Answer: \frac{170}{X}+\frac{170}{X-9}=2

(=)17 0x +170x+1530=2x²+18x

(=)-2 x² +322x+1530=0

Δ=b²-4ac

Δ=115924

\sqrt{}Δ=340,476>0

because Δ>0 so that 2 X

=>x₁=2 (true), x₂=-161(false)

X+9= 2+9=11

first travel 2 mi/hr

second travel 11 mi/hr

If the diameter of a circle is 9 cm, then its circumference is 56.52 cm.<br><br> True or false?
Brrunno [24]
Circumference 
2*pi*r
2*(22/7)*(9/2)
2*(11/7)*9
198 / 7
28.28 cm

so 56.52 is not correct

In the following picture, (QS) ̅ and (PR) ̅ are chords of the circle. Find the length of QS. (Remember to show formulas/equation
Inessa [10]
<h3>Answer: QS is 37 units long</h3>

=========================================

Explanation:

PN = 24 and NR = 14 are pieces of the chord PR. The two pieces multiply to some value. At the same time, the other two pieces QN = 21 and NS = 2x-4 also multiply to that same value. In short, the chord pieces multiply to the same number. This is known as the intersecting chord theorem.

PN*NR = QN*NS

24*14 = 21*(2x-4)

336 = 42x-84

336+84 = 42x-84+84 .... add 84 to both sides

420 = 42x

42x = 420

42x/42 = 420/42 ...... divide both sides by 42

x = 10

We know that x = 10 so we can use it to find the length of NS

NS = 2x-4

NS = 2*10-4

NS = 20-4

NS = 16

Therefore,

QS = QN + NS

QS = 21 + 16

QS = 37

--------

note: as a check,

PN*NR = QN*NS

24*14 = 21*16

336 = 336

we get a true equation, so we have the proper values

Corinne has a job selling magazines. She earns $7.50 per hour plus 20% of the total amount of her sales. She also gets an allowa
maw [93]
PART A
Coefficient
Coefficient h is 7.50
Coefficient s is 0.20

Variable
h and s

Constant
40

PART B
7.50h + 0.20s + 40
= 7.50(25) + 0.20(300) + 40
= 187.5 + 60 + 40
= 287.5
She earns $287.5

PART C
Yes, the coefficient of h would change to 9, the rests are still the same. Because she's no longer receive 7.50 per hour, and start earning 9 per hour, so the coefficient should change.
The expression would be
9h + 0.20s + 40
