17. RQ is the same as PS.
PS = -1 + 4x
RQ = 3x + 3
-1 + 4x = 3x + 3
4x = 3x + 4
x = 4
Now plug that into RQ.
3(4) + 3 = RQ
15 = RQ
18. Angles G and E are equal to each other.
G = 5x - 9
E = 3x + 11
5x - 9 = 3x + 11
5x = 3x + 20
2x = 20
x = 10
Plug that x into G.
5(10) - 9
41 = G
19. TE and EV are equal to each other.
TE = 4 + 2x
EV = 4x - 4
4 + 2x = 4x - 4
2x = 4x - 8
-2x = -8
x = 4
Plug that into TE.
4 + 2(4)
12 = TE
20. DB and BF are equal.
DB = 5x - 1
BF = 5 + 3x
5x - 1 = 5 + 3x
5x = 6 + 3x
2x = 6
x = 3
Plug that into DB.
5(3) - 1
14 = DB
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:

now substitute x for -1

now solve


there is your answer! hope this helps! :)
Inverse relationships are of the form xy=k or if you prefer y=k/x so to find the constant we can say:
18(0.25)=k=4.5
So you could say: IR=4.5 or I=4.5/R
The old photocopier can make x manuals in an hour. The new photocopier can make 4x. Combined, they made 5x manuals in an hour.
In one hour they can make 1/28 of the manuals.
1/(28*5)=1/140 is the rate.
The new photocopier can make all the manuals in 4/140 or 35 hours.
The old one can make them in 140 hours.
The cost to cover the cirular region with mud is about $2940
<h3>How to calculate
area?</h3>
The circumference of the circular region is about 157 feet. Hence:
circumference = 2π * radius
157 = 2π * radius
Radius = 78.5 / π
The area is given as:
Area = π * radius² = π(78.5 / π)² = 1961.5 ft²
Cost = $1.5 * 1961.5 = $2940
The cost to cover the cirular region with mud is about $2940
