Question 261881: suppose M is between L and N use segment addition postulate to solve for the variable then find lengths of line LM, line MN,and line LN
LM= 7y+9
MN=3y+4
LN= 143 Answer by drk(1908) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! LM + MN = LN by the segment addition postulate
So,
combine like terms to get
subtract 13 to get
divide to get
LM = 100
MN = 43
