Answer:

The value of x is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let B be between A and C.

$AB = 3x + 5$

$BC = 5x - 1$

$AC = 36$

To Find:

x=?

Solution:

B be between A and C as shown in Figure

A-B-C such that

$AC=AB+BC$ ...........Line Addition Property

Substituting the given values we get

$36=3x+5+5x-1=8x+4\\\\\therefore 8x=36-4=32\\\\\therefore x=\dfrac{32}{8}=4\\\\\therefore x=4$

The value of x is 4.

Stells [14]

Answer: p=0

Step-by-step explanation: Hope this help :D

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−1=p−1

Step 1: Flip the equation.

p−1=−1

Step 2: Add 1 to both sides.

p−1+1=−1+1

p=0

On a coordinate plane, parallelogram H I J K is shown. Point H is at (negative 2, 2), point I is at (4, 3), point J is at (4, ne

4vir4ik [10]

Answer: HIJK is a parallelogram because the midpoint of both diagonals is (1,0) , which means the diagonals bisect each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The coordinates of parallelogram H I J K as

H is at (- 2, 2), point I is at (4, 3), point J is at (4, - 2), and point K is at (- 2, - 3).

Diagonals : HJ and IK [join opposite vertices]

Mid point of HJ = $(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

$=(\dfrac{-2+4}{2},\dfrac{2+(-2)}{2})=(1,0)$

i.e. Mid point of HJ = (1,0)

Mid point of IK = $(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

$=(\dfrac{4+(-2)}{2},\dfrac{3+(-3)}{2})=(1,0)$

i.e. Mid point of IK = (1,0) =Mid point of HJ

When mid points of both diagonals are equal then that means the diagonals bisect each other.

Thus, HIJK is a parallelogram because the midpoint of both diagonals is (1,0) , which means the diagonals bisect each other.

The population of weights of a particular fruit is normally distributed, with a mean of 464 grams and a standard deviation of 6

igomit [66]

Answer:

If 27 fruits are picked at random, then 2% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than 466.37 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = $\mu = 464$

Standard deviation = $\sigma = 6$

We are supposed to find If 27 fruits are picked at random, then 2% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than how many grams i.e.P(X>x)=0.02

The mean weight is in the highest 2%, you want to go to a z-table and find the z-score that where the area to the left of the curve is closest to 0.98.

n = 27

Refer the z -table

P(Z>x)=2.06

$\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}=2.06\\\frac{x-464}{\frac{6}{\sqrt{27}}}=2.06\\x-464=2.06 \times \frac{6}{\sqrt{27}}\\x=(2.06 \times \frac{6}{\sqrt{27}})+464\\x=466.37$

So, If 27 fruits are picked at random, then 2% of the time, their mean weight will be greater than 466.37 grams
