Question

M is between points C and Q. CM=22 and CQ=39.

What is MQ?

Answer 1

CQ - CM = MQ
39 - 22 = 17

MQ = 17

Answer 2

`MQ=17\ units`

Explanation:

we know that

`CQ=CM+MQ` ----> equation that represent the situation

we have

`CM=22\ units`

`CQ=39\ units`

substitute and solve for MQ

`39=22+MQ`

Subtract
`22` both sides

`39-22=22+MQ-22`

`17=MQ` ------> rewrite

`MQ=17\ units`
