Answer:

a) 7a/8; b) 5a/8  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AP = 2PQ = 2QB

Calculations:

1. A to the midpoint of QB

        a = AP + PQ + QB

If 2PQ = 2QB.

    PQ = QB and

    AP = 2PQ

∴      a = 2PQ + 2PQ = 4PQ

    PQ = a/4

    AP = 2PQ = a/2

Let M be the midpoint of QB.

AM = AP + PQ + QM

     = a/2 + a/4 + a/8

     = 7a/8

2. Midpoints of AP and QB

Let N be the midpoint of AP

NM = NP + PQ + QM

      = a/4 +a/4 + a/8 =

      = 5a/8

Choose the graph which represents the solution to the inequality:<br> 3x + 8 ≥ 11
Mashutka [201]

The solution of the inequality is x ≥ 1.

Solution:

Given inequality:

3 x+8 \geq 11

To find the solution of the inequality:

3 x+8 \geq 11

Subtract 8 from both sides.

3 x+8-8 \geq 11-8

3 x \geq 3

Divide by 3 on both sides.

$\frac{3 x}{3} \geq \frac{3}{3}

On simplifying this, we get

x \geq 1

The solution of the inequality is x ≥ 1.

The graph of the solution is attached below.

Jaidee spent half of her weekly allowance on clothes. To earn more money her parents let her wash a dog for $9. What is her week
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to subtract the amount she earned from walking the dog ($9.00) from the end total ($16.00). This leaves us with $7.00.

Since she spent exactly<em> </em><em>half</em> of her weekly allowance, we must multiply the remaining $7.00 by 2. This leaves us with our final answer of $14.00.
