For each of the following, draw and label an appropriate picture then solve. Show all of your work. If your work is not shown you will need to re-complete the assignment.


1) P, Q, V, and K are collinear with V between K and P, and Q between V and K. If VP = 14x + 4, PK = x + 630, VQ = 17x + 6, and KQ = 11x + 5, solve for VP.

2) Q, A, and D are collinear with D between A and Q. If AQ = 15x -31, QD = 4x + 6, and DA = 3x -5, solve for QD.

3) N, W, and K are collinear with N between W and K. If NK = 13x + 6, WK = 18x + 135, and NW = 16x -14, solve for WK.

4) Y, U, and J are collinear with Y between U and J. If YJ = 3x + 12, UJ = -7x + 211, and YU = 16x + 17, solve for YJ.

5) T, G, L, and K are collinear with T between G and K, and L between T and K. If KL = 10x + 2, TL = 10x + 4, GK = 10x + 264, and TG = 10x -2, solve for GK.

6) M, R, and Q are collinear with M between R and Q. If MQ = 4x + 9, RQ = 15x -5, and MR = 9x, solve for x

7) B, C, and S are collinear with B between C and S. If BS = -x + 18, CS = 8x + 62, and BC = 14x + 14, solve for BS.

8) D, J, and V are collinear with V between J and D. If JD = -8x + 322, DV = 13x -16, and VJ = 4x -12, solve for JD.

9) G, W, and N are collinear with N between W and G. If WG = -17x + 356, GN = 2x + 1, and NW = 9x + 19, solve for the largest segment part.

10) S, G, and P are collinear with G between P and S. If GS = 9x + 10, SP = 10x + 155, and GP = 14x -11, solve for SP.

11) T, Y, and C are collinear with Y between C and T. If YT = 16x + 12, TC = -3x + 338, and YC = 4x -19, solve for the entire segment.

12) C, N, and A are collinear with A between N and C. If NC = 2x + 496, CA = 16x + 16, and AN = 11x + 5, solve for CA.

13) Z, H, and E are collinear with E between H and Z. If HZ = 12x -6, ZE = -3x + 15, and EH = 4x + 12, solve for the smallest segment.

14) L, J, and F are collinear with F between J and L. If JL = 2x, LF = 2x -4, and FJ = 7x -10, solve for FJ.

15) R, B, and N are collinear with R between B and N. If RN = 11x + 6, BN = -14x + 136, and RB = 15x + 10, solve for RB.
