The length of the longest slide is 5 inches. he other two sides will be 4  inches in length.

<h3>Length of the longest slide</h3>

Isosceles triangle

Given:

Total length=13 inches

Hence:

AC=BC<AB

Let AC=BC=x-1 inches

AB=x inches

Thus:

x-1+(x-1)+x=13

3x-2=13

3x=13+2

3x=15

divide both side by 3x

x=15/3

x=5 inches

Hence:

Other two side

x-1=5-1=4 inches

Therefore the length of the longest slide is 5 inches. he other two sides will be 4  inches in length.

Which equations have the same value of x as 2/3(6x+12)=-24? Check all that apply.1. 4x+8=24 2. 9x+18=-24 3. 4x+12=-24 4. 18x+36/
Neko [114]

Answer: Hence, Option (6) and (8) are correct as their value is also "-8".

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

\frac{2}{3}(6x+12)=-24

First we need to solve to get the value of 'x' :

\frac{2}{3}(6x+12)=-24\\\\6x+12=\frac{3}{2}\times (-24)\\\\6x+12=3\times (-12)\\\\6x+12=-36\\\\6x=-36-12\\\\6x=-48\\\\x=\frac{-48}{6}\\\\x=-8

Therefore, x=-8

Now, we will check all the options :

1) 4x+8=24

4x+8=24\\\\4x=24-8\\\\4x=16\\\\x=\frac{16}{4}=4

2) 9x+18=-24

9x+18=-24\\\\9x=-24-18\\\\9x=-42\\\\x=-4.67

3) 4x+12=-24

4x+12=-24\\\\4x=-24-12\\\\4x=-36\\\\x=\frac{-36}{4}=-9

4) 18x+36/2=-24

18x+18=-24\\\\18x=-24-18\\\\18x=-42\\\\x=-2.34

5) 4x=-36

x=\frac{-36}{4}=-9

6) 4x=-32

x=\frac{-32}{4}=-8

7) x=-9

8) x=-8

Hence, Option (6) and (8) are correct as their value is also "-8".

The parents of three children, ages 1, 3, and 6, wish to set up a trust fund that will pay X to each child upon attainment of ag
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The equation of <em>Z</em> is: Z=X(v^{17}+v^{15}+v^{12})+Y(v^{20}+v^{18}+v^{15})

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The first child is of age 1 year.

        Then the amount invested for the 1-year old is: Xv^{17}+Yv^{20}

  • The second child is of age 3 years.

        Then the amount invested for the 3-year old is: Xv^{15}+Yv^{18}

  • The third child is of age 6 years.

        Then the amount invested for the 6-year old is: Xv^{12}+Yv^{15}

The one-time investment will be:

Z=Xv^{17}+Yv^{20}+Xv^{15}+Yv^{18}+Xv^{12}+Yv^{15}\\=X(v^{17}+v^{15}+v^{12})+Y(v^{20}+v^{18}+v^{15})

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected profit would be the sum of all the possibility multiplied. It means,

<em>"We need to multiply the profit by its possibility and add it with the product of the loss and its possibility."</em>

<em />

This will be the expectation, or expected profit.

Let's do it:

Expected Profit = (26,000)(0.7) + (-8000)(0.3) = 15,800
