Question

Use the figure to the right to find the value of PT. T is the midpoint of PQ PT=7x+9 and TQ=9x-5

Answer 1

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, T is the mid point of PQ,

$\therefore PT = TQ \\

7x + 9 = 9x - 5\\

9 + 5 = 9x - 7x\\

14 = 2x \\

\frac{14}{2} = x\\

7 = x \\

x = 7\\

PT = 7x + 9 = 7\times 7 + 9= 49 + 9 \\

PT= 58
