Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Line l and m are two parallel lines cut across by the transversal line, therefore, the angle measuring 53° and (8x - 9)° are interior angles on the same side. Interior angles on the same side are supplementary.
Therefore:
53° + (8x - 9)° = 180°
Solve for x
53 + 8x - 9 = 180
Collect like terms
53 - 9 + 8x = 180
44 + 8x = 180
Subtract 44 from both sides
44 + 8x - 44 = 180 - 44
8x = 136
Divide both sides by 8
8x/8 = 136/8
x = 17
Answers:
1. There are rivets on the belts.
2. Extra information given in the problem:
a. He has 9 buckles.
b. He has 22 rivets left over.
Solution:
1. Total rivets on the belts=(12 rivets/belt)(4 belts)+(15 rivets/belt)(2 belts)
Total rivets on the belts=48 rivets+30 rivets
Total rivets on the belts=78 rivets
2. The extra information given in the problem is the information that we didn't use to solve it. In this case:
a. He has 9 buckles.
b. He has 22 rivets left over.
Since the dice are fair and the rolling are independent, each single outcome has probability 1/15. Every time we choose
We have 
and 
, because the dice are fair.
Now we use the assumption of independence to claim that
Now, we simply have to count in how many ways we can obtain every possible outcome for the sum. Consider the attached table: we can see that we can obtain:
- 2 in a unique way (1+1)
- 3 in two possible ways (1+2, 2+1)
- 4 in three possible ways
- 5 in three possible ways
- 6 in three possible ways
- 7 in two possible ways
- 8 in a unique way
This implies that the probabilities of the outcomes of 
are the number of possible ways divided by 15: we can obtain 2 and 8 with probability 1/15, 3 and 7 with probability 2/15, and 4, 5 and 6 with probabilities 3/15=1/5
