The correct answer is C) 71
If R is the midpoint of PS, then PR = RS -- (1)
Also, PR + RS = PS -- (2)
__________________
PR + RS = PS
7x + 23 + 13x - 19 = PS
__________________
Now, PR = PS
7x + 23 = 13x - 19
7x - 13x = -19 - 23
-6x = -42
x = -42/-6
x = 7
__________________
PS = 7x + 23 + 13x - 19
PS = 7(7) + 23 + 13(7) - 19
PS = 49 + 23 + 91 - 19
<u>PS </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u>4</u><u> </u>
Hope it helps!

For #2 you would count how many where the red dashed line is! Which is 3! Then you would count where the blue dashed line is! Which is 4! So then it would be 4/3(4 over 3) For the slope! Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
The expression becomes 3(x+5) = 3x+15
