Answer: QE = 10
Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, it's important to understand that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
This means that E is the midpoint of diagonal SQ.
So we can setup the equation x² + 9x = 4x + 6.
To solve this polynomial equation, set it equal to zero first.
So we have x² + 5x - 6 = 0 and we get (x + 6)(x - 1) = 0
when we factor the left side of the equation.
So this means that x = -6 or x = 1.
However, -6 will give us a negative length when we plug it in
to find QE so this will not work.
However, plugging 1 in will give us 10 as a length so QE = 10.
Answer:
Part A: The total is 57.58
Part B: 19.19 each
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: 15(3) +3.50(3)=55.50
55.50 plus the 3.75% tip (not really addition i dont know how to find a percentage so i looked that part up) but it come out to $57.58
Part B: 57.58 divided by 3 is $19.19 ( I do 3 because Maria and 2 more friends)
Hope it helps and that it is 100% correct dont come at me if something is wrong with my math
All you have to do is divide the numerator and the denominator by 3 and you get your answer which is 1/6
