The ratio 9:7 gives you following statement:

  • Carl will win in 9 cases from 9+7=16;
  • Carl will lose in 7 cases from 16.

Then the probability that Carl will lose is

Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.

Answer: Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.

How to solve a one step equation of R+3= -6 1/2 <br> please show all the work
IgorC [24]
Solve for R:
R + 3 = -(1/2 + 6)
Put 1/2 + 6 over the common denominator 2. 1/2 + 6 = (2×6)/2 + 1/2:
R + 3 = -(2×6)/2 + 1/2
2×6 = 12:
R + 3 = -(12/2 + 1/2)
12/2 + 1/2 = (12 + 1)/2:
R + 3 = -(12 + 1)/2
12 + 1 = 13:
R + 3 = -13/2
Subtract 3 from both sides:
R + (3 - 3) = -13/2 - 3
3 - 3 = 0:
R = -13/2 - 3
Put -13/2 - 3 over the common denominator 2. -13/2 - 3 = (-13)/2 + (2 (-3))/2:
R = (-13)/2 - (3×2)/2
2 (-3) = -6:
R = (-6)/2 - 13/2
(-13)/2 - 6/2 = (-13 - 6)/2:
R = (-13 - 6)/2
-13 - 6 = -19:
Answer:  R = (-19)/2

-8 + 3h = 1 <br>i need help its a 2 step equation​
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

h = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 + 3h = 1

Add 8 to both sides.

3h = 1 + 8

Add 1 and 8 to get 9.

3h = 9

Divide both sides by 3.

h = \frac{9}{3}

Divide 9 by 3 to get 3.

h = 3

A triangle has 2 sides that are 9 inches and the bottom is 6 inches what is the height?
Elanso [62]

The height of the isosceles triangle is 8.49 inches.

<h3>How to find the height of the triangle?</h3>

Here we have a triangle such that two of the sides measure 9 inches, and the base measures 6 inches.

So this is an isosceles triangle.

We can divide the isosceles triangle into two smaller right triangles, such that the side that measures 9 inches is the hypotenuse, the base is 3 inches, and the height of the isosceles triangle is the other cathetus.

By Pythagorean's theorem, we can write:

(9in)^2 = (3 in)^2 + h^2

Where h is the height that we are trying to find.

Solving that for h we get:

h = √( (9 in)^2 - (3in)^2) = 8.49 inches.

We conclude that the height of the isosceles triangle is 8.49 inches.
