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.

Problem 37

<h3>Answer: B. 4 & 1/4 gallons</h3>

-------------------

Work Shown:

The 3/4 and 1/2 add up to (3/4)+(1/2) = (3/4)+(2/4) = 5/4 = 1&1/4

The whole part 1 is then added to the other whole parts 1 and 2 to get 1+2+1 = 4

Overall, the grand total is 4 & 1/4

An alternative way is to convert each mixed number to a decimal to get 1&1/2 = 1+1/2 = 1+0.5 = 1.5 and 2&3/4 = 2+3/4 = 2+0.75 = 2.75

Add up those decimals 1.5+2.75 = 4.25

then convert that result to a mixed number: 4.25 = 4+0.25 = 4+1/4 = 4&1/4

================================================

Problem 38

<h3>Answer: C. Cubic feet</h3>

----------------

The units for volume follow the template "Cubic _____" where you'll write "feet", "inches", "centimeters" or whatever unit you are using in the blank.

Some other examples:

* cubic miles

* cubic meters

* cubic yards

Solve the quadratic equation 3x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0<br>Give your answers to 2 decimal places​
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

<h2>3x^2+2x−4=0</h2>

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions

−b±√b^2−4(ac)/2a

Substitute the values

a=3, b=2, and c=−4 into the quadratic formula and solve for x.

−2±√2^2−4⋅(3⋅−4)/2⋅3

Simplify.

x = −1±√13/3

The final answer is the combination of both solutions.

x= −1−√13/3,−1+√13/3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

x= −1−√13/3,−1+√13/3

<h3>Decimal Form:</h3>

x=0.86851709…,−1.53518375…

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope it is helpful......
