Question

Can someone please please answer this and explain it? my math teacher didn’t :( will give brainliest points for explanation!!! (Ignore work above that was for a different question)

Answer 1

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.
