PQ= 2x +1 and QR= 5x - 44; find PQ

Mathematics

Lena [83]2 years ago

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 fuel efficiency (mpg rating) for cars has been increasing steadily since 1980. The formula for a car's fuel efficiency for a
Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) In the interval of [1980,1983].

b) In the interval of [1991, 1996].

Step-by-step explanation:

Fuel efficiency:

The fuel efficiency, for the cars, in x years after 1980, is given by:

E(x) = 0.36x + 15.9

15.9 is the fuel efficiency in 1980.

a. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars less than 17 mpg (in interval form)?

From 1980 to:

E(x) < 17

0.36x + 15.9 < 17

0.36x < 1.1

x < \frac{1.1}{0.36}

x < 3.06

3.06 = 1980 + 3 = 1983. So

In the interval of [1980,1983].

b. In what years was the average fuel efficiency for cars more than 20 mpg (in interval form)?

From x until 1996.

E(x) > 20

0.36x + 15.9 > 20

0.36x > 4.1

x > \frac{4.1}{0.36}

x > 11.38

11.38 = 1980 + 11 = 1991. So

In the interval of [1991, 1996].
