Answer:

The length of PQ is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

If you flip triangle PQR upside down the you can see which side corresponds to which. BC corresponds to QR and AB with PQ, the scalar is 6 because of BC (2) times 6 = QR (12). So you just have to do 4 times 6 which is 24.

One week Beth bought 3 apples and 8 pears for $14.50. The next week she bought 6 apples and 4 pears and paid $14. Find the cost

zalisa [80]

Let us assume the cost of 1 apple = x dollars
Let us also assume the cost of 1 pear = y dollars
Then we can form two equations from the details given in the question. Based on those details the required answer to the question can be easily deduced.
3x + 8y = 14.50
And
6x + 4y = 14
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2 we get
3x + 2y = 7
2y = 7 - 3x
y = (7 - 3x)/2
Putting the value of y from the second equation in the first equation we get
3x + 8y = 14.50
3x + 8[(7 - 3x)/2] = 14.50
3x + 4 (7 - 3x) = 14.50
3x + 28 - 12x = 14.50
- 9x = 14.50 - 28
- 9x = - 13.5
9x = 13.5
x = 13.5/9
   = 1.5
Putting the value of x in the second equation we get
6x + 4y = 14
(6 * 1.5) + 4y = 14
9 + 4y = 14
4y = 14 - 9
4y = 5
y = 5/4
   = 1.25
So we can find from the above deduction that the cost of 1 apple is 1.5 dollars and the cost of 1 pear is 1.25 dollars
Then
Cost of 2 apples = 2 * 1.5 dollars
   = 3.0 dollars
So the cost of 2 apples is $3 and the cost of 1 pear is $1.25.

Pls help me asap....thanks in advanve

You would at the distances together, since 120 is above sea level and 39 is below. To find the whole vertical distance (the distance they are apart), just add the values (numbers) together.

$120+39=159$

$159=the-distance$

I hope this helps!
