Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
LM + MN = LN
4+5x = 9x
Subtract 5x from each side
4+5x-5x = 9x-5x
4 = 4x
Divide by 4
4/4 = 4x/4
1 =x
We want MN
5x =5*1 = 5
MN =5
the length of MN is 5(1), or 5
Segments add up to 9x here: 4 + 5x = 9x, so 4 = 4x and x must therefore be 1.
Then the length of MN is 5(1), or 5, and the length of LN is 9(1) = 9.
