Answer:
The sum of all the sides to this quadrilateral will equal a total of 20 inches, so you set up the equation:
2 + 2x + 7 + x + 2 = 20
Solve for x by combining like terms;
(2 + 7 + 2) + (2x + x) = 20
Which simplifies to;
11 + 3x = 20
Get rid of constants;
-11 -11
3x = 9
Isolate x by getting rid of it's coefficient;
/3 /3
<u>x = 3</u>
Now, to find the length of PQ, we plug in the value of x(3) into the equation that contains the line PQ.
x + 2
<u>3</u> + 2
= <u>5 inches.</u>
Now, to find the length of RS, we plug in the value of x(3) into the equation that contains the line RS.
2x
2(3)
= <u>6 inches.</u>

Answer:
y - x = - 2 b
Step-by-step explanation:
Given-
3 x + 2 y = 5 a + b...................(i)
4 x - 3 y = a + 7 b.....................(ii)
<em><u>Multiply by 3 and 2 in equation (i) & (ii) respectively-</u></em>
<em><u>Add equation (iii) & (iv)-</u></em>
9 x + 6 y = 15 a + 3 a...................(iii)
<u>8 x - 6 y = 2 a + 14 b</u> ...................(iv)
17 x = 17 a + 17 b
<u>x = a + b</u>
Put x = a + b in equation (i)-
<em>2 y = 5 a + b - 3 a - 3 b</em>
<em>2 y = 2 a - 2 b</em>
<u>y = a - b </u>
<em>∴ y - x = a - b - ( a + b )</em>
<em>y - x = a - b - a - b</em>
y - x = - 2 b
