Answer:

Total Paperback books = 8x , where x is any positive number

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The total books are = 13x   ; where x is any positive number

As given,

The ratio of hardback books to total books is 5 to 13.

⇒Hardback books = \frac{5}{13}× Total books

⇒Hardback books = \frac{5}{13}× 13x = 5x

So, Paperback books = Total books - Hardback books

                                    = 13x - 5x

                                    = 8x

⇒Total Paperback books = 8x

Answer:

80 adults must addent to make a complete $1,000

Step-by-step explanation:

You start with the students, $3 for each and 200 of them attend. 3x200=600 dollars in total. Then you would subtract 600 from 1,000. Next you will do the adults, 5x80=400 (The "leftover" cash) $5 for each times 80 adults will be $400 in total.

QS bisects $\angle PQR$ and $m\angle PQR\ =\ 119\degree$ .
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Id QS bisects angle PQR, then <PQS = <SQR and <PQS+<RQS = <PQR

The formula then becomes

<PQS+<PQS = <PQR

2<PQS = <PQR

<PQS = <PQR/2

Given <PQR = 119°

Substitute into the resulting expression above;

<PQS = <PQR/2

<PQS = 119/2

<PQS = 59.5°

Since <RQS = <PQR, hence <RQS is also 59.5°

Three numbers have absolute values of 2,4 and 9. The product of all the numbers is positive.
Margaret [11]
The absolute value of a number is how far away it is from 0 on a number line.
Example) 2 is two numbers away from 0, but neg. 2 (-2) is also two numbers away from 0

So basically. A positive number has the absolute value of itself. (2= a value of 2) and negative numbers have the absolute value of the positive form of that number. (-9= a value of 9)

Numbers that have the absolute value of 2: 2 and -2
Numbers that have the absolute value of 4: 4 and -4
Numbers that have the absolute value of 9: 9 and -9

You are looking to add your numbers together to make a positive.

So the answer is the positive answers to the absolute values: 2,4,9

2+4+9=15

15 is a positive number.

If P = (-2,-1) and Q = (4,3) are the
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(-2,-1) and Q(4,3)

average of x-coordinates = (-2+4)/2 = 1

average of y-coordinates = (-1+3)/2 = 1

midpoint of PQ: (1,1)

distance between midpoint and Q = √((4-1)²+(3-1)²) = √13

(x-1)² + (y-1)² = 13
