If R is between Q and S then QR+RS=QS
given
QR=x+4
RS=3x-1
and QS=27
x+4+3x-1=27
combine like terms
4x+3=27
minus 3 both sides
4x=24
divide both sides by 4
x=6
sub back
QR=x+4
QR=6+4
QR=10
RS=3x-1
RS=3(6)-1
RS=18-1
RS=17
x=6
QR=10
RS=17
B²-4ac?
<span>5x²+7x-6 = 0 </span>
<span>the form is ax²+bx+c = 0 </span>
<span>a=5, b=7, c=-6 </span>
<span>The discriminant D = b²-4ac </span>
<span>= 7² - 4(5)(-6) = 49 + 120 </span>
<span>= 169 </span>
There are 26 letters with 5 vowels. That is a 5/26 chance of randomly picking a vowel. Hope this is helpful!
