Sometimes it helps to draw it out...

(17)
C_______M_________Q
|___________________|
21

therefore, CM + MQ = CQ
17 + MQ = 21
MQ = 21 - 17
MQ = 4 <===

we know that

If M is between points C and Q

then

$CQ=CM+MQ$

$CM=17\ units\\ CQ=21\ units\\MQ=?$

Solve for MQ

$MQ=CQ-CM$

Substitute the values in the formula above

$MQ=21-17$

$MQ=4\ units$

therefore

the answer is

$MQ=4\ units$

Answer:

1. -3

2. -12

3. 20

4. -15

5. 6

6. -15w+5

7. 10

8. C<-26

9.p> -40

10. P> 16

Step-by-step explanation:

~ -9p -17 = 10

-9p = 27

P = -3

~ x/4 -5 = -8

x/4 = -3

x = -12

~ p/5 +6 =10

p/5 = 4

p = 20

~ -2(m-30) =-6m

-2m+60=-6m

4m = -60

m = -15

~ 3n +2=8+2n

n = 6
