QS would be 42. So the way i did it was I:

8x-51=3x-6

x=9

Plugged into both equations of QR and RS to then get the answer of 42

Answer:  The required length of QS is 42 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the point R is the midpoint of the line segment QS,

where QR= 8x-51 and RS = 3x-6.

We are to find the length of QS.

Since R is the midpoint of the segment QS, so we must have

QR=RS\\\\\Rightarrow 8x-51=3x-6\\\\\Rightarrow 8x-3x=51-6\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=45\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{45}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow x=9.

Therefore, the length of QS is given by

QS\\\\=QR+RS\\\\=8x-51+3x-6\\\\=11x-57\\\\=11\times9-57\\\\=99-57\\\\=42.

Thus, the required length of QS is 42 units.

Students planted 4(2x+3y) amount of trees on saturday and then 3(5x+4) amount of trees on Sunday. What is the total amount of tr
algol [13]
We have to add the amounts:

4(2x+3y) + 3(5x+4)

First, though, we have to distribute:

4*2x + 4*3y + 3*5x + 3*4
8x + 12y + 15x + 12

Now we just need to simplify:

23x + 12y + 12

The  students planted 23x + 12y + 12 trees total.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

924 teenagers

Step-by-step explanation:

154 / 500 ×3000

= 924

Since 154 teenagers out of 500 prefer action movies, you'll just divide them by their total number 500 multiplied by the other total number 3000 to get the others who prefer action movies.

trying the others too

sci- fi

116 / 500 × 3000

= 696

romance

109 / 500 × 3000

= 654

comedy

78 / 500 × 3000

= 468

drama

43 / 500 × 3000

= 258

putting all of them together should give u ur total number

924 + 696+ 654 + 468 +258

= 3000
