Given line LM and point R that lies on line LM, identify the following ratios given that point R lies a/b of the way along line LM, closer to L than M.
LR:LM
RM:LM
RL:RM

I don't understand how to do this, help.

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If point R lies of the way along line LM, closer to L than M, then

Find all needed ratios:

1.

2. By segment addition postulate,

so

3.

then

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
