2x+8x=30. x= #of pens
10x=30. combine like terms
x=3. divide by 10 to isolate (get by itself) x
2(3)=6. the # of white pens are represented by 2x
6 white pens
hope this helped!
If the two shortest sides of the triangle are 10in and 24in, then using Pythagoras' theorem, the longest side =
=

=

Now we know the two longest sides of the first triangle (24in and 26in) we can compare them with the two longest sides of the second triangle.
If

= the scale factor the first triangle is enlarged by then

and
⇒

Finally, we need to multiply the smallest side of the first triangle by the scale factor to find the shortest side of the second triangle.

So the length of the shortest side of the other triangle is 15in.
You could, instead, calculate the length of the shortest side of the second triangle by using Pythagoras' theorem and ignoring the first triangle completely.
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
25% of 42=25 divided by 100 x 42
25\100 x 42=10.5
Answer:
456
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X be the SATscore scored by the students
Given that X is normal (1000,200)
By converting into standard normal variate we can say that
is N(0,1)
To find the top 10% we consider the 90th percentile for z score
Z 90th percentile = 1.28

i.e. only students who scored 456 or above only should be considered.
