<span>Answer: P(famine | plague) = P(famine and plague) / P(plague) = (0.15) / (0.39) = 0.385</span>

The triangles are not similar because the smallest sides are 6/10 = 3/5, the medium sides are 8/24 = 1/3, and the longest sides are 10/26 = 5/13 and similar triangles must have the same ratio for all three sides.

Solve the equation: <br><br> 9 (x − 9)−3 = −4 (2x + 4)<br><br> 4<br><br> -4<br><br> 100<br><br> 68

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying BODMAS here;

We first solve what is in the brackets:

9x - 81 -3 = -8x - 16

We then put the like terms together:

9x + 8x = -16 + 81 + 3

We then do the addition:

17x = -16 + 84

We then do the subtraction:

17x = 68

Simplifying this gives:

x = $\frac{68}{17}$ = 4

Finish this 3,9,4,12,7,21,16

steposvetlana [31]

The pattern is that every 2 numbers are a pair, the first being any selected number, and the second number next to is the number times 3.

3 x 3 = 9
4 x 3 =12
7 x 3 = 21
Therefor we type 16 x 3 = 48

48 is your next number.
