Answer:

x = 20/49 units; P = 8 48/49 units

Step-by-step explanation:

All sides of a square are congruent.

That means that the two given side lengths are equal.

We set the two lengths equal and solve the equation for x.

5.5x = (1/5)(3x + 10)

Multiply both sides by 5.

27.5x = 3x + 10

Subtract 3x from both sides.

24.5x = 10

x = 10/24.5

x = 20/49

The perimeter of a square is 4s, where s is the length of a side.

P = 4s

= 4(5.5x)

= 4 * 5.5 * 20/49

= 22 * 20/49

= 440/49

= 8 48/49

Answer: x = 20/49 units; P = 8 48/49 units

Kali spent half of her weekly allowance on clothes. To earn more money her parents let her clean the gutters for $9. What is her

Ber [7]

So to find the answer to this, you have to consider that $\frac{1}{2} x + 9 = 13$ - half because half the pocket money (x) was spend on clothes, then plus 9 because that's how much extra she gained and 13 because that was the result of all the changes.

To solve this, first subtract 9 from both side, which leaves you with $\frac{1}{2} x = 4$ and $\frac{1}{2} x$ is the same as $\frac{1x}{2}$ , so to solve this, multiply both sides of the equation by two, resulting in $x = 8$ . SO from this we can conclude that the weekly allowance is $8

I need hellpp i need to know what the angle is and what x is

mestny [16]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 marked angles are Alternate exterior angles ( they are outside the parallel lines ) and are congruent, that is

10x = 9x + 7 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

x = 7

The life in hours of a 75-watt light bulb is known to be normally distributed with standard deviation σ = 25 hours. A random sam

irina [24]

Answer: a) (1008.34,1019.658) b) (1009.24,1018.76)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 75

mean = 1014 hours

Standard deviation = 25 hours

At 95% two sided , z = 1.96

So, confidence interval would be

$\bar{x}\pm z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1014\pm 1.96\dfrac{25}{\sqrt{75}}\\\\=1014\pm 5.658\\\\=(1014-5.658,1014+5.658)\\\\=(1008.34,1019.658)$

(b) Construct a 95% lower confidence bound on the mean life.

z = 1.65

So, confidence interval would be

$\bar{x}\pm z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1014\pm 1.65\times \dfrac{25}{\sqrt{75}}\\\\=1014\pm 4.76\\\\=(1014-4.76,1014+4.76)\\\\=(1009.24,1018.76)$

Hence, a) (1008.34,1019.658) b) (1009.24,1018.76)

Pls help will be epik

DiKsa [7]

13 units.

Since both are negative, and they’re just asking for distance between, you can just subtract 12 from 25 to get 13.
