Step-by-step explanation:
(Assuming that this triangle is isosceles)
If this triangle is isosceles, then x° is going to be equal to its twin angle; 40°.
We can solve for z now.
180 = 40 + 40 + z
180 = 80 + z
Subtract 80 from both sides.
100 = z
z = 100°
Now that we know z = 100 degrees, we can begin to solve the expression (3x -20)
The expression sits on a 180° line and the angle z (100°) shares the line with the expression (3x - 20)°
180 = 100 + (3x - 20)
Subtract 100 from both sides.
80 = 3x - 20
Add 20 to both sides to isolate 3x
100 = 3x
Divide by 3 on both sides.
100/3 = 3x/3
33.33... = x
100/6 = 16.66 rounds to 16.7
the value of x would be 150
Answer:
Answer as a fraction: 4/15
Answer as a decimal: 0.267
The decimal version is approximate rounded to three decimal places.
Step-by-step explanation:
6 apples, 4 peaches
6+4 = 10 pieces of fruit total
The probability of picking an apple is 6/10 = 3/5
After you pick and eat the apple, there are 10-1 = 9 pieces of fruit left. Also, the probability of picking a peach is 4/9, as there are 4 peaches out of 9 fruit left over.
Multiply out 3/5 and 4/9 to get (3/5)*(4/9) = (3*4)/(5*9) = 12/45 = 4/15
Using a calculator, 4/15 = 0.267 approximately.
Answer:
y=-5/3x+13.
Step-by-step explanation:
As a line that is perpendicular to anoher line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the line's original slope, we know that the slope of our new line is -5/3. As it passes point (12, -7), we can use the point slope formula which is y-y1=m(x-x1). So plug in, y+7=-5/3(x-12) and that gives us y+7=-5/3x+20 which gives our final answer of y=-5/3x+13.
