Question

P is the midpoint of NQ.
NP = 5x + 1
NQ = 11x - 3

Find NP and NQ.

Answer 1

Since P is the midpoint of NQ, what can you say about the lenghts of segments NP and NQ?

Answer 2

NP is half of NQ

Answer 3

Ok, how about NP and PQ?

Answer 4

equall.

Answer 5

you said that NP is half of NQ, so that is

\[NP = \frac{ NQ }{ 2 }\]
and

NP = 5x + 1
NQ = 11x - 3

can you do it now?

Answer 6

yes. Thanks!

Answer 7

You are welcome.
