The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

If R is the midpoint of QS, RS=2x-4, ST = 4x-1 and RT = 8x-43, find QS.

Answer: QS = 68 units

Step-by-step explanation: The figure below shows a line segment QT.

To determine QS, first, determine value of x:

RT = RS + ST

8x-43=2x-4+4x-1

8x-43=6x-5

2x = 38

x = 19

Now, we determine QS:

Midpoint is a point dividing a line segment in two equal parts.

Then, QR = RS.

QS = QR + RS

QS = 2RS

QS=2(2x-4)

QS=4x-8

Substituting x = 19:

QS=4.19-8

QS = 68

<u>The segment QS is 68 units.</u>

Answer: x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I have no idea what the actual answer is, as you didn't ask a question. So i'm assuming that you want the value of x.

Step 1: Draw a line containing all the points

R is in between point Q and point S, while T is last, based on alphabetical order.

Illustration:

         2x - 4   Tx - 1

<u>Q       R       S       T</u>

             8x - 43

Step 2: Find T's value

To find t, create the substitution equation RS + ST = RT

2x - 4 + tx - 1 = 8x - 43

-2x                     -2x

-4 + tx - 1 = 6x - 43

tx - 5 = 6x - 43

tx = 6x - 38

tx/x = 6x/x - 38

t = 6 - 38

t = -32

This is the value of t

By the way, there is no correlation between point T and the variable t.

Step 3: Find x's value

Now that we know what t is, we can solve for x

2x - 4 -32x - 1 = 8x - 43

-30x - 5 = 8x - 43

+30x        +30x

-5 = 38x - 43

+43         +43

38 = 38x

38/38 = 38x/38

1 = x

This is the value of x

A boat running upstream takes 8 hours 48 minutes to cover a certain distance, while it takes 4 hours to cover the same distance
nataly862011 [7]

The Required ratio between the speed of the boat and speed of the water current is 8:3.

<h3>What is ratio?</h3>

In mathematics, a ratio indicates how many times one number contains another. For example, if there are eight oranges and six lemons in a bowl of fruit, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six.

Given:

Upstream time= 8 hr 48 = 8 4/5 hour

Downstream time= 4 hour

Let the man's rate upstream be x kmph and that downstream be y kmph.

Then,

distance covered upstream in 8 hrs 48 min = Distance covered downstream in 4 hrs.

x* 8 hr 48 min = y* 4 hours

x* 8 4/5= 4y

y= 11/5 x

Now,

Required ratio

(y+x)/2:(y-x)/2

= (16x/5 * 1/2): ( 6x/5 *1/2)

=8/5:3/5

=8:3

Hence, the required ratio is 8:3.

An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 40.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating. An independent testing firm has been contra
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is -2.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic is:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the expected(claimed) mean, \sigma is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

An automobile manufacturer claims that its van has a 40.3 miles/gallon (MPG) rating.

This means that \mu = 40.3

After testing 250 vans, they found a mean MPG of 39.9. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 2.4.

This means, respectively, that:

n = 250, X = 39.9, \sigma = 2.4

So

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{39.9 - 40.3}{\frac{2.4}{\sqrt{250}}}

t = -2.64

The value of the test statistic is -2.64.

Can somebody help me solve for x?
Dahasolnce [82]

Let y = the distance between the top left corner and the bottom right corner

y^2 = 24^2 + 15^2

y^2 = 801

y = 3 * sqrt(89)

Now we can find x.

12^2 + x^2 = (3 * sqrt(89))^2

x^2 = 657

x = 3 * sqrt(73) or 25.63
