Question

M is the midpoint of PQ. PM = 9x + 3 and MQ = 11x- 17, find x and PQ

x = 8, PQ = 150

Answer 1

Ans: x = 10, PQ = 186

ok done. Thank to me <333

P/s: x ≠ 8 =))))) i think u'r misunderstood

Answer 2

To find x and PQ, we can set up an equation using the fact that M is the midpoint of PQ. However, with the given values, the equation does not hold true and the correct values for x and PQ cannot be determined.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x and PQ, we can first set up an equation using the fact that M is the midpoint of PQ. The formula for finding the midpoint of a line segment is (PQ) / 2 = PM. We can substitute the given values PM = 9x + 3 and MQ = 11x - 17 into the equation:

(9x + 3 + 11x - 17) / 2 = PQ

Simplifying the equation gives us:

20x - 14 = 2PQ

Since we are given that x = 8 and PQ = 150, we can substitute these values into the equation to find:

20(8) - 14 = 2(150)

Simplifying further:

160 - 14 = 300

146 = 300

Since this is not a true statement, it means that the given values of x = 8 and PQ = 150 are not correct.

The correct values for x and PQ cannot be determined with the information given.
