Question

This is geometry and i hate it and i need the answer.

Answer 1

b. B

Explanation:

PM = RM

`5x - 3 = 11 - 2x`

`5x + 2x = 11 + 3`

`7x = 14`

`x * 2`

MQ =
`11 - 2x`

`11 - 2 * 2`

`11 - 4`

`= 7`

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

Since the line bisect PQ then the length of the left segment must be equal to the right segment.

Hence

`5x-3 = 11 -2x\\5x + 2x = 11 +3\\7x = 14\\x = 2`

When x = 2 we have

`PM = 5(2) -3 = 10 -3 =7.`

So the answer is B
