Find MN M----2.5x----N----x-----R MR = 5x -3 Please help I don't understand how to do it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Segment MN and segment NR combine to form segment MR By the segment addition postulate, we know that MN+NR = MR

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

MN = 2.5x NR = x MR = 5x-3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

So, MN+NR = MR turns into 2.5x+x = 5x-3 solve for x. Then use that value of x to calculate MN = 2.5x
