Answer:

x=5 so x+1 = 6 and x+3 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

It's all about proportions. These are similar triangles, so corresponding sides are proportional. Basically you want to solve an equation $\frac{x+1}{x+3} = \frac{3}{4}$

Let me know if you cannot see how EG corresponds to GH or how EF corresponds to IH.

Anyway, from here we just solve. Again, let me know if you have any questions.

4(x + 1) = 3(x + 3)

4x + 4 = 3x + 9

x = 5

And you can check

[tex]\frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}[/tex

There are 21 ways Tim choose 2 books from the 7 recommended book

Solution:

Given that Tim must read 2 books from a list of 7 recommended books for his summer reading program

To find: different ways can Tim choose 2 books from the 7 recommended books

This is a combination problem

A combination is a selection of all or part of a set of objects, without regard to the order in which objects are selected

The formula for combinations is:

$n C_{r}=\frac{n !}{r !(n-r) !}$

where n represents the number of items, and r represents the number of items being chosen at a time

Here we have to choose 2 books from 7 books

Therefore, n = 7 and r = 2

Substituting values in above formula, we get

$\begin{aligned}&7 C_{2}=\frac{7 !}{2 !(7-2) !}\\\\&7 C_{2}=\frac{7 !}{2 ! \times 5 !}\end{aligned}$

For a number n, the factorial of n can be written as,

$n !=n \times(n-1) \times(n-2) \dots \dots \times 2 \times 1$

Therefore, we get

$7 C_{2}=\frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}\\\\7C_2 = 7 \times 3 = 21$

Thus there are 21 ways Tim choose 2 books from the 7 recommended book

What is the variable used to predict another variable called________.A. Independent variableB. Dependent variableC. Moderating v

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

A. Independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

The prediction of a variable can be done if we have the independent variable. Which is the required variable that is used to determine the value of the other variable. The variable to be predicted is dependent on the required variable.

An independent variable can also be referred to as a predictor variable. When its value is known, it can be used to obtain the dependent variable.
