Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Because this is a right triangle, one angle is a right angle (90°). All triangles have all three angle measures adding up to 180°, so the other two angles' measures add up to 90° (90 + 90 = 180).
Combine like terms of the angle measures.
6x + 9x = 15x
-3 + (-12) = -15
15x - 15
Because the sum of the measures of the two angles have to equal 90,
15x - 15 = 90
Add 15 from both sides.
15x = 105
Divide both sides by 15.
x = 7
To check, substitute 7 in both expressions.
6(7) - 3 = 39
9(7) - 12 = 51
39 + 51 + 90 (the measure of the right angle) = 180, so the value of x is 7.

Answer:
a) 0.0016
b) 0.0224
Step-by-step explanation:
If every question has 5 possible answers, the probability of getting the correct answer by guessing would be 0.20. The probability of getting an incorrect answer would be 0.80.
a)Find the probability she lucks out and answers all four questions correctly.
To do this, Allison would have to guess right the first, second, third AND fourth answers. Therefore, we have to multiply the probabilities:
0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 = 0.0016
The probability that she answers all 4 questions correctly is 0.0016.
b) Find the probability that she passes the quiz.
To pass the quiz, she has to have three OR 4 correct answers:
- The probability that she has 3 correct answers is: 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.80 (since she has to have 1 correct answer and 1 incorrect one) = .0064.
- We already calculated the probability that she guesses 4 answers correctly: 0.0016.
Now, we have to sum up these two scenarios:
0.0064 + 0.016 = 0.0224.
Thus, the probability that she passes the quiz is 0.0224
Answer and work down below. Let me know if you have any questions
The nails less than 2 inches long are the ones that are 1/2”, 1”, and 1 1/2”, if I am reading the table correctly.
4 x 1/2” = 2”
2 x 1” = 2”
2 x 1 1/2” = 3”
2 + 2 + 3 = 7 inches
Answer:
-1/3 < x <(or equal to) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly divide your inequality into two separate inequalities...
1) -1 < 6x + 1...then solve for the first one..,which then gives you....;
-2 < 6x....which gives us our first solution (x > -1/3)
Then the second inequality
2) 6x + 1 <(or equal to) 13
which then gives you....,
6x <(or equal to) 12...which then gives our second solution...( x <(or equal to) 2)
Then combine the two solutions into a compound solution
-1/3 < x <(or equal to) 2
