If R is the midpoint of PS, then PR = RS -- (1)

Also, PR + RS = PS -- (2)

__________________

PR + RS = PS

7x + 23 + 13x - 19 = PS

__________________

Now, PR = PS

7x + 23 = 13x - 19

7x - 13x = -19 - 23

-6x = -42

x = -42/-6

x = 7

__________________

PS = 7x + 23 + 13x - 19

PS = 7(7) + 23 + 13(7) - 19

PS = 49 + 23 + 91 - 19

PS = 144 

Hope it helps!

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

a + 6a - 14 = 3a + 6a

Step 2: Solve for a

Combine like terms: 7a - 14 = 9a
Subtract 7a on both sides: -14 = 2a
Divide 2 on both sides: -7 = a
Rewrite: a = -7

Step 3: Check

Plug in a into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in a: -7 + 6(-7) - 14 = 3(-7) + 6(-7)
Multiply: -7 - 42 - 14 = -21 - 42
Subtract: -49 - 14 = -63
Subtract: -63 = -63

Here we see that -63 is equal to -63.

∴ a = -7 is a solution of the equation.

Step 4: Define equation

-12 - 4x = 8x + 4(1 - 7x)

Step 5: Solve for x

Distribute 4: -12 - 4x = 8x + 4 - 28x
Combine like terms: -12 - 4x = -20x + 4
Add 20x on both sides: -12 + 16x = 4
Add 12 on both sides: 16x = 16
Divide 16 on both sides: x = 1

Step 6: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x: -12 - 4(1) = 8(1) + 4(1 - 7(1))
Multiply: -12 - 4 = 8 + 4(1 - 7)
Subtract: -16 = 8 + 4(-6)
Multiply: -16 = 8 - 24
Subtract: -16 = -16

Here we see that -16 does indeed equal -16.

∴ x = 1 is a solution of the equation.

if you're currently making $6.75 per hour and you were offered a new job that pays $7.47 per hour, what will be your percent of

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

10.67% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find percent increase with (difference/original) x 100

7.47 - 6.75

= 0.72 (difference)

(0.72/6.75) x 100

= 10.67% increase

A pitcher holds 3/4 gallons of kool-aid. Martin wants to pour equal amounts of kool- aid into 6 smaller cotainers. How much kool

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{8}\ gallons$

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of kool - aid that the pitcher can hold = $\frac{3}4$ gallons

There are 6 smaller containers in which this kool - aid is to be adjusted.

Also, the volume of the smaller containers is equal to each other i.e. the containers are identical to each other in terms of volume.

To find:

The amount of kool - aid that each container can hold?

Solution:

Volume of all the smaller containers combined = Volume of the kool - aid available

Let the volume of one smaller container = $V$

$V + V + V + V + V + V = \dfrac{3}{4}\ gallons$

$\Rightarrow 6V = \dfrac{3}{4}\ gallons\\\Rightarrow V = \dfrac{3}{4\times 6 }\ gallons\\\Rightarrow V=\bold{\dfrac{1}{8}\ gallons}$

$\frac{1}{8}\ gallons$ of kool - aid is the amount that each smaller can hold.

If the air temperature is −14°F, how many degrees must it rise to reach 0°F?

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

14°

Step-by-step explanation:

→Since the temperature is a negative number, for the degree to reach 0, you must add with the same number.

→The temperature is -14, so to get it to 0, you add 14:

-14 + 14 = 0
