Answer:

x = 24°

Step-by-step explanation:

If two parallel lines are being intersected by the same line, the opposite inside angles are congruent. This means that ∠EFH should be equal to ∠JHF. However, we cannot set these angles equal because we do not know the value of ∠JHG.

Line IG is intersected by line HJ. This means the value of ∠JHG is 24° (180° - 156° = 24°). Know that we know this value, we can set up an equation to find "x".

∠EFH = 2x

∠JHG = 24°

∠GHF = x

∠EFH = ∠JHF                                  <----- Opposite interior angles are equal

∠EFH = ∠JHG + ∠GHF                   <----- Break ∠JHF into 2 angles

2x = 24 + x                                      <----- Insert values

x = 24                                             <----- Subtract x from both sides

Select all the statements that are true for the following systems of equations.
Dvinal [7]
Answer:

The true statements are:

the first statement: Systems A and C have the same solution
the fourth statement: System C simplifies to 2x - 3y = 4 and 4x - y = 18
the fifth statement: Systems A and B have different soltuoins.

Explanation:

1) The first statement: systems A and C have the same solutiotn: TRUE

The fourth statement proves that that the two systems are equivalent which means that both have the same solution.

2) The second statement: All three systems have different solutions: FALSE

The fourth statement proves that the systems A and C have same solution, so this second statement is false.

3) The third statement: Systems B and C have the same solution: FALSE

<span>You can solve the two systems and will find the solutions are different

Solution of system B.

3x - 4y = 5
y = 5x + 3

replace y = 5x + 3 in the first equation => 3x - 4(5x + 3) = 5

=> 3x - 20x - 12 = 5

=> - 17x = 5 + 12

=> -17x = 17

=> x = - 17 / 17

=> x = - 1

y = 5x + 3 = 5(-1) + 3 = - 5 + 3 = - 2

=> solution x = -1 and y = -2

Solution of system C.

2x - 3y = 4
12x - 3y = 54

subtract
</span>
4) fourth statement: System C simplifies to <span>2x - 3y = 4 and 4x - y = 18 by dividing the second equation by three: TRUE

Look:

Second equation of system C = 12x - 3y = 54

Divide by 3:

12x - 3y     54
----------- = -----
     3           3

Distributive property:

12x      3y      
------ - ----- = 18
   3        3

4x - y = 18, which is the same second equation of system A, so the system C simplifies to the same system A, which is 2x - 3y = 4 and 4x - y = 18.

5) The fifth statement: systems A and B have different solutions: TRUE

</span><span>You can solve the two systems and will find the solutions are different

Solution of system A:

  2x - 3y =  4     
12x - 3y = 54           since it is equivalent to 4x - y =  18
-------------------
12x - 2x = 54 - 4      subtracting the first equation from the secon

10x = 50                  adding like terms

x = 5                        dividing by 10

From 2x - 3y = 4 => 3y = 2x - 4 = 2(5) - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6

=> y = 6 / 3 = 2

=> x = 5, y = 2

Solution of system B.

3x - 4y = 5
y = 5x + 3

replace y = 5x + 3 in the first equation => 3x - 4(5x + 3) = 5

=> 3x - 20x - 12 = 5

=> - 17x = 5 + 12

=> -17x = 17

=> x = - 17 / 17

=> x = - 1

Which is enough to prove that the two systems have different solutions.</span>

An airline reports that 85% of its flights arrive on time. To find the probability that its next four flights into LaGuardia Air
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The answer is "no".

Step-by-step explanation:

No, because the probability besides simultaneous flights to arrive on time are not self-sufficient for every flight (when the first flight was late, therefore the probabilities during the next flight were significantly greater), because then the standard multiplication principle would be used for explanatory variables.
