If R is between Q and S then QR+RS=QS

given
QR=x+4
RS=3x-1
and QS=27

x+4+3x-1=27
combine like terms
4x+3=27
minus 3 both sides
4x=24
divide both sides by 4
x=6

sub back
QR=x+4
QR=6+4
QR=10

RS=3x-1
RS=3(6)-1
RS=18-1
RS=17

x=6
QR=10
RS=17

Solve the inequality 2x>30+5/4x

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x > 30+\frac{5}{4x} \\2x-\frac{5}{4x} > 30\\\frac{8x^2-5}{4x} > 30\\case~1\\if~x > 0\\8x^2-5 > 120x\\8x^2-120x > 5\\x^2-15x > \frac{5}{8} \\adding~(-\frac{15}{2} )^2~to~both~sides\\(x-\frac{15}{2} )^2 > \frac{5}{8}+\frac{225}{4} \\(x-\frac{15}{2} )^2 > \frac{455}{8} \\x-\frac{15}{2} < -\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\x < \frac{15}{2}-\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\or~x < 0\\rejected~as~x > 0$

$x-\frac{15}{2} > \sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\x > \frac{15}{2} +\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} }$

case~2

$if~x < 0\\8x^2-5 < 120x\\8x^2-120x < 5\\x^2-15x < \frac{5}{8} \\adding~(-\frac{15}{2} )^2\\(x-\frac{15}{2} )^2 < \frac{5}{8} +(-\frac{15}{2} )^2\\|x-\frac{15}{2} | < \frac{5+450}{8} \\-\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } < x-\frac{15}{2} < \sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\\frac{15}{2} -\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } < x < \frac{15}{2} +\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } \\but~x < 0\\7.5-\sqrt{\frac{455}{8} } < x < 0$

AC=(5x+12) and BD =8x? Can somebody help me to slove it

AleksAgata [21]

To solve this equation from the information given above, I ordered it 5x+12=8x. To solve, I subtracted 5x from each side, canceling the 5x to your left, leaving only the number 12. 8x minus 5x equals 3x. Take 3x and divide on both sides. 3x/3x cancels the 3, leaving 12/3 equals 4. Finally, x equals 4.
