Answer:

PQ = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

If R is the midpoint of PQ, then PR = RQ

⇒ 6x + 7 = 3x + 8

⇒ 3x = 1

⇒ x = 1/3

So PR = 6x + 7 = 6(1/3) + 7 = 9

and RQ = 3x + 8 = 3(1/3) + 8 = 9

⇒ PQ = PR + RQ = 9 + 9 = 18

arrange the expressions in the correct sequence to rationalize the denominator of the expression -(2)/(\sqrt(x+y-2)-\sqrt(x+y+2)

cupoosta [38]

We have to rationalize the denominator:
$\frac{-2}{ \sqrt{x+y-2} - \sqrt{x+y+2} } = \\ \frac{-2}{ \sqrt{x+y-2} - \sqrt{x+y+2} }* \frac{ \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }{ \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }= \\ \frac{-2*( \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2}) }{x+y-2-(x+y+2)}= \\ \frac{-2*( \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2}) }{x+y-2-x-y-2}= \\ \frac{-2*( \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }{-4}= \\ \frac{ \sqrt{x+y-2}+ \sqrt{x+y+2} }{2}$
