Answer:

x=16 y=38

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=54.......equation 1

x=y-22........ equation 2

substitute

y-22+y=54

2y-22=54

2y=54+22

2y=76

y=76/2

y=38''

x=y-22

x=38-22

x=16''

lions [1.4K]

Where is the table,but this is what i did without the table .
first added all the numbers up and got 260
then i put each color and the total in fraction form
then i simplified:
yellow would be: 50/260=5/26
red would be: 45/260=9/52
blue would be: 65/260=13/52
orange would be: 40/260=4/26
green would be: 60/260=6/26

If M is the midpoint of PQ and X is the midpoint of PM then PX = a PQ Which statement is True? a is equal to 1 a is equal to 1/2

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

D. a is equal to $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that segment PQ is 8 units, so that its midpoint M is at 4 units to both P and Q.

Given that X is the midpoint of PM, this implies that X is at 2 units to both P and M.

Then;

PX = aPQ

⇒ = a x 8

= 8a

Therefore, a must be equal to $\frac{1}{4}$ , so that;

PX = 8a

= 8 x $\frac{1}{4}$

= 2 units

Thus, a is equal to $\frac{1}{4}$ is the correct option.
