Suppose J is between H and K. Use the Segment Addition Postulate to solve for x. Then find the length of each segment.
HJ=4x+9, JK=3x+3, KH=33
Answer:
It should be noted that:
HJ=4x+9,
Jk=3x+3,
HK=33
4x + 9 + 3x + 3 = 33 7x + 12 = 33
7x = 33 - 12
7x = 21
Divide
x = 21 / 7
x = 3
HJ=4x+9, = 4(3) + 9 = 21
Jk=3x+3 = 3(3) + 3 = 12
Therefore, the length of the segment when J is between H and K will be HJ = 21 and JK = 12.
