Answer:

x = 31.4

PQ = 58.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion:

SQ/QP = ST/PR

Substitute in the values they give you:

\frac{x-9}{x-9+x+5}  = \frac{8}{21}

\frac{x - 9}{2x - 4} = \frac{8}{21}

21x - 189 = 16x - 32\\5x = 157\\x = 31.4

This means that PQ = 2x - 4 = 2(31.4) - 4 = 62.8-4 = 58.8

Answer:

x = 15, PQ = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

x+13/9 = 21/x-9

x^2+4x−117=168

x^2+4x−285=0

(x−15)(x+19)=0

x=15

it cannot be a negative number so x cannot be -19

PQ= x+13

15+13=26

3. NASA launched the Voyager spacecraft with a mission to observe Jupiter and Saturn. In 1990,
makkiz [27]

The linear function that calculates the expected distance from the sun of the Voyager-2 spacecraft in x years after 1990 is given by:

y = 3.3x + 30.6.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

In this problem, we have that the distance increases 33 AU each 10 years, hence the slope is given by:

m = 33/10 = 3.3.

Hence:

y = 3.3x + b.

When x = 28, y = 123, hence we use it to find b as follows:

123 = 3.3(28) + b

b = 30.6.

Hence equation to calculate the expected distance from the sun of the Voyager-2 spacecraft in x years after 1990 is given by:

y = 3.3x + 30.6.
