Answer:

The numerical length of RS is 22 units

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ Point S is on the line segment RT

→ <em>That means S divide RT into two parts RS and ST</em>

∴ RS + ST = RT

∵ RS = 4x - 10

∵ ST = 2x - 10

∵ RT = 4x - 4

→ <em>Substitute them in the statement above</em>

∴ 4x - 10 + 2x - 10 = 4x - 4

→ <em>Add the like terms in the left side</em>

∴ (4x + 2x) + (-10 + -10) = 4x - 4

∴ 6x + (-20) = 4x - 4

∴ 6x - 20 = 4x - 4

→ <em>Add 20 to both sides</em>

∴ 6x -20 + 20 = 4x - 4 + 20

∴ 6x = 4x + 16

→ <em>Subtract 4x from both sides</em>

∴ 6x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 16

∴ 2x = 16

→ <em>Divide both sides by 2 to find x</em>

∴ \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{16}{2}

∴ x = 8

→ <em>Substitute the value of x in Rs to find its length</em>

∵ RS = 4(8) - 10

∴ RS = 32 - 10

∴ RS = 22 units

The numerical length of RS is 22 units

M is between points C and Q. CM=17 and CQ=21. What is MQ?
katrin2010 [14]
Sometimes it helps to draw it out...

     (17)
C_______M_________Q
|___________________|
             21

therefore, CM + MQ = CQ
17 + MQ = 21
MQ = 21 - 17
MQ = 4 <===

a toy store marks down every toy by 15% in January. How much does a toy cost during January? Use p for the price in December.
satela [25.4K]

A toy cost 0.85p in January.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Mark down in January = 15%

Let,

Price in December = p

Mark down in January = 15% of price in December

Mark down in January = \frac{15}{100}*p

Mark down in January = 0.15p

Price of toy in January = Price in December - Mark down

Price of toy in January = p - 0.15p = 0.85p

A toy cost 0.85p in January.
