Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides:

5a + 8 + (-2a) = -7

(5a + -2a) + 8 = -7

3a + 8 = -7

Start solving for a by subtracting 8 from both sides

3a+8-8 = -7 - 8

3a = -15

Next, divide both sides by 3

3a/3 = 1

-15/3 = -5

a = -5

Answer:

5a+8+(-2a)=-7

5a+8-2a=-7

5a-2a=-7-8

3a=-15

3a/3=-15/3

a=-5

Help!!!!!! Find x and y so the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Conclusion:

  • The value of x = 7
  • The value of y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • The parallelogram PQRS

We know that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Therefore,

  • RT = TP

Given RT = x and TP = 5x-28, so

x = 5x-28

5x = x+28

5x-x = 28

4x = 28

divide boh sides by 4

4x/4 = 28/4

x = 7

Thus, the value of x = 7

Similarly,

QT = TS

Given QT = 5y and TS = 2y+12, so

5y = 2y+12

5y-2y = 12

3y = 12

divide both sides by 3

3y/3 = 12/3

y = 4

Thus, the value of y = 4

Conclusion:

  • The value of x = 7
  • The value of y = 4

An exceptionally bright high school student has applied for two scholarships: a merit scholarship and an athletic scholarship. H
9966 [12]

Answer:

a) 0.70

b) 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Let M be the event that student get merit scholarship and A be the event that student get athletic scholarship.

P(M)=0.3

P(A)=0.6

P(M∩A)=0.08

P(not getting merit scholarships)=P(M')=?

P(not getting merit scholarships)=1-P(M)

P(not getting merit scholarships)=1-0.3

P(not getting merit scholarships)=0.7

The probability that student not get the merit scholarship is 70%.

b)

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=P(M or A)=P(M∪A)

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=P(M)+P(A)-P(M∩A)

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.3+0.6-0.08

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.9-0.08

P(getting at least one of two scholarships)=0.82

The probability that student gets at least one of two scholarships is 82%.
