Line l bisects PQ at point M. Find value of X

Mathematics

Answer:

x = $\frac{18}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since l bisects PQ at M then M is the midpoint of PQ, hence

PM = MQ, that is

5x - 7 = 11 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )

7x - 7 = 11 ( add 7 to both sides )

7x = 18 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = $\frac{18}{7}$

Michael can type 4 pages of his term paper in 30 minutes. How long will it take him to type the paper if it has 14 pages?

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

105 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Michael can type 4 pages of his term paper in 30 minutes

using proportion

Find out how long will it take him to type the paper if it has 14 pages

$\frac{30}{4}\frac{min}{pages}=\frac{x}{14}\frac{min}{pages}\\\\x=30*14/4\\ \\x=105\ min$

How sad. You were going along so nicely there, with a fascinating problem
that would be fun to work on, and then you suddenly fell off over the edge.

"Which of these ..." always means "Here's a list of choices. Pick out the
correct answer from the list." So we know that there was a list of choices
right there, where you copied the question from. But when you finished
copying the question and reached the list of choices, you stopped there,
never copied the list, and went away to do something else instead.

Without that list, there's no way for us to answer the question "Which of these...".

If PM = 2x - 5, PN = 6x, and MN = 5x + 4, what is the value of x?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The required value of x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For better understanding of the solution, see the attached figure :

The given three points are collinear to each other and the point P lies somewhere between the end points of the line MN

So, to find the value of x we can use the relation : Sum of Mid segments PM and PN is equal to complete length of the line segment MN

⇒ PN + PM = MN

⇒ 6·x + 2·x - 5 = 5·x + 4

⇒ 8·x - 5·x = 4 + 5

⇒ 3·x = 9

⇒ x = 3

Hence, The required value of x = 3

Evaluate the expression 4y^2 -a if x = 2, y = -3, and a =6

Vika [28.1K]

The expression is telling you to proceed as follows:

Pick some number $y$
Pick some number $a$
Compute the square of $y$
Multiply it by 4
Subtract $a$ from this result.

So, first of all, there's no point in fixing $x = 2$ , because x doesn't appear in the expression. As for the evaluation, let's follow the aforementioned steps with fixed values:

Pick some number $y$

Pick $y=-3$
Pick $a=6$
Compute $y^2 = (-3)^2 = 9$
Multiply it by 4: $9 \cdot 4 = 36$
Subtract $6$ from this result: $36-6=30$
