So since they are similar
AC/BC=CD/CE

so
(66-x)/30=(x+4)/5
times both sides by 5
(66-x)/6=x+4
times both sides by 6
66-x=6(x+4)
distribute
66-x=6x+24
add x to both sides
66=7x+24
minus 24 from both sides
42=7x
divide both sides by 7
6=x
x=6 units

Answer:

y = $\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{54}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line has been given as,

$y=\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{3}{5}$

Here, slope of the line = $\frac{4}{5}$

y-intercept = $\frac{3}{5}$

"If the two lines are parallel, there slopes will be equal"

By this property slope of the parallel line to the given line will be equal.

Therefore, slope 'm' = $\frac{4}{5}$

Since, slope intercept form of a line is,

y = mx + b

Therefore, equation of the parallel line will be,

y = $\frac{4}{5}x+b$

Since, this line passes through a point (-6, 6),

6 = $\frac{4}{5}(-6)+b$

6 = $-\frac{24}{5}+b$

b = $6+\frac{24}{5}$

b = $\frac{30+24}{5}$

b = $\frac{54}{5}$

Equation of the parallel line will be,

y = $\frac{4}{5}x+\frac{54}{5}$

<span>Standard deviation shows the distribution present in a set. Range can be used to approximate this property. Therefore, Set b (100, 140, 150, 160, 200 10, 50, 60, 70, 110) has the largest standard deviation because it has a range of 190 (i.e. 200 - 10)</span>
