Answer: 49

Step-by-step explanation:

From your question, I think you mean the largest number. The answer is given below.

Let the five consecutive odd numbers be:

a, a+2, a+4, a+6 and a+8.

Thee sum of the first and double the last is 139. This can be written as:

a + 2(a+8) = 139

a + 2a + 16 = 139

3a + 16 = 139

3a = 139 - 16

3a = 123

a = 123/3

a = 41

The first number = 41

The largest number = a+8 = 41 + 8 = 49.

Marat540 [252]
Hello!

If there is 4 faces and 1/4 chance of any side end up face down, we just have to decrease one chance, so, the chance of  the face "2" does not end up face down is equal the sum of the chances of the others faces end up face down, so, we have: 3/4.

Find an equation of the sphere with center (4, −12, 8) and radius 10. use an equation to describe its intersection with each of
xxMikexx [17]
<span>Sphere: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 Intersection in xy-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 = 36 Intersection in xz-plane: DNE Intersection in yz-plane: (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 84 The desired equation is quite simple. Let's first create an equation for the sphere centered at the origin: x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 10^2 Now let's translate that sphere to the desired center (4, -12, 8). To do that, just subtract the center coordinate from the x, y, and z variables. So (x - 4)^2 + (y - -12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 10^2 (x - 4)^2 + (y - -12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 Might as well deal with that double negative for y, so (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 And we have the desired equation. Now for dealing with the coordinate planes. Basically, for each coordinate plane, simply set the coordinate value to 0 for the axis that's not in the desired plane. So for the xy-plane, set the z value to 0 and simplify. So let's do that for each plane: xy-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (0 - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (-8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + 64 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 = 36 xz-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (0 + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + 12^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + 144 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (x - 4)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = -44 And since there's no possible way to ever get a sum of 2 squares to be equal to a negative number, the answer to this intersection is DNE. This shouldn't be a surprise since the center point is 12 units from this plane and the sphere has a radius of only 10 units. yz-plane: (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (0 - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (-4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 16 + (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 100 (y + 12)^2 + (z - 8)^2 = 84</span>

AB is the angle bisector of ∠CAD. Solve for x.
Sliva [168]

Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB is a bisector, it cuts the angle in half, and since we know that the angle is a right angle, we know it’s 90 degrees, so knowing that you use the equation 7x-4= 45 (since 45 is half of 90), add 4 to both sides so you have 7x=49, the divide 49 by 7 and you get 7, so x= 7

irakobra [83]
<h3>Answer:  32</h3>

Work Shown:

1 pack of white = 2 shirts = A

1 pack of blue = 6 shirts

5 packs of blue = 5*6 = 30 shirts = B

A+B = 2 white shirts + 30 blue shirts = 32 shirts total
