If JK = 8x + 24 and NO = 20, what is the value of x?

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

So..

NO=1/2 of JK because the two segments are parallel

Therefore because you have NO plug that into..

NO=1/2JK

YOU GET

1/2JK=20    multiply 2 so you can isolate JK

JK=40

Then plug that back into your JK=8x+24

40=8x+24     next subtract 24 on both sides

8x=16

x=2

Hope this helps!

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40
