The above is 60 different ways, but now B C D E F G H I J have to come first, and the proses starts again, until we have covered them all. I'm not going to write them all out but in theory, there is 540 different ways. 9*60=540.

Solve for x. In the equation 9x +1/3= x-13
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+\frac{1}{3}=x-13

9x*3+1/3=x-13

27x+1/3=x-13

27x+1=3(x-13)

27x+1=3x-39

27x-3x=-39-1

24x=-40

x=-5/3

x=-5/3

Find X FIND Y<br> PlEase Help me

The X and Y angles created by lines intersection in the pictures are 18° and 54°.

Based on the picture, angle ∠MON is a right angle hence it has an 90° angle. We then know that the ∠MOA is 72°. Because angle ∠MOA lies within the angle ∠MON, hence we can write the following formula:

∠MON = ∠MOA +∠AON = 90°

∠MON = 72° + ∠AON = 90°

∠AON = 18° ... (i)

If we focus on the line CD being intersected by the line AB, hence we can conclude that the angles form by this intersection will follow these rules:

∠AOD = ∠BOC

∠AOC = ∠BOD

∠AOD + AOC = 180°

∠BOC + ∠BOD = 180°

Based on the picture, we know that:

∠BOC = x

∠AOC = ∠MOA + ∠MOC

∠AOC = 72° + y ...(ii)

∠AOD = ∠AON + ∠NOD

∠AOD = 18° +2x

∠BOC = 3x ... (iii)

Because we already know that ∠BOC = AOD, hence we could rewrite the formula into:

∠BOC = ∠AOD

3x = 18° + 2x

x = 18° ... (iv)

To find the value of y, we need to focus on angle ∠AOC. Based on the previous calculations and formulas, we  know that:

∠AOC + ∠BOC = 180° ... (v)

Input equations (ii) and (iv) into (v)

∠AOC + ∠BOC = 180°

(72° + y) + 3x = 180°

72° + y + 3(18°) = 180°

126° + y = 180°

y = 54° ... (vi)

A researcher investigates whether there is a relationship between hours of sleep and memory for photographs. The researcher assi
ehidna [41]

Answer:

It is the experimental condition.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the experiment given in the question, the amount of sleep is the independent variable and the number of photographs they remember is the dependent variable because it depends on the amount of sleep.

The 8 hours of sleep, which creates the difference in the experiment between the control group and the test group, is the experimental condition.

The experimental condition is the variable that is changed to let the researcher observe the effects on the dependent variable.

I hope this answer helps.

= (1- 1/5 - ¼) × 600

= (20/20 - 4/20 - 5/20)×600

= (11/20) ×600
