W=l-8
a=9
a=lw
9=(l-8)l
9=l²-8l
0=l²-8l-9
factor
0=(l-9)(l+1)
set to zero
l-9=0
l=9
l+1=0
l=-1, false length can't be negative


l=9
the length is 9 units long

What is the probability of rolling a number greater than or equal to 9 with the sum of two dice, given that at least one of the
olga55 [171]
Conditional probablility P(A/B) = P(A and B) / P(B). Here, A is sum of two dice being greater than or equal to 9 and B is at least one of the dice showing 6. Number of ways two dice faces can sum up to 9 = (3, 6), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6) = 10 ways. Number of ways that at least one of the dice must show 6 = (1, 6), (2, 6), (3, 6), (4, 6), (5, 6), (6, 6), (6, 5), (6, 4), (6, 3), (6, 2), (6, 1) = 11 ways. Number of ways of rolling a number greater than or equal to 9 and at least one of the dice showing 6 = (3, 6), (4, 6), (5, 6), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6) = 7 ways. Probability of rolling a number greater than or equal to 9 given that at least one of the dice must show a 6 = 7 / 11

One eighth of a number is ten less than one third of the number. Find the number.
GarryVolchara [31]
X/8 - 10 = x/3

bring the values with the variable on one side

x/3 - x/8 = 10

find a common denominator and subtract these fractions

8x/24 - 3x/24 = -10

now subtract fractions

8x - 3x = 5x

5x/24 = -10

multiply both sides by 24

5x = -240

divide both sides by 5

x = -48

the number is -48

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

5,376in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

find the volume of the smaller box first

10×4×12 = 480in^3

find volume of bigger box

17×12×24 = 4,896in^3

add both volumes 4,896 +480 = 5,376in^3

Write the equation of the line shown in point-slope form. (2,1) (3,8)
Ulleksa [173]

<u>Answer:</u>

The line equation that passes through the given points is 7x – y = 13

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Two points are A(2, 1) and B(3, 8).

To find:

The line equation that passes through the given two points.

Solution:

We know that, general equation of a line passing through two points (x1, y1), (x2, y2) in point slope form is given by

\frac{(y- y1)}{(x-x_1)}= \frac{((y_2- y_1)}{(x_2- x_1 )}

{(y- y1)= \frac{((y_2- y_1)}{(x_2- x_1 )}\times(x-x_1)..........(1)

here, in our problem x1 = 3, y1 = 8, x2 = 2 and y2 = 1.

Now substitute the values in (1)

(y-8) = \frac{(1 - 8)}{(2 - 3)}\times(x- 3)

(y -8) = \frac{(- 7)}{(-1)}(x-3)

y – 8 = 7(x – 3)

y – 8 = 7x – 21  

7x – y = 21 – 8  

7x – y = 13  

Hence, the line equation that passes through the given points is 7x – y = 13
