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

Answer: x>1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a number is x.

Hence,

$8x-6 > 3x\\\\8x-6-3x > 3x-3x\\\\5x-6 > 0\\\\5x-6+6 > 0+6\\\\5x > 6\\$

Divide both parts of the equation by 5:

$x > 1.2$
