<u>Given</u>:
Given that the bases of the trapezoid are 21 and 27.
The midsegment of the trapezoid is 5x - 1.
We need to determine the value of x.
<u>Value of x:</u>
The value of x can be determined using the trapezoid midsegment theorem.
Applying the theorem, we have;

where b₁ and b₂ are the bases of the trapezoid.
Substituting Midsegment = 5x - 1, b₁ = 21 and b₂ = 27, we get;

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2, we have;

Simplifying, we have;

Adding both sides of the equation by 2, we get;

Dividing both sides of the equation by 10, we have;

Thus, the value of x is 5.
1. Calculate the market share that you have (7%)
2. Calculate what 10% of the market share would be
3. Subtract 10% from 7%
You can use properties to solve equations with variables on both side by simplifying get the variable on one side. solve using inverse operations then check to see if it fits in right .
Answer:
<h3>132°</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
If line PS has midpoint a Q and ray QR, then line PQS will be a straight line and <PQR + <RQS = 180 (sum of angle on a straight line).
Given
<PQR = 3x-6
<RQS = x+ 2
To get x, we will use the relationship above;
3x-6+x+2 = 180
4x-4 = 180
add 4 to both sides
4x-4+4 = 180+4
4x = 184
x = 184/4
x = 46
Since <PQR = 3x-6, we will substitute the value of x into the formula;
<PQR = 3x-6
<PQR = 3(46)-6
<PQR = 138-6
<PQR = 132°
Hence the size of angle PQR is 132°
