Answer:

<em>PT=30 units</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Line PQ which has a mid point at T.

PT = 3x + 9 and

TQ = 5x -5

To find:

PT = ? in simplified terms.

Solution:

First of all, let us recall that mid point on a line segment is a point that divides the line in two equal parts.

In other words:

If a point B is the mid point of line segment AC, then AB = BC.

Here, the point T is the midpoint of PQ.

i.e. PT = TQ

3x+9=5x-5\\\Rightarrow 3x-5x=-5-9\\\Rightarrow -2x=-14\\\Rightarrow x=7

Putting value of x in PT above:

PT = 3x+9 = 3 \times 7 +9 \\\Rightarrow \bold{PT=30\ units}

A washer and a dryer cost $770 combined. The washer costs $70 more than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?
vazorg [7]
Let w = washer and d = dryer:

w + d = $770,
but w = d + 70, replace w with d+70
(d+70) + d = 770
2d + 70 =770
2d = 770 -70 = 700
and d=$350, then w=350+70 = 420

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The number of houses built in Town B is 56.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in 2010, the number of houses built in Town A was 25 percent greater than the number of houses built in Town B.

Also, 70 houses were built in Town A during 210.

Let the number of houses built in Town B be 'x'.

So, according to the question;

Number of houses built in Town A = Number of houses built in Town B + 25% of the houses built in Town B

70 = x + (25\% \times x)

70 = x(1+0.25)

x=\frac{70}{1.25}

x = 56

Hence, the number of houses built in Town B is 56.
