A= 2.5
b= 2
LM/ON= 15
LO/MN= 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion:
26.5/x = 17/58
Cross multiply and you get:
17x = 1537
x = 90.4
So the measure of PQ is 90.4
I would solve this by using elimination, because you have opposite coefficients, (7x and -7x)<span />
Get the unknown by itself: Divide both sides by -10: X≤10. Since you divided by a negative number the less than sign became a greater than sign. I hope that makes sense :)
