Answer:
QC - PB = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given PQ is parallel to BC then it divides the sides proportionally, that is
=
=
=
, then
=
( cross- multiply )
8PB = 5QC → *
Given PB + QC = 26 , then
PB = 26 - QC
Substitute into *
8(26 - QC) = 5QC ← distribute left side
208 - 8QC = 5QC ( subtract 5QC from both sides )
208 - 13QC = 0 ( subtract 208 from both sides )
- 13QC = - 208 ( divide both sides by - 13 )
QC = 16
Thus PB = 26 - QC = 26 - 16 = 10
QC - PB = 16 - 10 = 6

I believe I've seen this question before. If the ratio of dolls to teddy bears is 9:3 then for every 9 dolls you have 3 teddy bears.
So, since we have 240 dolls and a 9:3 ratio to teddy bears, all we have to do is take how many dolls we have (240) and divide it by 3 to see how many teddy bears we have.
So:
240 ÷ 3 = 80
If your ratio is 9:3, then 80 is your answer.

Answer:
x = -1, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the equation. (It's a difference of squares, so we know the form will be (a-b)(a+b).)

Test this by FOILing it out, if you're unsure. This is something it can be good to memorize!
Set it equal to 0.

Separate the two parenthetical expressions by the Zero Product Property.

Solve for x!
