5 0

notice that, if Q is the midpoint of PR, that simply means that PQ = QR = 43.


\bf \boxed{P}\underset{\leftarrow 9x-31 \to }{\stackrel{\stackrel{\downarrow }{43}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}Q\stackrel{43}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}}\boxed{R}
\\\\\\
9x-31=43+43\implies 9x-31=86\implies 9x=117
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{117}{9}\implies x=13

What is the equation for this graph pls help me and pls make sure it’s right:))
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

y = 5x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First I found the slope by using the the definition that slope is rise/run so I saw that the y value went up from 4 to 9 which is 5 units and then the x value went up one in that same time. This means that the slope is 5/1. Then I found the y intercept by seeing where x = 0. On the graph you can see the line touches the y - axis at a value of 4 which means that the y - intercept is 4. Plugging these values into the y = mx + b equation you get y = 5x + 4.

What is the area of the triangle?<br> 9 4 12
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

  13.636

Step-by-step explanation:

The area can be found using Heron's formula:

  A = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))

where s=(a+b+c)/2.

For the given triangle, ...

  a=9, b=4, c=12, s=(9+4+12)/2 = 12.5

  A = √(12.5(3.5)(8.5)(0.5)) = √185.9375 ≈ 13.636

The area of the triangle is about 13.636 square units.

There are two consecutive positive even integers such that the square of the first is 364 more than five times the second. What
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two consecutive positive even integers such that the square of the first is 364 more than five times a second. What are the two numbers?

Two consecutive year positive integers are represented by

x and x + 1

First integer = x

Second integer = y

There are two consecutive positive even integers such that the square of the first is 364 more than five times a second.

This is represented mathematically as:

x² = 364 + 5(x + 1)

x² = 364 + 5x + 5

x² -5x -5 - 364

x² - 5x - 369
