X=3 and y=-5/2. Here is why, when we do 7x+5x that gives us 12x. -2y+2y=0 and then we have 16 plus 20 which gives us 36. Now we gotta isolate x which right now we have 12x=36. Therefore divide by 12 to get x alone, which 36 divided by 12 is equal to 3. X=3. Plug it back into the equation, 7(3)=21 plus 2y=16. Subtract 21 from both sides 16-21 is equal to -5. Then 2y=-5 divide by 2 on both sides you will have -5/2=y or y=-5/2. Hope this helps!

Tim answered all the questions on his math test but got 10 answers wrong. He received 4 points for every correct answer, and the

charle [14.2K]

4x = 76
Where x is how many awnsers he got correct and 4 how many points each correct question awnsered.

Now you just have to isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by 4

4x/4 = 76/4
x = 19

So he got 19 questions right and 10 awnsers wrong. In total there were 29 questions on his test

Points S,U, and T are the midpoints of the sides of PQR. Which statements are correct ? 1/2QP=UT 1/2TS=RQ SU=PR SU||RP UT=RP

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2} QP = UT$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN : In ΔPQR

S is the mid point of QP

U is the mid point of PR

T is the mid point of QR

Solution :

i) is true i.e $\frac{1}{2} QP = UT$

Refer the attached file

By mid segment theorem i.e. In a triangle, the line joining the midpoints of any two sides will be parallel to the third side and that same line joining the midpoints is also half of length of third side .

UT is the line joining the two mid points . So, by theorem given above UT is parallel to PQ and 1/2QP=UT.

So, (i) statement is true i.e. $\frac{1}{2} QP = UT$
