Answer: 44
Step-by-step explanation:
we will find RN and NQ, then add together to give us RQ.
To find RN;
RP= 17 PN = 15 and RN =?
using pythagoras theorem,
adj^2 = hyp^2 - opp^2
RN^2 = RP^2 - PN^2
?^2 = 17^2 - 15^2
?^2 = 17^2 - 15^2
?^2 = 289 - 225
?^2 = 64
? = √64
? = 8
RN=8
To find NQ,
PN = 15 PQ=39 and NQ=?
using pythagoras theorem
NQ^2 = PQ^2 - PN^2
?^2 = 39^2 - 15^2
?^2 = 1521 - 225
?^2 = 1296
? = √1296
? = 36
NQ= 36
RQ = RN + NQ
RQ= 8 + 36
RQ=44
Linear functions have to have the same slope between any 2 points
find the slope betwen them
slope betwen 2 points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
(y1-y1)/(x2-x1)
given
(1,12) and (3,9)
slope=(9-12)/(3-1)=-3/2
if we wanted to chek furthere, we check (3,9) and (5,6) and fnd that the slope is also -3/2
so
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yint
y=-3/2x+b
find b
if x=1 then y=12
12=-3/2+b
add 3/2 both sides
12+3/2=b
13+1/2=b
26/2+1/2=b
27/2=b
y=-3/2x+27/2
try them
we have 2 x values
7 and 3
input them and see their outputs
for x=7
y=-3/2(7)+27/2
y=-21/2+27/2
y=6/2
y=3
(7,3) is a valid point
for x=3
hold a second, we already have a x=3
it is (3,9)
none of them
answer is (7,3)
Perimeter of rectangle=66
length of rectangle=L
width of rectangle=w
P of a rect.= 2(length)+ 2(width)
66= 2L+2w
if the length is 7in more than the width, then
L=7+w
Now we will substitute 7+w in for L. Here is our new equation:
66=2(7+w) + 2w
Solve for w
66=14+2w+2w
66=14+4w
52=4w
w=13
L=7+13, so L=20
I hooe this is explained well enough
Answer:

b = (T - a - c - d) / 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let T be the total number of points required to advance.
a, c and d are points scored in the local matches, and b is the number of points scored in the district match. If b is worth 3 times as much as the other matches, the total number of points is given by:

Isolate b in order to find out how many points they need in the district match:

They need to score (T - a - c - d)/3, in the district match in order to win.
Simplify it to 2x-4=8x-4
-6x=0
x=0
not sure if that counts as no solution or single solution though...
