Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate x first by moving 16 to the other side
x = 25 - 16
x = 9
What we know is that the sum of a triangle's internal angles are 180º, and a straight angle makes 180º.
first, we have to find the third internal angle(let's call it n) so that we can use it to find the exterior angle.
(3x + 20) + (4x + 5) + n = 180
simplify:
7x + 25 + n = 180
7x + n = 155
n = 155 - 7x
Now we can add it to the external angle to find x.
(155 - 7x) + (8x + 15) = 180
simplify:
170 + 8x - 7x = 180
170 + x = 180
x = 10
Now we can substitute it to the external angle.
8 x 10 + 15 = 95
the exterior angle is 95º.
Answer: -1
The negative value indicates a loss
============================================================
Explanation:
Define the three events
A = rolling a 7
B = rolling an 11
C = roll any other total (don't roll 7, don't roll 11)
There are 6 ways to roll a 7. They are
1+6 = 7
2+5 = 7
3+4 = 7
4+3 = 7
5+2 = 7
6+1 = 7
Use this to compute the probability of rolling a 7
P(A) = (number of ways to roll 7)/(number total rolls) = 6/36 = 1/6
Note: the 36 comes from 6*6 = 36 since there are 6 sides per die
There are only 2 ways to roll an 11. Those 2 ways are:
5+6 = 11
6+5 = 11
The probability for event B is P(B) = 2/36 = 1/18
Since there are 6 ways to roll a "7" and 2 ways to roll "11", there are 6+2 = 8 ways to roll either event.
This leaves 36-8 = 28 ways to roll anything else
P(C) = 28/36 = 7/9
-----------------------------
In summary so far,
P(A) = 1/6
P(B) = 1/18
P(C) = 7/9
The winnings for each event, let's call it W(X), represents the prize amounts.
Any losses are negative values
W(A) = amount of winnings if event A happens
W(B) = amount of winnings if event B happens
W(C) = amount of winnings if event C happens
W(A) = 18
W(B) = 54
W(C) = -9
Multiply the probability P(X) values with the corresponding W(X) values
P(A)*W(A) = (1/6)*(18) = 3
P(B)*W(B) = (1/18)*(54) = 3
P(C)*W(C) = (7/9)*(-9) = -7
Add up those results
3+3+(-7) = -1
The expected value for this game is -1.
The player is expected to lose on average 1 dollar per game played.
Note: because the expected value is not 0, this is not a fair game.

Answer:
fourth and fifth
Step-by-step explanation:
If George gets a 20% raise, that means he will now earn
$445 + $445*20% = $445 + $445*0.2 = $445*1 + $445*0.2 = $445*(1 + 0.2) = $445 * 1.2
So we know the fourth is correct.
We also know that current pay is 100% of current pay and the new pay will be 120% of current pay, so x/455 must be equal to 120% / 100% which is equal to 120/100, so fifth is correct too.
