Solve for x. The number that is cut off is 14. Suppose that both figures are similar.

Mathematics

Mekhanik [1.2K]2 years ago

Since both rectangles are similar, the following ratio must be fulfilled:

\frac{x+9}{14}=\frac{9}{6}

By multiplying both sides by 14, we get

\begin{gathered} x+9=\frac{9\times14}{6} \\ x+9=21 \end{gathered}

and by subtracting 9 to both sides, we have

x=12

Therefore, the answer is 12.

PLS SOMEONE HELP ME ASAPPP
Aliun [14]

If I translated correctly into my native language, then you need to write the equation of the straight line.

y=x this is a straight line through the first and third quarters.

1) multiply by 2: y= 2x

2) to raise the function by 3 units, you need to add 3 to it. For example: y=2x to bring it up: y=2x+3

Solve the system of equations using the substitution method.
Karolina [17]
Substitution is where we first Isolate one of the unknowns, express it in terms of the other unknown, and replace the isolated unknown with the other unknown in another equation. So that each time we only need to deal with one unknown. I think you'll get a better idea here:

First name these 2 equations with 1 and 2.
4x + 5y = 7 (1)
y = 3x + 9 (2)

Since y is already isolated in (2), so we can skip the isolation step and continue to substitute.

Substitute (2) into (1).
4x + 5(3x+9) = 7

Expand.
4x + 15x + 45 = 7

Group.
19x + 45 = 7

Shift +45 to the other side and turn it into -45.

19x = 7 - 45
19x = -38

Shift x19 to the other side, turn it into /19.
X = - 38/19
X = - 2

Now we solved x already, we can just substitute x= - 2 back to equation (2).

y = 3(-2) + 9
y = - 6 + 9
y = 3

So, the answers are
x = - 2
y = 3

A wheel has 10 equally sized slices numbered from 1 to 10.
Ksenya-84 [330]

The random probability of event X, wheel stopping on a white slice is 0.9 while the probability of not X, wheel stopping on Grey slice is 0.1

  • Total numbers on wheel = total possible outcomes = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

  • Grey colored portion = {3}

  • White colored portion = {1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

  • X = Event that wheel stops on a white slice

  • P(X) = number of white slices ÷ total number of slices

  • P(X) = 9 / 10 = 0.9

  • P(not X) = 1 - P(X)

  • P(not X) = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

Therefore, the probability that wheel stops on a white slice is 0.9 while, the probability that wheel does not stop on a white slice is 0.1

The lifespans of gorillas in a particular zoo are normally distributed. The average gorilla lives 16 years; the
STatiana [176]

Using the Emperical rule:

68% lie with one one standard deviation:

16 + 1.7 , 16-1.7 = 17.7, 14.3

14.3 is part of the 68%.

The remaining 32% of the distribution is outside the range, with half being less than and half being greater than.

32/2 = 16

The probability of living loner than 14.3 Would be 16%
