If triangle LMQ is similar to triangle LNP, calculate the length of segment LP.

LP = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

= , substitute values

=

= ( cross- multiply )

5LQ = 2(LQ + 9) = 2LQ + 18 ( subtract 2LQ from both sides )

3LQ = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )

LQ = 6

Then

LP = LQ + QP = 6 + 9 = 15

we need the options

step-by-step explanation:

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
