Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of each side in one triangle to
the corresponding side in the other one is always the same number. 
We know what one pair of sides is ... 3.5 and 7 ... so we know that
each side in the first triangle is 1/2 as long as the corresponding side
in the other one.

So we can say with assurance that ...

          y = 1/2 (x + 4)
and
          x = 1/2 (3y) .

That's all the intelligence required for this problem.  The rest is just algebra,
and I should not need to go through all the routine misery for you here.

When you solve this pair of equations slowly, carefully, and accurately,
you'll find that the sides of the triangles are ...

         3.5,   8,  12
and
           7,  16,  24 .

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The correct value is t* = 2.797.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 25 - 1 = 24

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 24 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a  two-tailed confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995. So we have T = 2.797.

Solve the inequality. -4x + 15 &lt; -21
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

x>9

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x + 15 < -21

Subtract 15 from each side

-4x + 15-15 < -21-15

-4x < -36

Divide each side by -4, remembering to flip the inequality

-4x/-4> -36/-4

x >9
