I noticed the word "train" in the problem and I knew I had to help you! :)
Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
As given by the statement in the problem,
Q may be the middle point, which cut the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves.
In rhombus, diagonals meet at right angles.
which means that PQ = QA
x+2 = 3x - 14
Grouping the terms, we will get,
3x -x = 14+ 2
2x = 16
dividing by 2 on both sides, we will get,
x = 16/2 = 8
8+2 = 3(8) - 14 = 10 = PQ or QA
Since there are 26 students in Mr. Carson's class, and each kid gets 3 pencils, that means we will multiply 26 and 3, in which we get 78. Now, since boxes of pencils only contain a dozen, which is 12 pencils, we will divide 78 by twelve, in which we get 6.5 boxes. You can't buy half a box, so he will need 7 boxes, since having 6 boxes means that you don't have enough pencils.
Hope this helps!
