Answer

Find out the value of x.

To prove

Definition of mid- segment

It is a segment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle.

It is always parallel to the third side, and the length of the midsegment is half the length of the third side.

As shown in the triangle given below.

As given

DE = 5x and BC = 11x – 15

Thus

$DE = \frac{BC}{2}$

$5x = \frac{11x-15}{2}$

$5x\times 2 = 11x-15$

$10x = 11x-15$

15 = 11x - 10x

15 = x

Therefore the value of x is 15 .

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

There are 795 combinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways or combinations in which we can select k element from a group of n elements is given by:

$nCk=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

So, if Miriam want to choose 3 movies with at least two comedies, she have two options: Choose 2 comedies and 1 foreign film or choose 3 comedies.

Then, the number of combinations for every case are:

1. Choose 2 Comedies from the 10 and choose 1 foreign film from 15. This is calculated as:

$10C2*15C1=\frac{10!}{2!(10-8)!}*\frac{15}{1!(15-14)!}$

$10C2*15C1=675$

2. Choose 3 Comedies from the 10. This is calculated as:

$10C3=\frac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}=120$

Therefore, there are 795 combinations and it is calculated as:

675 + 120 = 795
