This is simple. First we write the equation as:
3x+7x+8x = 72.
We now simplify terms to get:
18x=72
Divide and get
x=4.

Sadly, more work is needed. We now need to plug in the variables into the ratio
3*4=12
4*7=28
4*8=32
So the side lengths are 12 in., 28 in., and 32 in. respectively

Answer:


The sides of the triangle are :
<span>24cm,28cm</span> and <span>36cm</span>


Explanation:

The ration of lengths are: <span>6:7:9</span>

Let the sides be denoted as:
<span>6x,7x</span> and <span>9x</span>

The perimeter <span>=88cm</span>

<span>6x+7x+9x=88</span>

<span>22x=88</span>

<span>x = </span>\frac{88}{22}

<span>x=4</span>

The sides can be found as follows:
<span>6x=6×4=24cm</span>

<span>7x=7×4=28cm</span>

<span>9x=9×4=36c<span>m</span></span>

it costs $15 per month for membership at a baseball club. Members pay $5 for game tickets. Write an expression for the cost of 1
julia-pushkina [17]
Y=15+5g Y is the total cost in one month. 15 is the cost of the membership and 5 is the amount you paid to see the game. G is the variable for the amount of games. You multiple the g by 5 to get the total cost of games per a month that you went and saw. Than you add the base cost of 15 or your starting point. And you get your total cost.

A library subscribes to two different weekly news magazines, each of which is supposed to arrive in Wednesday�s mail. In actuali
Softa [21]

Answer:

P(Y = 0) = 0.09

P(Y = 1) = 0.4

P(Y = 2) = 0.32

P(Y = 3) = 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the events be:

W = Wednesday

T = Thursday

F = Friday

S = Saturday

Their corresponding probabilities are

P(W) = 0.3\\P(T) = 0.4\\P(F) = 0.2\\P(S) = 0.1

Since Y = number of days beyond Wednesday that it takes for both magazines to arrive(so possible Y values are 0, 1, 2 or 3)

The possible number of outcomes are therefore 4^2 = 16\\(W, W), (W, T), (W, F), (W, S)\\(T, W), (T, T), (T, F), (T, S)\\(F, W), (F, T), (F, F), (F, S)\\(S, W), (S, T), (S, F), (S, S)

The values associated for each of the outcomes are as follows:

Y(W, W) = 0, Y(W, T) = 1, Y(W, F) = 2, Y(W, S) = 3\\Y(T, W) = 1, Y(T, T) = 1, Y(T, F) = 2, Y(T, S) = 3\\Y(F, W) = 2, Y(F, T) = 2, Y(F, F) = 2, Y(F, S) = 3\\Y(S, W) = 3, Y(S, T) = 3, Y(S, F) = 3, Y(S, S) = 3

The probability mass function of Y is,

P(Y = 0) = 0.3(0.3) = 0.09\\P(Y = 1) = P[(W, T) or (T, W) or (T, T)]\\= [0.3(0.4) + 0.3(0.4) + 0.4(0.4)]\\= 0.4\\\\P(Y = 2) = P[(W, F) or (T, F) or (F, W) or (F, T) or (F, F)]\\= [0.3(0.2) + 0.4(0.2) + 0.2(0.3) + 0.2(0.4) + 0.2(0.2)]\\= 0.32\\\\P(Y = 3) = P[(W, S) or (T, S) or (F, S) or (S, W) or (S, T) or (S, F) or (S, S)]\\= [0.3(0.1) + 0.4(0.1) + 0.2(0.1) + 0.1(0.3) 0.1(0.4) + 0.1(0.2) + 0.1(0.1)]\\= 0.19

What is the recursive formula for the geometric sequence with this explicit formula?
IRINA_888 [86]

For the given geometric sequence, we have:

a_1 = 9\\\\a_n = (-1/3)*a_{n-1}

So the correct option is B.

<h3>Which is the recursive formula?</h3>

Here we have the geometric sequence:

a_n = 9*(-\frac{1}{3} )^{(n - 1)}

To get the initial value of the geometric sequence, we just need to replace n by 1, so we get:

a_1 = 9*(-\frac{1}{3} )*(1 - 1) = 9

Now, notice that the common ratio is (-1/3), this means that each term of the sequence is (-1/3) times the previous term.

a_n = (-1/3)*a_{n-1}

Then the correct option is B.
