Answer:

35.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

x + x + 3 + x + 5 = 99.5

3x + 8 = 99.5

3x = 91.5

x = 30.5

Largest side = (x+5)

30.5 + 5 = 35.5 feet

There are 40 boys in a computer club. The ratio of girls to boys is 2 to 5. How many girls are in the club?

Mandarinka [93]

Set up a proportion. 2/5 = x/40
to solve the equation first cross multiply.
x*5=40*2
x*5=80
now divide both sides by 5, 80 divided by 5 is equal to 16.
so the number of girls in the computer lab is 16.

Q is the midpoint of line segment PR. PR=9x-31 and QR=43 ; find x

bulgar [2K]

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

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