Let's say the larger number is x. that means that the smaller number is x - 3. since you know their sum is x + x - 3, and that is equal to 14. so you have the equation x + x - 3 = 14. combine like terms (x) to get 2x - 3 = 14. add three to both sides to get 2x = 17. divide both sides by two to get x = 17/2. so the larger number is 17/2, and the larger number is 11/2 (17/2 - 3 = 11/2)

∆ABC and ∆FDE are congruent by the criterion. (Use the three-letter abbreviation without spaces.)
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

x = 11, y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC and ΔFDE are congruent by the postulate SSS

Equate the congruent sides in the 2 triangles

BC = ED, that is

x + 3 = 14 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = 11

-------------------------------------

DF = AB, that is

x - y = 3 ← substitute x = 11

11 - y = 3 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

- y = 3 - 11 = - 8 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

y = 8

Hitung jarak di antara titik P(7, 1) dengan titik Q(7, 8) ​
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between 2 points

=\sqrt{(y1 - y2)^{2}  + (x1 - x2) {}^{2} }

Thus, distance PQ

=\sqrt{(8 - 1)^{2}  + (7 - 7)^{2} }  \\ = \sqrt{7^{2} }  \\  = 7

Or you could simply take 8-1= 7 since both points have the same x-coordinate. Thus, PQ is a vertical line and the distance between them is due to the difference in their y-coordinate.

When rolling two six faced dice, what is the probability the sum equal to seven?
Liono4ka [1.6K]
What you want is P(6∩1) or P(1∩6) or P(2∩5) or P(5∩2) or P(3∩4) or P(4∩3).
The events of rolling the dice are independent (i.e. they don't affect one another) so:
E.g.
P(6∩1) = P(6) * P(1)
P(2∩5) = P(2) *  P(5)
The probability of getting a given number on a roll is 1/6 for both dice.
So:
P(6∩1) = 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36
This is the same for any arrangement of numbers you could get from rolling two dice.
So, we can see that there are 6 arrangements of numbers that will give a sum of 7 and so that is 6 * 1/36 = 6/36 = 1/6
