3(x)-5=x+5
3x=-5+5+x
3x=x
0=x

Four cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of you. Their faces (hidden) display the four elements: water, earth, wind

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

probability of winning is $\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is given , 4 cards are available, there are 4! mean total possible way of ordering is 24

following are the cases of loosing

1) first card is fire.

Thus there are 3! = mean 6 possible ways for particular ordering to occur.

2) If wind is first card and Fire is second. Then, There are 2! = 2 ways to occur.

Hence, the probabiIity of losing is given as $= \frac{6+2}{24}=\frac{1}{3}$

therefore probality of winning is $1 -\frac{1}{3}$

probality of winning is $\frac{2}{3}$

Solve for base. Is anyone willing to help? Show the steps if you can.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}\\\\\begin{array}{ccc}24&-&0.75\%\\\\x&-&100\%\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\\0.75x=(24)(100)\\0.75x=2400\qquad\text{divide both sides by 0.75}\\x=3200$

$\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\\\x-\text{the number}\\\\p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\to0.75\%=\dfrac{0.75}{100}=\dfrac{0.75\cdot100}{(100)(100)}=\dfrac{75}{10000}=\dfrac{75:25}{10000:25}=\dfrac{3}{400}\\\\0.75\%\ of\ x\ is\ equal\ to\ 24\\\\\dfrac{3}{400}x=24\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 400}\\\\3x=9600\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\x=3200$

Can someone help pleeeeaaassssse quickly<br>Also it's 15 points so yeah

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To get from the little triangle to the big one, multiply all the litte one's sides by 3.

So the corresponding side to 4 would be 4 * 3 = 12

The area of a right triangle is 1/2 * b * h

b = 9

h = 12

Area = 1/2 * 9 * 12

Area = 54
