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.

The formula for the perimeter, P, of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2w, where L is the length and W is th width sovle the formula for t
vichka [17]

                                 P  =  2L + 2w

Subtract  2L
from each side:          P - 2L  =  2w

Divide each side
by  2 :                        (P - 2L) / 2  =  w

You could also write it as      (P/2  -  L)  =  w
Both answers are the same.

Which equation could have the graph shown below? y = (x – 4)(x – 1)(2 + x)(3 + x) y = (x – 4)(1 – x)(2 + x)(3 + x) y = (x + 4)(x
Paul [167]
These functions are expressed in the factored form: what this means is that say for the first one y=(x-4)(x-1)(2+x)(3+x) ... when x=4, the first bracket becomes 0. Same for x=1, x=-2, x=-3 ... 

If you were to graph this, you would see that the function's line interesects the x-axis at these points... when x=4, when x=1, etc etc.

Thus, take a look at the zeroes of the graph. At which x points do they interscet the x-axis? You can determine the equation of your graph by this.
