If p is the midpoint of st, sp =x+4 and st=4x determine the length of st

Length of st is 16 Since p is the midpoint of st, that makes sp half of st. So sp = x+4 Given st = 4x Given st = 2(sp) length of st is twice length of sp st = 2(x+4) Set the two different ways of describing st equal to each other. 4x = 2(x + 4) Distribute the 2 4x = 2x + 8 Subtract 2x from both sides 2x = 8 Divide both sides by 2 x = 4 Now substitute the value 4 for x in the length of st st = 4x st = 4*4 st = 16.

As you know john locke said he wanted life liberty and the pursuit of happiness so thomas jefferson was inspired about what john locke said so thomas jefferson wrote the declaration of independence for people to be free for people to be happy
