X = the number of laps Joe has ran.
x + x + x + 6 = 222
3x = 216
x = 72
Jimmy ran 72 laps.
Joe ran 72 laps.
Sally ran 78 laps.
now, let's recall the rational root test, check your textbook on it.
so p = 18 and q = 1
so all possible roots will come from the factors of ±p/q
now, to make it a bit short, the factors are loosely, ±3, ±2, ±9, ±1, ±6.
recall that, a root will give us a remainder of 0.
let us use +3.

well, that one worked... now, using the rational root test, our p = 6, q = 1.
so the factors from ±p/q are ±3, ±2, ±1
let's use 3 again
and of course, we can factor x²-x-2 to (x-2)(x+1).
(x-3)(x-3)(x-2)(x+1).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As we move from (0, 3) to (9, 0), we see x increasing by 9. This is the 'run.'
At the same time, we see y decreasing by 3. This is the 'rise.'
The slope of this line (graph) is m = rise / run = -3/9, or m = -1/3
Since we witness a decrease in y as we move from the first point to the second, we immediately suspect that the slope is negative.
Answer: QN = 12
Step-by-step explanation: This quadrilateral is a paralelogram because its 2 opposite sides (NP and MQ) are parallel and the other 2 (MN and PQ) are congruent.
In paralelogram, diagonals bisect each other, which means QR = RN.
If QR = RN:
QR = 6
Then,
QN = QR + RN
QN = 6 + 6
QN = 12
<u>The diagonal QN of quadrilateral MNPQ is </u><u>QN = 12</u><u>.</u>
