<h3>Answer:  RS = 16</h3>

========================================

Explanation:

The ratio QR : RS : ST  is equal to 1 : 4 : 5

This means we have the following three equations

  • QR = x
  • RS = 4x
  • ST = 5x

For some positive number x.

Note the ratio QR : RS : ST turns into x : 4x : 5x, which reduces to 1 : 4 : 5 when we divide all three parts by x .

Along with those three equations, we'll also use QT = 40 as well.

Now turn to the segment addition postulate. Plug in the equations mentioned earlier, and solve for x .

QT = QR + RS + ST

40 = x+4x+5x

40 = 10x

10x = 40

x = 40/10

x = 4

So we know that

QR = x = 4

RS = 4x = 4*4 = 16

ST = 5x = 5*4 = 20

-----------

As a check,

QR + RS + ST = 4 + 16 + 20 = 40

which is the same as QT = 40

Therefore, we've confirmed that QR + RS + ST = QT is correct and we've confirmed our answers.

A line passes through (-7,-5) and (-5,4). Write an equation for the line in point-slope form. Rewrite the equation in standard f
rewona [7]
The equation:
y - y 1 =  ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2- x1) * ( x - x1 )
y - ( - 5 ) = ( 4 + 5 ) / ( - 5 + 7 ) * ( x - ( - 7 ) )
y + 5 = 9/2 ( x + 7 )
y + 5 = 9/2 x + 63 /2  / * 2
2 y + 10 = 9 x + 63
- 9 x + 2 x = 53
Answer:
C ) y + 5 = 9/2 ( x + 7 ) ;   - 9 x + 2 y = 53

Solve 2(a + 7) = 5a - 13
timurjin [86]

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a + 7) = 5a - 13

We want to bring a to one side, I will choose to bring it to the right

First, expand the bracket by multiplying 2 with a + 7

2a + 14 = 5a - 13

Bring the -13 to the left by adding 13 to both sides

2a + 14 + 13 = 5a - 13 + 13

Simplify

2a + 27 = 5a

Bring the 2a to the right by subtracting 2a from both sides

2a - 2a + 27 = 5a - 2a

Simplify

27 = 5a - 2a

27 = 3a

Bring the 3 to the left by dividing both sides by 3

27÷3 = a

Simplify

a = 9

My name is Ann [436]
A is the correct answer.......

Here is the work shown:

x^2-x-20

A is the correct answer because when using the distributive property it is the only example that results in x^2-x-20.

(x+4)(x-5)

x*x=x^2, x*-5=-5x, 4*x=4x, 4*-5=-20. Now combine all alike terms for your final answer. x^2-x-20..
