All three sides are the same as indicated by the bars on them.
So
1/2x-2 =3/2x-12
x=10

It's an equilateral triangle, therefore

AB = BC = BA

We have the equation:

$\dfrac{3}{2}x-12=\dfrac{1}{2}x-2\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\3x-24=1x-4\qquad\text{add 24 to both sides}\\\\3x=x+20\qquad\text{subtract x from both sides}\\\\2x=20\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x=10$

$BC=BA\to BC=\dfrac{1}{2}(10)-2=5-2=3$

<h3>Answer: BC = 3</h3>

Two Social Security numbers (see Exercise 8.12) match zeros if a digit of one number is zero iff the corresponding digit of the

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Proved

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given parameters, we have:

$n = 9$ i.e. the length of each security numbers

$r = 2$ i.e. 2 security numbers

Required

In 513 security numbers, 2 must have matching zeros

To do this, we make use of Pigeonhole principle.

First, we calculate the number of all security numbers not having matching zeros.

Each of the 9 digits can be selected in 2 ways.

2 ways implies that each digit is either 0 or not

So, total selection is:

$Total = 2^9$

$Total = 512$

Apply Pigeonhole principle

The principle states that: suppose there are n items in m containers, where $n>m$ , then there is at least one container that contains more than 1 item.
