X is basically a variable. Now the thing is, that variables do not have a definite value, and that they can have an infinite range of values. While solving an equation in algebra, you don't know what your answer is going to be therefore, the answer could be infinite! :)
All the information given in the question tells us that the human body temperatures are normally distributed with a population's mean = 98.20°F and a standard deviation = 0.62°F.
The question gives us Sally's temperature in a <em>z-score</em>. We have to remember that the <em>standard normal distribution</em> is a particular case of a <em>normal distribution</em> where the mean = 0 and the standard deviation = 1.
Using <em>the standard normal distribution,</em> we can determine every probability associated with a normal distribution "transforming" the raw scores, coming from normally distributed data, into z-scores.
A z-score gives us the distance from the population's mean and is in standard deviation units. So, a z = 1.5 tells us that the value is 1.5 standard deviations <em>above the mean</em>. Conversely, a z = -1.5 tells us that the raw score is also 1.5 standard deviation from the mean, but in the opposite direction, that is, <em>below the mean</em>.
The formula for a z-score is as follows:
(1)

Then to find <em>x </em>(or the raw score, that is, Sally's temperature), we need to solve the formula (1) for it to finally solve the question.
Then

°F
Thus (with no units)
°F
Thus, Sally's temperature is °F (rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth).
<FGP = <QRP A triangle has 180 degrees. 2 equal angles means the third pair must be equal
Triangle GPF ~ Triangle RPQ AAA
end
I don't see any way to make these triangles similar except by stating the statement and why it is so. There really are no yes / no choices. If you get another answer, choose it.

JL/LE = 90/27 Given
KL /LD = 90/27 Given
<JLK = <DLK Vertically opposite
Are the ratios equal Yes Then is the angle included Yes
Then the triangles are similar.
Are the ratios not equal No then the triangles cannot be similar
Is the angle not included Then similarity cannot be proved.
ΔJLK ≈ ΔDLK Equal Ratios and included angle === similarity
