Answer:

QS is 34

Step-by-step explanation:

We find x first. We set each side equal to each other to do so.

5x-3=21-x

6x=24

x=4

Next we find QS value. We add each side.

5x-3+21-x

4x+18

Then we plug in x to find numeric value.

4(4)+18

34

Answer:

QS is 34

Step-by-step explanation:

R is the midpoint of QS

So, QR= RS

(QR = 5x-3 and RS =21-x)

QR= RS

Plug in QR  and RS

5x-3=21-x

Add x on both sides

6x-3= 21

Add 3 on both sides

6x= 24

Divide by 6 on both sides

x= 4

QS= QR+RS

QS=5x-3+21-x

QS=4x+18

Plug in 4 for x

QS=4(4)+18=34

The table shows how an elevator 500 feet above the ground is descending at a steady rate. Which equation represents the height,
Gennadij [26K]
This is the concept of algebra, given that the elevator is 500ft above the ground and it is descending at a steady rate of 5ft/sec. Then height h, at time t of the elevator movement can be modeled by the equation:
h(t)=-5t+500.
The correct answer is h(t)=-5t+500

A tire dealer sells all-season tires for $68 each and all-terrain tires for $125 each. In one day, the sales both tires totaled
Anettt [7]
Start by making variables to represent each tire
S=all-season tires
T=all-terrain tires
Create equations based on what was given in the question
68s+125t=3926 (the price for each tire multiplied by the number of tires equals the overall sales price)
T=14 (14 all-terrain tires were sold)
Sub 14 into the first equation for t in order to solve for s
68s+125(14)=3926
68s+1750=3926
68s=3926-1750
68s=2176
S=32
I hope this helps!

Trapezoid A B C D is shown. Sides A B and D C are parallel. Sides A D and B C are congruent. Angle B is (3 x) degrees and angle
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer: The value of x in trapezoid ABCD is 15

Step-by-step explanation: The trapezoid as described in the question has two bases which are AB and DC and these are parallel. Also it has sides AD and BC described as congruent (that is, equal in length or measurement). These descriptions makes trapezoid ABCD an isosceles trapezoid.

One of the properties of an isosceles trapezoid is that the angles on either side of the two bases are equal. Since line AD is equal to line BC, then angle D is equal to angle C. It also implies that angle A is equal to angle B.

With that bit of information we can conclude that the angles in the trapezoid are identified as 3x, 3x, 9x and 9x.

Also the sum of angles in a quadrilateral equals 360. We can now express this as follows;

3x + 3x + 9x + 9x = 360

24x = 360

Divide both sides of the equation by 24

x = 15

Therefore, in trapezoid ABCD

x = 15

Alexis wanted to understand whether grade level had any relationship to their opinion on extending the school day. She surveyed
MakcuM [25]

Actually there is enough information to solve this problem. First, let us find the total per row and per column.


 (see attached pic)


P(Grade 10 | opposed) with P(opposed | Grade 10)

P(Grade 10 | opposed) = Number in Grade 10 who are opposed / Total number of Opposed (column)

P(Grade 10 | opposed) = 13 / 41 = 0.3171

 

P(opposed | Grade 10) = Number in Grade 10 who are opposed / Total number in Grade 10 (row)

P(opposed | Grade 10) = 13 / 32 = 0.4063

 

Therefore:

P(Grade 10 | opposed) IS NOT EQUAL P(opposed | Grade 10), hence they are dependent events.

 

Answer:

P(Grade 10 | opposed) < P(opposed | Grade 10)
