<span>33/532 or approximately 6.2% that both Sue and Jim will get red gumballs. For the purpose of this problem, going to group the gumballs into 2 sets. Red and anything else. The number of non-red gumballs is 50 + 150 + 100 = 300 The number of red gumballs is 100. So what's the probability of 2 random picks both being a red gumball. For the 1st pick, it's a simple matter of 100/400 = 1/4. For the second pick it's slightly more complicated since there's now only 99 red gumballs. So it's 99/399 = 33/133 To get the combined probability, just multiply them together. 33/133 * 1/4 = 33/532 which is approximately 6.2%</span>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the triangle sum theorem, the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180°. Therefore, m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°. Using the Substitution property

(6x)° + 90° + (x+6)° = 180°

To solve for x, first combine the terms to get (7x + 96) = 180°

Using the Subtraction property of equality,

7x = 84.

Then using the division property of equality x = 12.

To find the measure of angle A,

Use the subtraction property to get m∠A = 6(12)°.

Finally simplifying the expression gets m∠A = 72°.
