Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since M is the midpoint of PQ

PM = MQ = 1/2 PQ

5x+8 = 1/2(76)

5x+8 = 38

5x = 38-8=30

x = 30/5 = 6

Answer:

  • x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First, let's revise a few definitions.</u>

  • Definition of midpoint: The point that is in the middle of a line.

<u>We know that:</u>

  • M is the midpoint of PQ
  • PM = 5x + 8
  • PQ = 76
  • 2PM = PQ

<u>Work:</u>

  • 2PM = PQ
  • => 2(5x + 8) = 76
  • => 10x + 16 = 76
  • => 10x = 76 - 16
  • => 10x = 60
  • => x = 6

Hence, the value of x is 6 units.

Jamie takes at random a counter from the bag and records the colour. Red : blue : green = 1:3:7 Jamie does this a number of time
Sonbull [250]

Answer: There are 249 times Jamie takes a counter from the bag.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of colour of red to blue to green is 1:3:7.

Number of blue counters = 68

Let the total number of times Jamie does from the bag be x.

So, According to question,

\frac{3}{11}\times x=68\\\\x=\frac{11}{3}\times 68\\\\x=249.33\\\\=249\ approx.

Hence, there are 249 times Jamie takes a counter from the bag.

What is the average rate of change of the line whose equation is:
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Rate of change = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

y − 3 = −12(x + 4)

Expanding, we have;

y - 3 = -12x - 48

y = -12x - 48 + 3

y = -12x - 45

Now, formula for rate of change is;

Rate of change = (y(x + h) - y)/h

y(x + h) is; y = -12(x + h) - 45

This gives;

Rate of change = (-12(x + h) - 45 + 12x + 45)/h

Rate of change = (-12x - 12h - 45 + 12x + 45)/h

Rate of change = -12h/h

Rate of change = -12
