Answer:

  (x, y) = (5, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  LP = x

  MP = 2y+3

  NP = y+3

  KP = 3x -8

  KP = MP, LP = NP

<u>Find</u>:

  x, y

<u>Solution</u>:

The given relations between the segment lengths let us write two equations:

  KP = MP

  3x -8 = 2y +3   ⇒   3x -2y -11 = 0   [eq1]

  LP = NP

  x = y +3   ⇒   x -y -3 = 0   [eq2]

__

Subtracting 3 times [eq2] from [eq1] gives ...

  (3x -2y -11) -3(x -y -3) = 0

  y -2 = 0 . . . . . . . . simplify

  y = 2 . . . . . . . . . . add 2

Substituting this value into [eq2] gives ...

  x = 2 + 3 = 5

The values of x and y are ...

  x = 5, y = 2

20 Points + Brainliest for the answer and Explanation!!!

Answer:

P+Q=5x^2+4

Q-P=-x^2-4x+16

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

P=3x^2+2x-6

Q=2x^2-2x+10

Calculation of P+Q:

P+Q=3x^2+2x-6+2x^2-2x+10

now, we can combine like terms

P+Q=3x^2+2x^2+2x-2x+10-6

P+Q=5x^2+0+4

P+Q=5x^2+4

Calculation of Q-P:

Q-P=2x^2-2x+10-(3x^2+2x-6)

Firstly, we will distribute negative sign

Q-P=2x^2-2x+10-3x^2-2x+6

now, we can combine like terms

Q-P=2x^2-3x^2-2x-2x+6+10

Q-P=-x^2-4x+16
