QR is tangent to p at r. Find RQ

Step-by-step explanation:

If that is circle P. that means that P is the center, although it does not appear to be.  PR is 12, so that means that PQ is 8 + 12 (because any radius from the center will always measure 12).  PQ is 20.  PQ is also the hypotenuse of the right triangle that is formed when a tangent meets a circle at exactly one point.  That means that to find QR, we need Pythagorean's Theorem.

and

and

so

RQ = 16

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
