6. Algebra GH = 7y + 3, HI = 3y − 5, and GI = 9y + 7.
Use the number line below for Exercises 7–9. Tell whether the segments are
congruent. To start, use the definition of distance. Use the coordinates of the
points to write an equation for each distance.
For Exercises 10–12, use the figure below. Find the value of KL.
10. KL = 3x + 2 and LM = 5x − 10
11. KL = 8x − 5 and LM = 6x + 3
12. KL = 4x + 7 and LM = 5x − 4
Visualization Without using your ruler, sketch a segment with the given length.
Use your ruler to see how well your sketch approximates the length provided.
20. 5 cm 21. 8 in. 22. 8 cm
26. Suppose point J has a coordinate of −2 and JK = 4. What are the possible
coordinates of point K?
27. Suppose point X has a coordinate of 5 and XY = 10. What are the
possible coordinates of point Y?
31. If RO = 5x and RQ = 12x − 20, find the value of x. Then find RO,
OQ, and RQ.
