8 0

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Expand

    8x - 5x + 5 = 20

2. Simplify

    3x + 5 = 20

3. Subtract 5 from both sides

    3x = 20 - 5

4. Simplify

    3x = 15

5. Divide both sides by 3

    x = 15/3

6. Simplify

    x = 5

Y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 9 when x = 2. What is the value of y when x = 3?
Illusion [34]
Correct formula is y = kx, where k is the "constant of proportionality."

If y = 9 when x = 2, then 9 = k(2), or k = 9/2.

Then y = (9/2)x.

If x = 3, y = (9/2)(3) = 27/2  (answer)

Each homeroom must send two student representatives to each student council meeting. Mrs. Lincoln has 15 girls and 10 boys in he
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Lincoln has 15 girls and 10 boys in her homeroom. She randomly selects two students. The total number of students is 25.

The probability of choosing one girl is:

15 / 25 = 3 / 5

Now, 24 students are left.

The probability of choosing one boy is:

10 / 24 = 5 / 12

Therefore, the probability of choosing one girl and one boy is:

3 / 5 * 5 / 12

= 3 / 12

= 1/4

Use the circle to solve for the missing measures. Assume lines that appear tangent are tangent. Do NOT round any answers.
wlad13 [49]

The given circle having two external tangents, according to circle

theorem, have the following values;

  • r = 3
  • m∠1  = 82°
  • m∠2 = 49°
  • x = 82°

<h3>How can the radial  length and angles be found?</h3>

r² + 1.6² = (0.4 + r)²

(0.4 + r)² - (r² + 1.6²) = 0

0.8·r - 2.4 = 0

0.8·r = 2.4

r = 2.4 ÷ 0.8 = 3

  • <u>r = 3</u>

y = 49°

From the two tangent angle theorem, we have;

m∠1 = ((82 + 98 + 82) - (360 - ((82 + 98 + 82)))) ÷ 2 = 82

  • <u>m∠1  = 82°</u>

According to circle theorems, angle at the center is twice angle

subtended at the circumference.

m∠2 = (360 - (82 + 98 + 82)) ÷ 2 = 49°

  • <u>m∠2 = 49°</u>

The length of the chord subtended by the arc <em>x</em> is equal to the length of

the chord subtended by 89°, which gives;

  • <u>x = 82°</u>
