<h3>Answer: QS is 37 units long</h3>
=========================================
Explanation:
PN = 24 and NR = 14 are pieces of the chord PR. The two pieces multiply to some value. At the same time, the other two pieces QN = 21 and NS = 2x-4 also multiply to that same value. In short, the chord pieces multiply to the same number. This is known as the intersecting chord theorem.
PN*NR = QN*NS
24*14 = 21*(2x-4)
336 = 42x-84
336+84 = 42x-84+84 .... add 84 to both sides
420 = 42x
42x = 420
42x/42 = 420/42 ...... divide both sides by 42
x = 10
We know that x = 10 so we can use it to find the length of NS
NS = 2x-4
NS = 2*10-4
NS = 20-4
NS = 16
Therefore,
QS = QN + NS
QS = 21 + 16
QS = 37
--------
note: as a check,
PN*NR = QN*NS
24*14 = 21*16
336 = 336
we get a true equation, so we have the proper values
Answer:
2400 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
600 minutes in 10 hours
600/5 = 120
120*20 = 2400 dollars
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
if it matters then simply further...
4 + \sqrt{4i} = 
The answer to this mathematical question would be "0.4x = 4.4". I simply subtracted 1.8x to both sides of the equation (following the subtraction property of equations) and then added 4.4 to both sides of the equation (following the addition property of equations). Thus, we arrive to the answer, 0.4x = 4.4.
