Answer:
QC - PB = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given PQ is parallel to BC then it divides the sides proportionally, that is
= 
= 
= 
, then
= ( cross- multiply )
8PB = 5QC → *
Given PB + QC = 26 , then
PB = 26 - QC
Substitute into *
8(26 - QC) = 5QC ← distribute left side
208 - 8QC = 5QC ( subtract 5QC from both sides )
208 - 13QC = 0 ( subtract 208 from both sides )
- 13QC = - 208 ( divide both sides by - 13 )
QC = 16
Thus PB = 26 - QC = 26 - 16 = 10
QC - PB = 16 - 10 = 6

2+3x-1/5-1-x/5
2+3/5x-1-x/5
1+3/5x-x/5
1+2/5x
The answer is B. You had to check the work in the calculator after you showed the work. Two answers gave you whole numbers , then when you plug it in only one of them solved to 180 correctly
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
The value of y is 8.4375
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2><h3>Known :</h3>
<h3>Asked :</h3>
- The value of y when x is 2.25
<h3>Solution :</h3>
2/7.5 = 2.25/y
Do a cross multiplication,
2/7.5 = 2.25/y
=> 20/75 = 2.25/y
=> 75 . 2.25 = 20y
=> 168.75 = 20y
Reverse the equation,
168.75 = 20y
=> 20y = 168.75
Find the value of y,
20y = 168.75
=> y = 8.4375
<h3>Conclusion :</h3>
y = 8.4375
