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

A water tank is 2/3 full. 40 litres of water are taken from the tank. The tank is now 1/2 full. How many litres does the tank ho

8090 [49]

⅔ - ½ = 4/6 - 3/6 (make denomenator the same)

= 1/6

Thus, 1/6 = 40 litres

A full tank is 6/6 which equals to 1 whole

So,

1 unit (from 1/6) = 40 litres

6 units (from 6/6) = 40 × 6

= 240 litres

Therefore, the tank holds 240 litres when it is full.
