Hey!

We could write the problem like this,
\frac{7}{8}=\frac{21}{x}
Cross multiply!
7x=8\cdot \:21
We know that 8\cdot \:21=168, let's plug that in.
7x=168
Divide both sides by 7.
\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{168}{7}

Our final answer would be,
x=24

Thanks!

\frac{21}{1} \frac{7}{8} =  \frac{21}{x} ( \frac{21}{1} ) 
 \\ Cross-out, the  DOUBLE 21's \\ 7(x) = 21 \\ 21(8) = ? \\ 7(x) = 168  \\  \frac{168}{7}  = 24 \\ Answer: x = 24 Choice. 2

The best choice is 'C'. If it's 1, 5, and 4, then ideally, in 100 draws, you would expect 10, 50, and 40 ... pretty close to Tyrell's actual experimental results.

Answer:

ΔLMN ≅ ΔLQP by (SAA)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that line (NM) is congruent to the line (PQ), meaning they have the same measure. This is signified by the small red line on each of these sides.

Moreover, it is also given that angle (MNL) is congruent to angle (QPL), this is shown by the red arc around these angles.

Finally one can figure out that angle (NLM) is congruent to angle (PLQ) by the vertical angles theorem. The verticle angles theorem states that when two lines intersect, the opposite angles are congruent.

Thus the two triangles are congruent by side-angle-angle postulate, abbreviated as (SAA).
