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=?

<u>Solve for MQ</u>

MQ=CQ-CM

Substitute the values in the formula above

MQ=21-17

MQ=4\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

MQ=4\ units

Solve for x:<br> 1 1/5x−2 1/3&lt;1/7x+1 1/2
Mashcka [7]

Answer: x

Step-by-step explanation:

1\frac{1}{5}x-2\frac{1}{3}

Add 2\frac{1}{3} on both sides and subtract \frac{1}{7}x on both sides to leave x's on the left side and independent values on the right.

(2\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{7}x) +1\frac{1}{5}x-2\frac{1}{3}

1\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{7}x

Solve the fractions.

1(\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{7})x

1(\frac{(1)(7)-(5)(1)}{(5)(7)} )x

1(\frac{7-5}{35} )x

1(\frac{2}{35} )x

1\frac{2}{35}x

Convert the mixed fraction 1\frac{2}{35} to an improper fraction. You can do this by multiplying 1 times 35 and adding 2.

\frac{37}{35}x

Now use the reciprocal (inverse fraction) and multiply on both sides to isolate x.

(\frac{35}{37}) (\frac{37}{35})x

x

x

Mr Smith is on a road trip from Cleveland to Chicago. He is 65% of the way there , and has already driven 455 miles. How many mo
Keith_Richards [23]
Hi i'd be glad to help you with this equation. 

basically all we have to do is find (65%) of 455*. 

65% of 455* = 295.75 

Next. 

455 + 295.75 = 750.75 

So, to check my work I have 750.75 miles in total. 

I have already driven 455 miles of 750.75 miles. 

Using subtraction we subtract our distance from our total. 

750.75 - 455 = 295.75 

So, in total your answer to this problem is (295.75) 

Hope this helps. 
Have a great day!
