Answer:
2x -5, like that you didn't put enough.
Check the picture below.
let's bear in mind that the segment MN is simply the sum of MQ + QN, and since M and N are midpoints, they cut that respective section into two equal halves.

Answer:
x=8.499
y=0.167
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation says:x^2-9y^2=72....(1)
x+3y=9.......(2)
divide (2) from (1),it becomes:
x-3y=8
making x subject of formula,
x=8+3y....(3)
submitting (3) into (1),it becomes
(8+3y)^2-9y^2=72
64+48y=72
48y=72-64=8
y=8/48=0.167......(4)
submitting (4) into (2),it becomes
x+3(0.167)=9
x+0.501=9
x=9-0.501
x=8.499
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the work rate formula (1/Holly's time) + (1/Jasper's time which is twice of Holly's time) = 1/ Total time taken by both
