Answer:
#13. line QR is 26.
#14. a) x = 2 b) m = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
13. We can use the Pythagorean therom: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We will substitue PQ for a and PR for b
10^2 + 24^2 = c^2
100 + 576 = c^2
100 + 576 = 676
Then, we find the square root of 676, which is 26.
14. a) 3(2x -1) = 9
we first use distributive property:
6x - 3 = 9
then we add 3 to both sides to counteract the -3:
6x = 12
we divide both sides by 6 to get x alone:
x = 2
b) 3m - 12 = 6
we add 12 to both sides to counteract the -12:
3m = 18
we divide both sides by 3:
m = 6
