Q and T are the midpoints of the legs,
RV
and
SU
, of trapezoid RSUV.
If UV=p–36, QT=2p–80, and RS=p, what is the value of p?

No because if you do the higher number minus the lower number you will get a positive. if you do it the other way around you will get a negative number

1. statement- ca is parallel to db and e is the midpoint of ad reason- given2. statement- reason- alternate interior angles3. statement- de is congruent to ae reason- definition of midpoint4. statement- triangle aec is congruent to triangle deb reason- asa (angle side angle)

35=5×77=7×1when we simplify 7 by 7we will get 5 and 1, 5 divided by 1 is 5
