Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Q is the midpoint of PR,

PQ = QR

=> 3x + 2 = 7x - 18

=> 3x - 7x = -18 - 2

=> -4x = -20

=> x = -20/-4

=> x = 5

Hope it helps :)

Please help me solve this

Answer:

(D) (a + 4)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, you need to subtract the first equation from the second.

9p = 3a + 1

2p = 1a + 4

Now, you need to rearrange the equation so that is equal to p.

2p = a + 4

(2p)/2 = (a + 4)/2

p = (a + 4)/2

This gives you answer choice D.

Find the area of the shaded regions. Give your answer as a completely simplified exact value in terms of π (no approximations).

Anna [14]

The shaded areas add to 2/5 of the area of the circle, which is given by
A = πr²

Then the shaded area is ...
(2/5)A = (2/5)π(10 in)²
shaded area = 40π in²

A bathtub is draining at a constant rate. After 2 minutes, it holds 30 gallons of water. Three minutes later, it holds 12 gallon

iris [78.8K]

3 minutes - 2 minutes = 1 minute

30 gallons - 12 gallons = 18 gallons

it is draining at 18 gallons per minute

equation would be: y = -18x
