First use distrib. property of mult.
9(2x-8) = 5x - 7 so
18x - 72 = 5x -7
18x-5x = -7+72
13x = 65
13/13x = 65/13
x = 5
Check Ans: 18*5 -72 = 5*5-7
18 = 18 √

The 2 smallest lengths in a triangle have to add up to be greater that the longest side of the triangle. In this case, the longest side is 20. The 2 smallest sides are 5 and 10. 5+10=15, but 15<20. This is why these 3 lengths can’t create a triangle.

PQR is an isosceles triangle in which PQ = PR

otez555 [7]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Congruent triangles are triangles with the same three sides and same three angles.

There many ways to determine if 2 triangles are congruent.

One of them is ASA or Angle, Side, Angle and it means that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side on the other triangle, they are congruent.

In this case, angle MRQ and angle NQR are equal. The included side of both triangles are the same QR, so it can be concluded that triangle QNR is congruent to triangle RMQ.

The image in the attachment shows the angles and their included side, which are colored.
