3x is the least common denominators because you need to be able to make sure all other denominators can go multiple into it. Since the rest are just x, the largest number of 3x would be the denominator you want.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
win
There are 3 face cards / suit. Every suit contains a Jack, Queen, and king.
There are 4 suits so the number of face cards is 3*4 = 12
There is 1 ace / suit
There are 4 suits so the number of aces is 1 * 4 = 4
The gain from the face cards = 12 * 13 = 156
The gain from the aces = 4 * 3 = 12
Total gain = 168
Losses
Any other card costs you $5
How many cards is that? 52 - 16 = 36
Each one costs 5 dollars
Total loss = 5 * 36 = 180
So each time you play the game, you can expect to lose 180 - 68 = 12 dollars. You should walk away quickly from this one.
2x + 5 = 3x - 45 [alternate interior angles]
3x - 2x = 5 + 45
x = 50
4y - 1 + 2x + 5 = 180 [supplementaly angles]
4y + 2(50) + 4 = 180
4y + 100 = 176
4y = 76
y = 19
