2x+1=5x-44 that would be your equation

next start to simplify 

subtract 1 from both sides so you are left with 2x=5x-45

then subtract 5x from both sides and you have -3x=-45

then finally divide -3 from -45 to get x=15

Answer:

PQ=31\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In this problem Q is the midpoint of PR

so

PQ=QR

we have

PQ=2x+1 -----> equation A

QR=5x-44 -----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

2x+1=5x-44

solve for x

5x-2x=1+44

3x=45

x=15

Find the value of PQ

PQ=2x+1 ------> PQ=2(15)+1=31\ units

The scale of a map is 1cm:12 km. find the actual distance for 12cm
anzhelika [568]
This is simply a question about ratios. This ratio means that for every 1 cm on the map, there are 12 km in actuality. You can set this problem up in fractions:

1 cm           12 cm
--------   =   ----------
12 km             x

To solve for x, we cross-multiply, for the moment ignoring units. Remember, your answer will be in km.

1*x=12*12

x=144

If x=144, then for 12 cm, there are 144 km.
