Area = (base)*(height)
15 = (x+7)(x-7)
(x+7)(x-7) = 15
x^2 - 49 = 15
x^2 - 49+49 = 15+49
x^2 = 64
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(64)
x = 8 ... note that x can't be negative

If x = 8, then the base is...
x+7 = 8+7 = 15

Therefore the base is 15 units. 
(the height is x-7 = 8-7 = 1 unit)

What is the solution to w-11=1.3
trapecia [35]
<span>Simplifying w + -11 = 1.3
 
Reorder the terms: -11 + w = 1.3
 
Solving -11 + w = 1.3
 
Solving for variable 'w'. Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '11' to each side of the equation. -11 + 11 + w = 1.3 + 11
 
Combine like terms: -11 + 11 = 0 0 + w = 1.3 + 11 w = 1.3 + 11
 
Combine like terms: 1.3 + 11 = 12.3 w = 12.3
 
Simplifying w = 12.3 <--- (Answer)

HELP I NEED THIS ANSWER FASTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT MY BRAIN IS ON 1 BRAIN CELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1.We say a coin is fair if it has probability 1/2 of landing heads up and probability 1/2 of landing tails up. What is the probability that if we flip two fair coins, both will land heads up? It seems plausible that each should be equally likely. If so, each has probability of 1/4.

2.The probability of getting heads on the toss of a coin is 0.5. If we consider all possible outcomes of the toss of two coins as shown, there is only one outcome of the four in which both coins have come up heads, so the probability of getting heads on both coins is 0.25.

3.his states that the probability of the occurrence of two mutually exclusive events is the sum of their individual probabilities. As you can see from the picture, the probability of getting one head and one tail on the toss of two coins is 0
