Answer:

QS = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since TS is parallel to PR and intersects the other 2 sides then it divides those sides proportionally, that is

$\frac{QT}{TP}$ = $\frac{QS}{SR}$ , substitute values

$\frac{25}{15}$ = $\frac{QS}{12}$ ( cross- multiply )

15QS = 300 ( divide both sides by 15 )

QS = 20

The difference between two integers is 2. The larger integer is 11 less than twice the smaller. Find the smaller integer.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The smaller integer (y) is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

$x - y = 2 = > y = x - 2\\ x = 2y - 11 \\ x = 2(x - 2) - 11 \\ x = 2x - 4 - 11 \\ x = 2x - 15 \\ 3x = 15 \\ x = 5 \\ \\ x - y = 2 \\ (5) - y = 2 \\ - y = - 3 \\ y = 3$

Therefore, the smaller integer, represented by y, is equal to 3.
