A leak in a pool causes the height of the water to decrease by 0.25 foot over 2 hours. After the leak is fixed, the height of th

e water is 4.75 feet. The equation 4.75 = x + (negative 0.25) can be used to find x, the original height of the water in a pool.

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The original height of the water in the pool in feet is 5.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Given the equation, 4.75 = x + (-0.25) can be used to find x, the original height of the water in a pool. Therefore, the height of the fool in the beginning is,

4.75 = x + (-0.25)

4.75 + 0.25 = x

x = 5

Hence, the original height of the water in the pool in feet is 5.

Use the normal distribution of SAT critical reading scores for which the mean is 502 and the standard deviation is 116. Assume t
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

(a) 93.19%

(b) 267.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The population mean and standard deviation are given as 502 and 116 respectively.

Consider, <em>X</em> be the random variable that shows the SAT critical reading score is normally distributed.

(a) The percent of the SAT verbal scores are less than 675 can be calculated as:

P(X

Thus, the required percentage is 93.19%

(b)

The number of SAT verbal scores that are expected to be greater than 575 can be calculated as:

P(X>575)=P(\frac{x-502}{116}>\frac{575-502}{116}\\P(X>575)=P(Z>\frac{575-502}{116})\\P(X>575)=P(Z>0.6293)\\P(X>575)=0.2673

So,

Out of 1000 randomly selected SAT verbal scores, 1000(0.2673) = 267.3 are expected to have greater than 575.

Provide the measure of each angle in quadrilateral RSTU​
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

R = 112, S = 64, T = 58, U = 126

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadrilateral ABCD is reflected to create quadrilateral RSTU

The angles are all the same

Since a quadrilateral equals up to 360

112+64+58=234

360-234=126

For which value(s) of x are the triangles congruent?​
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The solutions are 2 and 5

Because it's asking what would make the triangles congruent, you would set up the equation like this because the angles (angle 3 and angle 4) need to be equal:

x^2 = 7x - 10

Next, you add 10 to both sides. This is so that you can move it to the other side, addition is the inverse of subtraction.

x^2 + 10 = 7x

Now subtract 7x from both sides. Subtraction is the inverse of addition. You do this to get it on the other side so you can factor it. You can move the 10 and 7x to the other side in any order or at the same time, I just did it like this.

x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0

Now, factor. I don't really know how to explain factoring, you just get a feel for it with a lot of practice.

(x - 2)(x - 5) = 0

You can use FOIL to check this if you want to. x(x) is x^2, -2(-5) is 10), -2x - -5x is -7x. Now, find what you need to do to make what's in each of the groups of parentheses equal to 0.

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

One of the solutions is 2, because you add 2 to x to get 0.

x - 5 = 0

x = 5

The other solution is 5, because you add 5 to x to get 0. Lastly, check your solutions by plugging them in to the original equation.

2^2 = 7(2) - 10

4 = 14 - 10

So 2 is definitely a solution.

5^2 = 7(5) - 10

25 = 35 - 10

5 is also a solution.

Hope that helps :]
