I am thinking of a rectangle that has the two sides parallel to one another. Set the two functions equal to one another, so

9x-14=7x+4

After a bunch of algebra and math magic, 2x=18 => x=9

So if you just insert 9 into both equations, both will end up with a value of 67, so it ends up looking like a right triangle. Don't do that. Instead, to find the rectangle widths, use 9x-4 (+10 added to intercept) instead, while keeping 7x+4, so that the intercepts match.

LN) 9x-4 = 9(9)-4 = 81-4 = 77
MP) 7(9)+4 = 63+4 = 67

*If you are also looking for the diagonals, use Pythagorean Theorem 77^2+67^2=(hypotenuse)^2*

Cameron is older than Hassan. Their ages are consecutive integers. Find Cameron's
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

So consecutive integers, just means they're separated by a value of 1. This can be generally expressed as "a, a+1" where these two values would be consecutive integers assuming "a" is an integer.

So let's express Hassan's age as the variable "x", since it's unknown. Since Cameron is older, and by definition of a consecutive integer, Cameron's can be expressed as "x+1"

So the equation we need to set up is Cameron's age + 5(Hassan's age) = 145

So we can substitute the variables we defined to express Cameron and Hassan's age: (x+1) + 5(x) = 145

Distribute the 5: x+1+5x

Add like terms: 6x+1 = 145

Subtract 1 from both sides: 6x=144

Divide both sides by 6: x=24

Since we used "x" to represent Hassan's age, Hassan's age is 24. Since we used "x+1" to represent Cameron's age, Cameron's age is "24+1" which is just 25

A game is played using ne die. If the die is rolled and shows 3, the player wins $45. If the die shows any number other than 3,
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

-$13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable of a count of player gain.

- We are told that if the die shows 3, the player wins $45.

- there is a charge of $9 to play the game

If he wins, he gains; 45 - 9 = $36

If he looses, he has a net gain which is a loss = -$9

Thus, the x-values are; (36, -9)

Probability of getting a 3 which is a win is P(X) = 1/6 since there are 6 numbers on the dice and probability of getting any other number is P(X) = 5/6

Thus;

E(X) = Σ(x•P(X)) = (1/6)(36) + (5/6)(-9)

E(X) = (1/6)(36 - (5 × 9))

E(X) = (1/6)(36 - 45)

E(X) = -9/6 = -3/2

E(X) = -3/2

This represents -3/2 of $9 = -(3/2) × 9 = - 27/2 = -$13.5
