Answer:

Taylor = 50%

Moore = 25%

Jenkins = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming there are no other candidates and that someone has to win the election, the probabilities of Taylor, Moore, and Jenkins winning the election must add up to 1 or 100%.

T+M+J = 1\\

Since Moore and Jenkins have about the same probability of winning, and Taylor is believed to be twice as likely to win as either of the others:

M=J\\T=2J\\J+J+2J=1\\J=0.25\\M=J=0.25\\T=2*0.25=0.5

Taylor has a probability of 50% of winning the election.

Moore has a probability of 25% of winning the election.

Jenkins has a probability of 25% of winning the election.

Y+y+17+111+90=360
2y+128+90=360
2y=360-218
2y=142
y=142/2
y=71
thus, the angles are 71, 90, 111, 88.

Explanation: You’ll have to find where the original product can be rooted. 36 & 2. 36 is a perfect square, so it becomes 6.

Then 6 is on the outside, while two is inside.
Don’t forget the negative.
