You have 9 pieces of wood of different lengths that you are attempting to glue together that will have a length of exactly 10 in

ches. The straw lengths are 1 inch, 2 inches, 3 inches, 4 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches, 7 inches, 8 inches, and 9 inches. What is the probability that you randomly choose one piece of wood keep it then randomly choose the second one to give you a total length of 10 inches. (*Hint* Make a list of the combinations that will add up to 10.) Part 1: Express the probability of the 1st chosen piece of wood. Express the probability of the 2nd chosen piece of wood. Part 2: Explain how you arrived at the above probabilities. Part 3: Express your result in lowest terms.

The possible combinations are:
1,9
2,8
3,7
4,6
9,1
8,2
7,3
6,4

Total straws: 9
Probability of first being 1: 1/9
Probability of second being 9: 1/8
Probability of both: 1/9 x 1/8 = 1/72

This will be multiplied by 8 as there are 8 possible combinations:
8 x 1/72
= 8/72
= 1/9

Help please! I just need to know how to do this step by step...
Alex787 [66]

-8 - 5n = 64 + 3n

    +5n          +5n           add 5n to both sides, 5n's cancel out on the left.

______________

-8 = 64 + 8n

-64 -64                          subtract 64 on both sides, 64's cancel out on the right.

______________

-72 = 8n

___  ___                       divide 8 on both sides, 8's cancel out from the right.

 8      8

n= -9, final answer

Please help and give a reasonable answer.
Lerok [7]

Answer: the median and they should predict size 8

Step-by-step explanation:

It is this answer because if you put the numbers in order from least to greatest and then start to find the median you will get two answers for the median and the numbers you should get are two 8 so then you add the two 8's up and then you get 16 so then you divide it by 2 and you will get 8 and that is your answer.

How many solutions can be found for the equation −4x − 11 = 2(x − 3x) + 13?
Allushta [10]
-4x - 11 = 2(x - 3x) + 13
-4x - 11 = 2x - 6x + 13
-4x - 11 = -4x + 13
-4x + 4x = 13 + 11
0 = 24...incorrect......no solutions for this problem

Find the value of each variable. Assume it is a 45 45 90 triangle. Round to the nearest tenth.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

x = 6

y = 45 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the measure of x and y

For a 45-45-90 triangle, the measure of each of the internal angle asides the right angle is 45 degrees

This mean y is 45

To get x, we know we have an isosceles triangle

So the length of the third ungiven leg is x too

Mathematically, the square of the hypotenuse (side facing the right angle) is equal the sum of the squares of the two other sides

(6 √2)^2 = x^2 + x^2

72 = 2x^2

x^2 = 72/2

x^2 = 36

x = √36

x = 6
