Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is AP, the common difference is same for any term:

(4x - 2) - (x + 1) = (6x - 3) - (4x - 2)
3x - 3 = 2x -1
3x - 2x = 3 - 1
x= 2

The first 3 terms are:

3, 6, 9

Since the last term is 18, it means this AP has 6 terms:

{3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18}

Answer: as we need to find the value of x only, it is = 2

K is the midpoint of PQ, P has

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Coordinates of Q $(x_2,y_2) \:are\: \mathbf{(7,16)}$

Option D is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

K is the midpoint of PQ

Coordinates of P = (-9,-4)

Coordinates of K = (-1,6)

We need to find coordinates of Q $(x_2,y_2)$

We will use the formula of midpoint: $Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

We are given midpoint K and $x_1,y_1$ the coordinates of P we need to find $x_2,y_2$ the coordinates of Q.

$Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})\\(-1,6)=(\frac{-9+x_2}{2},\frac{-4+y_2}{2})\\$

Now, we can write

$-1=\frac{-9+x_2}{2}, 6=\frac{-4+y_2}{2}\\Simplifying:\\-2=-9+x_2\:,\: 12=-4+y_2\\-2+9=x_2\:,\: 12+4=+y_2\\x_2=7\:,\:y_2=16$

So, we get coordinates of Q $(x_2,y_2) \:are\: \mathbf{(7,16)}$

Option D is correct option.

Henry ran five races, each of which was a different positive integer number of

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of miles on Henry's longest race.

We have been given that Henry ran five races, each of which was a different positive integer number of miles.

We can set an equation for the average of races as:

$\frac{\text{The sum distances of 5 races}}{5}=4$

As distance covered in each race is a different positive integer, so let his first four races be 1, 2, 3, 4.

Now let us substitute the distances of 5 races as:

$\frac{1+2+3+4+x}{5}=4$

$\frac{10+x}{5}=4$

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 5.

$\frac{10+x}{5}*5=4*5$

$10+x=20$

Let us subtract 10 from both sides of our equation.

$10-10+x=20-10$

$x=10$

Therefore, the maximum possible distance of Henry's longest race is 10 miles.
