1-2 Measuring and Constructing Segments Example 3B: Using the Segment Addition Postulate M is between N and O. Find NO. 10 = 2x NM + MO = NO Seg. Add. Postulate 17 + (3x – 5) = 5x + 2 – 2 – 2 Substitute the given values Subtract 2 from both sides. 3x + 12 = 5x + 2 Simplify. 3x + 10 = 5x –3x –3x 2 2 5 = x Simplify. Subtract 3x from ... ................
