Side 1 = short side = 2x-3
side 2 = longer side = (short side) + 6 = (2x-3)+6 = 2x+3
side 3 = side 2 = 2x+3

Side 2 and side 3 are the longer two congruent sides

Add up the three sides and set them equal to the given perimeter of 33. Solve for x

(side1)+(side2)+(side3) = perimeter
(2x-3)+(2x+3)+(2x+3) = 33
(2x+2x+2x) + (-3+3+3) = 33
6x+3 = 33
6x+3-3 = 33-3
6x = 30
6x/6 = 30/6
x = 5

If x = 5, then the longer sides are 2*x+3 = 2*5+3 = 10+3 = 13 inches each
(note: the short side is 2*x-3=2*5-3=10-3 = 7 inches)

Answer: 13 inches

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

(8x-8)3/2=64

(24x-8)/2=64 -You are distributing the three

12x-4=64 -You divide the whole thing by two

12x=60 -You subtract the four from both sides

x=5 - You divided the twelve from both sides

Hope this helps!

steposvetlana [31]

Cards are drawn, one at a time, from a standard deck; each card is replaced before the next one is drawn. Let X be the number of draws necessary to get an ace. Find E(X) is given in the following way

Step-by-step explanation:

  • From a standard deck of cards, one card is drawn. What is the probability that the card is black and a jack? P(Black and Jack)  P(Black) = 26/52 or ½ , P(Jack) is 4/52 or 1/13 so P(Black and Jack) = ½ * 1/13 = 1/26
  • A standard deck of cards is shuffled and one card is drawn. Find the probability that the card is a queen or an ace.

P(Q or A) = P(Q) = 4/52 or 1/13 + P(A) = 4/52 or 1/13 = 1/13 + 1/13 = 2/13

  • WITHOUT REPLACEMENT: If you draw two cards from the deck without replacement, what is the  probability that they will both be aces?

P(AA) = (4/52)(3/51) = 1/221.

  • WITHOUT REPLACEMENT: What is the probability that the second card will be an ace if the first card is a  king?

P(A|K) = 4/51 since there are four aces in the deck but only 51 cards left after the king has been  removed.

  • WITH REPLACEMENT: Find the probability of drawing three queens in a row, with replacement. We pick  a card, write down what it is, then put it back in the deck and draw again. To find the P(QQQ), we find the

probability of drawing the first queen which is 4/52.

  • The probability of drawing the second queen is also  4/52 and the third is 4/52.
  • We multiply these three individual probabilities together to get P(QQQ) =
  • P(Q)P(Q)P(Q) = (4/52)(4/52)(4/52) = .00004 which is very small but not impossible.
  • Probability of getting a royal flush = P(10 and Jack and Queen and King and Ace of the same suit)
