Answer:

A) 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the width: 6 and multiply it 3 times because it says triple.

That gives you: 6 * 3 = 18

Then subtract 4 because it says four inches less than.

That gives you: 18 - 4 = 14

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the box is = x inches

Let the width of the box = y inches

"The length of the box is 4 inches less than triple of its width"

x = 3y - 4

"Box is 6 inches wide"

y = 6 inches

By putting y = 6 in the equation

x = 3×6 - 4

  = 18 - 4

  = 14 inches.

Therefore, Length of the box is 14 inches.

Option A. is the answer.

You pick 5 digits (0-9) at random without replacement, and write them in the order picked. What is the probability that you have
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Probability is : 1/30240= 0.000033068

Step-by-step explanation:

You pick 5 digits (0-9) at random without replacement, and write them in the order picked.

The probability that you have written the first 5 digits of your phone number is -

As there are no repeats, the choice to choose from decreases at each step making it 10,9,8,7,6.

(1/10)(1/9)(1/8)(1/7)(1/6)=1/30240= 0.000033068

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles shown are alternate exterior angles.

Alternate exterior angles are congruent

This means that 46 must equal 3x - 14

Note that we've just created an equation that we can use to solve for

We now use the equation to solve for x

3x - 14 = 46

add 14 to both sides

3x - 14 + 14 = 46 + 14

simplify

3x = 60

Divide both sides by 3

3x / 3 = x

60 / 3 = 20

We get that x = 20

-9 + x = 5x - 7

     -x      -x

-9=4x-7

+7         +7

-2=4x

-2/4 =4x/4

-1/2=x

Consider the following statement: The square of a prime number is not prime. (a) Write this as an if-then statement, using caref
Hitman42 [59]

The square of a prime number is not prime.

a) let x ∈ R, If x  ∈ {prime numbers}, then x^{2}∉{prime numbers}

there says that if x is a real and x is in the set of the prime numbers, then the square of x isn't in the set of prime numbers.

b) Prove or disprove the statement.

ok, if x is a prime number, then x only can be divided by himself. Now is easy to see that x^{2} = x*x can be divided by himself and x, then x*x is not a prime number, because can be divided by another number different than himself
