Mathematics

2x+1=5x-44 that would be your equation

next start to simplify 

subtract 1 from both sides so you are left with 2x=5x-45

then subtract 5x from both sides and you have -3x=-45

then finally divide -3 from -45 to get x=15

Answer:

PQ=31\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In this problem Q is the midpoint of PR

so

PQ=QR

we have

PQ=2x+1 -----> equation A

QR=5x-44 -----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

2x+1=5x-44

solve for x

5x-2x=1+44

3x=45

x=15

Find the value of PQ

PQ=2x+1 ------> PQ=2(15)+1=31\ units

The area of a rectangle is 5x^3+19+6x-18 with length x + 3. Using synthetic division, what is the width of the rectangle?
adell [148]
               5  19    6  -18
        -3     
                    -15 -12   18

                 5    4   -6    0

Therefore, the width is 5x^2 + 4x - 6

The solution to the given system of linear equations lies in which quadrant?
Rina8888 [55]
X-3y=6
x+y=2
this is an substitution problem
so first you can do is rewrite the problem by subjection one variable
x=3y+6
then substitute this in the other proble
x+y=2
(3y+6)+y=2
4y+6=2
4y=2-6
4y=-4
y=-1
then substitute the no. in the original equation. 
x=3y+6
x=3(-1)+6
x=-3+6
x=3
now you got the intercepts and you draw the line and check.
it's in the IV quadrant

Which equation combines with the given equation to form a system of equations with the solution x = 3 and y = 9? x + 2y = 21
max2010maxim [7]
Yes. x=3 and y =9 are the solutions.
 Because if you change x=3 and y =9 ,you will have 
3+2* 9 =21
3+18 =21
21 =21 (true)
