Louann= 14x+24
Carla= 16x+14
 So basically this is just like solving equations. The way I did this was just put random numbers for x and then solve it.
First attempt: 
14(7)+24=16(7)+14
98+24=112+14
122=126
 Okay the first one didn't work so I use 6 for x. 
Second attempt: 
14(6)+24=16(6)+14
84+24=96+14
108=110

So 6 didn't work and you already should know that the answers should be between 1 and 5. 

So now I going to do 5 for x
Third attempt:
14(5)+24=16(5)+14
70+24=80=14
94=94
 
And so the answer is 5! :D The multiply choice questions were worth 5 points and Louann and Carla had 94 for their scores! I hope this help you out and clear for you! :D

In the diagram, FG=34, GH=288, and HJ=256. Is GH tangent to circle F?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

If GH is tangent to circle F, then it forms a right angle with FG.  Therefore, triangle FGH would be a right triangle and would satisfy Pythagorean theorem.

34² + 256² = 288²

66692 = 82944

The sides are not a Pythagorean triple, so GH is not tangent to the circle.

I need help with this problem,
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

  JL = 78

Step-by-step explanation:

The shorter segment is a midline, so is half the length of the longer one.

  2(5x-16) = 4x +34

  5x -16 = 2x +17 . . . . . divide by 2

  3x = 33 . . . . . . . . . . add 16-2x

  x = 11 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Then segment JL is ...

  JL = 4x +34 = 4(11) +34 = 44+34

  JL = 78

Ms. Hartline grades one math test every 1⁄4 hour. How many math tests does she grade in 2 hours? HELP QUICK!!
vazorg [7]

Answer:

8 maths tests

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We are told that in 1/4 hour that is 0.25hour (15 mins) She grades 1 math test

our aim is to find how many maths test she grade in 3 hours (120min)

Hence

in  15 mins she does 1 grading

in 120 mins she does x

cross multiply

15x= 120

divide both sides by 15

x= 120/15

x= 8 maths test

Hence in 2 hours, she can grade 8 maths tests

The employees of a firm that manufactures insulation are being tested for indications of asbestos in their lungs. The firm is re
diamong [38]

Answer:

0.070

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = number on trial

Y has a negative binomial distribution

r = 3

P = 30% = 0.3 probability of positive indication.

P(Y = 11) probability of 11 employees that must be tested to get 3 positives

Y-1Cr-1*p^r*q^(y-r)

Y-1 = 11-1 = 10

r-1 = 3 -1 = 2

10C2 x 0.3³x0.7⁸

45x0.027x0.05764801

= 0.070

This is the probability that 11 employees must be tested to get 3 positives.
