Set up a ratio of matching sides:

4/6 = x/5

Cross multiply

6x = 20

Divide both sides by 6

X = 3 1/3

Given: PS=RT, PQ=ST<br> Prove: QS=RS

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

I) Eq(1) reason: sum of segments of a straight line

II) Eq(2) reason: Given PQ = ST & PS = RT

III) Eq(3) reason: sum of segments of a straight line

IV) Eq(4) reason: Same value on right hand sides of eq(2) and eq(3) demands that we must equate their respective left hand sides

V) Eq(5) reason: Usage of collection of like terms and subtraction provided this equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that;

PS = RT and that PQ = ST

Now, we want to prove that QS = RS.

From the diagram, we can see that from concept of sum of segments of a straight line we can deduce that;

PQ + QS = PS - - - - (eq 1)

Now, from earlier we saw that PQ = ST & PS = RT

Thus putting ST for PQ & PS for RT in eq 1,we have;

ST + QS = RT - - - - (eq 2)

Again, from the line diagram, we can see that from concept of sum of segments of a straight line we can deduce that;

RS + ST = RT - - - - -(eq 3)

From eq(2) & eq(3) we can see that both left hand sides is equal to RT.

Thus, we can equate both left hand sides with each other to give;

ST + QS = RS + ST - - - (eq 4)

Subtracting ST from both sides gives;

ST - ST + QS = RS + ST - ST

This gives;

QS = RS - - - - (eq 5)

Thus;

QS = RS

On the following number line, two rational numbers are graphed.Represent the two numbers as fractions (or mixed numbers) in lowe

nordsb [41]

The first graphed rational number is at the middle of -2 and -1, thus the number represented is $-1 \frac{1}{2}$

The second graphed number is five out of six places from from 0 to 1, thus the number graphed is $0+ \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$

The difference between the two numbers can be represented as
$-1 \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{6}$
or
$\frac{5}{6} -(-1 \frac{1}{2} )= \frac{5}{6} +1 \frac{1}{2}$

To find the difference,

$-1 \frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{6} \\ \\ =-1 \frac{3+5}{6} \\ \\ =-1 \frac{8}{6} =-2 \frac{2}{6} \\ \\ =-2 \frac{1}{3}$

Also,

$\frac{5}{6} +1 \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ =1 \frac{5+3}{6} \\ \\ =1 \frac{8}{6} =2 \frac{2}{6} \\ \\ =2 \frac{1}{6}$
