we have that


*-------------------------*--------------------------------*

E                            F                                     G


EF=2x-12

FG= 3x-15

EG=23


we know that


EF + FG = EG


so

[2x - 12] + [3x - 15] = 23 simplify

5x - 27 = 23 add 27 to both sides

5x = 50 divide both sides by 5

x = 10

EF=2x-12-------> EF=2*10-12-------> EF=8

FG= 3x-15------> FG=3*10-15------> FG=15



therefore


the answer part a) is

the value of x is 10


the answer part b) is

the value of EF is 8


the answer part c) is

the value of FG is 15

A angles of an equilateral triangle are congruent. If x represents the measure of the third angle of the triangle, what is x?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x is the measure of the third angle and all 3 angles are congruent then

All 3 angles have a measure of x

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, this

x + x + x = 180 ← is the required equation

3x = 180 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 60

When two dice are rolled, what is the probability the two numbers will have a sum of 5?
ira [324]

When two dice are rolled, then possible outcomes are

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

Total possible outcomes = 36

In that, we count the ordered pairs that give us sum 5

(1,4) (2,3) (3,2) and (4,1) = 4 outcomes

Probability = (number of times the event occurs)/ (total number of outcomes)

P( sum of 5) = \frac{4}{36} = \frac{1}{9}
