Question

PT=7x-24 and TQ=6x-2, Find PT.

Answer 1

Though we cannot exactly find PT, we can find it in terms of TQ.

Explanation:

Multiply the second equation by 7/6 to get 7TQ/6=7x-7/3. Subtracting 65/3 from both sides, we get 7TQ/6-65/3=7x-24. Since the right side is equal to PT, PT=7TQ/6-65/3.

Answer 2

Though we cannot exactly find PT, we can find it in terms of TQ. Multiply the second equation by 7/6 to get 7TQ/6=7x-7/3. Subtracting 65/3 from both sides, we get 7TQ/6-65/3=7x-24. Since the right side is equal to PT, PT=7TQ/6-65/3.
