Answer:

QS is 34

Step-by-step explanation:

We find x first. We set each side equal to each other to do so.

5x-3=21-x

6x=24

x=4

Next we find QS value. We add each side.

5x-3+21-x

4x+18

Then we plug in x to find numeric value.

4(4)+18

34

Answer:

QS is 34

Step-by-step explanation:

R is the midpoint of QS

So, QR= RS

(QR = 5x-3 and RS =21-x)

QR= RS

Plug in QR  and RS

5x-3=21-x

Add x on both sides

6x-3= 21

Add 3 on both sides

6x= 24

Divide by 6 on both sides

x= 4

QS= QR+RS

QS=5x-3+21-x

QS=4x+18

Plug in 4 for x

QS=4(4)+18=34

The price for 11 ballpoint pens is $11.77. Which of the following represents the same price per pen? A. 4 pens for $4.44 B. 5 pe
Harrizon [31]
First we need to know how much each pen costs.  So we take 11.77 and divide it by 11.  That gives us 1.07 per pen.  So answer choice A has 4 pens for 4.44, so we need to multiply 1.07 x 4.  That gives you 4.28, so we know that isn't the correct answer.  For option B, we need to multiply 1.07 x 5.  That is 5.35, so that also can't be the answer.  For C, we need to do 1.07 x 6, and that gives us 6.42.  So we know the correct answer is option C.
