Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
A tangent line makes a right angle with the radius to the point of tangency. Hence this triangle is a right triangle, and x° is the complement of 36°:
x° = 90° -36° = 54°
The value of x is 54.
The annual snowfall for city B is 7.7 inches.
Since it is 12.5 inches more: 58.7 - 12.5 = 46.2
Since 46.2 is 6 times that of city B: 46.2 / 6 = 7.7

Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
5x + 130 = 8x + 151
Reorder the terms:
130 + 5x = 8x + 151
Reorder the terms:
130 + 5x = 151 + 8x
Solving
130 + 5x = 151 + 8x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-8x' to each side of the equation.
130 + 5x + -8x = 151 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 5x + -8x = -3x
130 + -3x = 151 + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
130 + -3x = 151 + 0
130 + -3x = 151
Add '-130' to each side of the equation.
130 + -130 + -3x = 151 + -130
Combine like terms: 130 + -130 = 0
0 + -3x = 151 + -130
-3x = 151 + -130
Combine like terms: 151 + -130 = 21
-3x = 21
Divide each side by '-3'.
x = -7

Assuming that the probability of boys and girls is equal (in reality slightly more boys than girls are born), the probability is 1/2, simply because the older girl's gender is given and therefore not a part of the probability.
This question comes from the 'boy or girl paradox', a.k.a. the Mrs Smith Problem.
