Given the median line QR and trapezoid MNOP, what is the value of x? MN=17 QR=x+12 OP=5x-14

Answer:
x = 7
MN (first base) = 17 units
OP (second base) = 21 units
QR (median) = 19 units

Explanation:
In a trapezium, the length of the median is equal to half the sum of the two bases.

From the given, we have:
MN (first base) = 17 units
OP (second base) = 5x - 14 units
QR (median) = x + 12 units

Applying the above rule:
median = 0.5 (first base + second base)
x + 12 = 0.5 (17+5x-14)
2(x+12) = 17+5x-14
2x + 24 = 3 + 5x
24-3 = 5x-2x
21 = 3x
x = $\frac{21}{3}$
x = 7

Based on the above, the lengths would be:
MN (first base) = 17 units
OP (second base) = 5x - 14 = 5(7) - 14 = 21 units
QR (median) = x + 12 = 7 + 12 = 19 units

Hope this helps :)

x = 7.

The person that answered is correct, if you got the answer wrong that means you didn't look hard enough for the answer in their answer.

Answer: x = 10

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

The two blue chords are equally distant from the center. This is shown by the segments with single tick marks. These segments are 3.5 units long.

The bottom blue chord is 10 units long because half of it is 5 units.

Since the chords are the same distance away from the center, this means that the blue chords are equal in length. Both blue chords are 10 units long.

Which of the following best describes the set of all numbers of the form a+bi where a and b are any real numbers and i equals sq

Andrei [34K]

<h3>Answer: B) Complex numbers</h3>

Complex numbers are always in the form a+bi with 'a' and 'b' as real numbers.

If b = 0 and 'a' is nonzero, then a+bi = a+0i = a which is strictly a real number

If a = 0 and b is nonzero, then a+bi = 0+bi = bi indicating that the number is now purely imaginary

On monday ,jan made wgitmddrawls of $25,$45 and $75 from her savings account .On the sane day, het twin sister lola made withdra

Dafna11 [192]

Part (a):
We will assume that the total amount is Jan's saving account is "m"
Now, "withdrawal" means that she took money from her account, which means that the amount of money in her account decreased by the amount she withdrew.
Sum of negative integers to show her withdrawals = -25$ - 45$ - 75$
Amount of money remaining in her account = m - 145$
The amount of money Jan withdrew = 25$ + 45$ + 75$ = 145$

Part (b):
We will assume that the total amount is Lola's saving account is "n"
Now, "withdrawal" means that she took money from her account, which means that the amount of money in her account decreased by the amount she withdrew.
Sum of negative integers to show her withdrawals = -35$ - 55$ - 65$
Amount of money remaining in her account = n - 155$
The amount of money Lola withdrew = 35$ + 55$ + 65$ = 155$
