The value of x that would make line segment T V is parallel to line segment Q S is where x = 10. (Option C)

<h3>What is a line segment?</h3>

In Mathematics, a Line Segment is a part of a line that has two endpoints.

The difference between a line segment and a line is that while the former has a starting and an endpoint, the latter does not. See the attached image.

<h3>What is the Step by Step solution to the above problem?</h3>

Step 1

Note that if QS is Parallel to TV, then both sides of the triangle must be proportionally divided by TV.

That is: RV/VS = RT/TQ.

Step 2 - replace the segments by the relevant equations

(X + 4)/(X- 3) = (X+10)/(X)

Step 3 - Cross Multiply

 x(x +4) = (x -3)(x +10)

Removing the parentheses, we have

 X² +4X = X² +7X -30; Subtract X² from both sides and we have;

4X = 7X - 30

<h3>Step 3 - Collect like terms by cross multiplying</h3>

-3X = -30 or

3X = 30

Divide both sides by three and we have:

X = 10

bija089 [108]

Answer:

478 people

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do for this problem is simply multiply 239 by 2. If the first 6 rows are 239 people, and so are the next 6, that's all you need to do.

239*2=478
