); document.write( "5x+9 + 2x-6 = 59
\n" ); document.write( "7x + 3 = 59
\n" ); document.write( "7x = 56
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "LM = 5x+9 = 5*8+9 = 49
\n" ); document.write( "MN = 2x-6 = 2*8-6 = 10
\n" ); document.write( "==============================
