Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the midsegment theorem we can conclude that

QR = \frac{1}{2} NP

Using QR = 3x + 2 and NP = 2x + 16, then

3x + 2 = \frac{1}{2}(2x + 16) = x + 8 ( subtract x from both sides )

2x + 2 = 8  ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

As a check

QR = 3x + 2 = 3(3) + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11

NP = 2x + 16 = 2(3) + 16 = 6 + 16 = 22

Thus QR is one half NP is confirmed

Answer:

<h2>C.  QR=1/2NP  ;  x=3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

QR=1/2NP ⇔ NP=2QR ⇔ 2x+16=2(3x+2) ⇔ 2x+16=6x+4 ⇔ 12=4x ⇔ x=3

mark ordere wome balloons for a party that she is having.The balloons cost $4.50 each and there is a service fee of $12.The tota
ohaa [14]
A general equation to use for this situation is y = mx + b.

For this question, we can assume that y is total cost, m is cost per balloon, x is the amount of balloons, and b as the service fee; so we can set the equation up:

y = (4.50)x + 12

And we can further plug in the total cost to find the number of balloons purchased for the party:

79.50 = (4.50)x + 12

Now we can solve for x (number of balloons):

67.50 = (4.50)x

x = 15

The total number of balloons purchased for the party is 15.

Which of the following CANNOT be given the lengths of the sides of a triangle?
Katena32 [7]

The sides of a triangle must satisfy the triangle inequality, which states the sum of the lengths of any two sides is strictly greater than the length of the remaining side.  

We really only have to check if the sum of the two smaller sides exceeds the largest side.

A. 5+6>7, ok

B. 6+6>10, ok

C. 7+7=14 Not ok, this is a degenerate triangle not a real triangle

D. 4+6>8 ok
