Using the segment addition postulate find the length of the segment EF

10

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure the segment addition postulate just means that if you add JK and KL together, you'll get the length of JL. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Anyways, JK = 3x - 4, and KL = 5x + 6. If we add these together, according to the segment addition postulate, we will get JL, which equals 9x - 8. So, we set up an equation:

3x - 4 + 5x + 6 = 9x - 8

Simplifying this equation, we get:

8x + 2 = 9x - 8

x = 10

So, our answer is 10.

(also you ask for segment EF but I don't see segment EF so I'm going to just answer the question in the picture)

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.

it is x=-4
