Answer:
QR = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
PR = PQ + QR
PR = x + 19
PQ = 9
So now put what you know in the equation above.
PR = 9 + 2x + 19
PR also equals x + 19
so
x + 19 = 9 + 2x + 19
x + 19 = 2x + 28
19 - 28 + x = 2x
-9 + x = 2x
-9 = 2x - x
-9 = x
===================
QR = 2x + 19
QR = 2*-9 + 19
QR = -18 + 19
QR = 1
This really is kind of a nasty question. You don't expect to get a minus number of x.
Answer:
The length is 12 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by:
V=LBH
It was given that; the rectangular prism has a volume of 600 cubic inches.
The height of the prism is 5 inches and the width is 10 inches.
We want to find the length of the rectangular prism.
We substitute V=600, H=5,and W=10 into the formula:
600=5×10×L
600=20L
You work it backwards.
-- If there were 4 children and each child got 4 pieces,
then the children got (4 x 4) = 16 pieces altogether.
-- That's what was left after he took 2 pieces for himself.
So he started with (16 + 2) = <em>18 pieces</em>.
Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 2x-15 to both sides to get 2x=-12 or x = -6.
