First what you have to do is convert 2/5 and 1/10 to equal fractions

2/5 = 4/10

4x+4=\10=1/10

Next subtract 4/10 on both sides

4x = 3/10

Then divide both sides by 4
Which is

X= .075

5x+2/5=x-1/10

Convert 2/5 and -1/10 to equal fractions.

2/5= 4/10

5x+4/10= x-1/10

Subtract x on both sides.

4x+4/10= 1/10

Subtract 4/10 on both sides.

4x=-3/10

Divide both sides by 4.

x=-0.075

I hope this helps!

Which of these conditions might be true if polygons ABCD and KLMN are similar?

White raven [17]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of the similarity of two polygons,

1). All angles of one polygon will be equal to the angles of the other polygon.

2). Their corresponding sides will be in the same ratio.

If the measures of corresponding angles of KLMN and ABCD are equal, but the lengths of the corresponding sides of ABCD are half those of KLMN,

Then the polygons ABCD and KLMN will be similar.

Option A will be the answer.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

A person must get an IQ score of at least 138.885 to qualify.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 115, \sigma = 17$
