Step-by-step explanation:
from what I can see there are 2 options to make the 2 triangles congruent :
either the opposite sides must be equal or the neighboring sides must be equal.
so, either
5x = 3x + 10
and
5x - 2 = 4x + 3
or
5x = 4x + 3
and
5x - 2 = 3x + 10
for the first
5x = 3x + 10
2x = 10
x = 5
control
5x - 2 = 4w + 3
5×5 - 2 = 4×5 + 3
23 = 23
correct.
for the second
5x = 4x + 3
x = 3
control
5×3 - 2 = 3×3 + 10
15 - 2 = 9 + 10
13 = 19
no, not a valid solution.
so, x = 5
Answer: Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the survey was found that 4 out of 5 preferred creamy over chunky peanut butter.
Then the relative frequency is:
4/5 = 0.8 prefer creamy peanut butter.
And we can assume that:
1/5 = 0.2 prefer chunky peanut butter.
We also could multiply these numbers by 100% to obtain the percentage forms:
0.8*100% = 80%
0.2*100% = 20%
Now, if there are 120 people in the grocery store, we can expect that the 80% will prefer creamy peanut butter.
Then we can expect that the number of people that prefers creamy peanut butter is:
N = (80%/100%)*120 = 0.8*120 = 96
Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.
