Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Statements </u> <u> Reasons</u>
1) QS =42 Given
2) QR + RS = QS Segment Addition Postulate
3) (x + 3) + 2x = 42 Substitution Property
4) 3x + 3 = 42 Simplify
5) 3x = 39 Subtraction Property of Equality
6) x=13 Division Property of Equality
Explanation:
We have given QS=42. We have to prove that x=13
We will use Segment Addition Postulate which states that given 2 points Q and S, a third point R lies on the line segment QS if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation QR + RS = QS.
Then we will substitute the values in the defined postulate.
where QR= x+3
RS=2x
QS=42
QR+RS=QS
(x+3)+2x= 42
Now simplify the expression by opening the brackets.
x+3+2x=42
3x+3=42
Now subtract 3 from both sides.
3x+3-3=42-3
3x=39
divide both sides by 3.
3x/3 =39/3
x=13..
The answer is 9 sorry if this is wrong
4.6 turned into a fraction is 4 6/10= 4 3/5
4.6= 4 3/5.
4 3/5 is simplified.
I’m a little confused do you have a picture I could solve for cos then
