Answer: Angle A = 120° and angle C = 45°

Step-by-step explanation: The first thing to note at the back of our minds is that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle equals 180°. Given that the three angle are available, we can start by adding them all together. Hence,

{12x + 12} + 15 + {3x + 18} = 180

12x + 12 + 15 + 3x + 18 = 180

By collecting like terms, we arrive at,

12x + 3x + 12 + 15 + 18 = 180

15x + 45 = 180

Subtract 45 from both sides of the equation

15x = 135

Divide both sides of the equation by 15

x = 9

At this point, we can now substitute for the value of x = 9 in the expressions representing angles A and C.

Angle A = 12x + 12

= 12(9) + 12

= 108 + 12

= 120

Angle A = 120°

Angle C = 3x + 18

= 3(9) + 18

= 27 + 18

= 45

Angle C = 45°

1.Solve the equation. Check for extraneous solutions.

elena55 [62]

Okay so I did the math.

1. Two solutions were found :
z=-1
z=2/3
Step 1 :Rearrange this Absolute Value Equation

Absolute value equalitiy entered
|2z-3| = 4z-1

Step 2 :Clear the Absolute Value Bars

Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.

The Absolute Value term is |2z-3|

For the Negative case we'll use -(2z-3)

For the Positive case we'll use (2z-3)

Step 3 :Solve the Negative Case

      -(2z-3) = 4z-1

     Multiply
      -2z+3 = 4z-1

     Rearrange and Add up
      -6z = -4

     Divide both sides by 6
      -z = -(2/3)

     Multiply both sides by (-1)
      z = (2/3)
     Which is the solution for the Negative Case

Step 4 :Solve the Positive Case

      (2z-3) = 4z-1

     Rearrange and Add up
      -2z = 2

     Divide both sides by 2
      -z = 1

     Multiply both sides by (-1)
      z = -1
     Which is the solution for the Positive Case
Step  5  :Wrap up the solution

z=2/3
 z=-1

2. -6 < x < 26/3

Step 1 :Rearrange this Absolute Value Inequality

Absolute value inequalitiy entered
|3x-4|+5 < 27

Another term is moved / added to the right hand side.

|3x-4| < 22

Step 2 :Clear the Absolute Value Bars

Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.

The Absolute Value term is |3x-4|

For the Negative case we'll use -(3x-4)

For the Positive case we'll use (3x-4)

Step 3 :Solve the Negative Case

-(3x-4) < 22

 Multiply
 -3x+4 < 22

 Rearrange and Add up
 -3x < 18

 Divide both sides by 3
 -x < 6

 Multiply both sides by (-1)
 Remember to flip the inequality sign
 x > -6
 Which is the solution for the Negative Case

Step 4 :Solve the Positive Case

(3x-4) < 22

 Rearrange and Add up
 3x < 26

 Divide both sides by 3
 x < (26/3)

 Which is the solution for the Positive Case

Step 5 :Wrap up the solution

-6 < x < 26/3

Candice spent 5 1/4 hours doing her homework. Her brother, Ronald, spent 1/2 that number of hours doing his homework. How many h

Elden [556K]

Let

x-----> the number of hours that Candice spent doing her homework

y-----> the number of hours that Ronald spent doing his homework

we know that

$x=5\frac{1}{4}\ hours$

convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$5\frac{1}{4}\ hours=\frac{5*4+1}{4}= \frac{21}{4}\ hours$

$x=\frac{21}{4}\ hours$ -------> equation A

$y=\frac{1}{2}x$ ------> equation B

Substitute equation A in equation B

$y=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{21}{4}=\frac{21}{8}\ hours$

convert an improper fraction to a mixed number

$\frac{21}{8}\ hours=2.625=2+0.625=2+\frac{5}{8}=2\frac{5}{8}\ hours$

therefore

the answer is the option B

$2\frac{5}{8}\ hours$

Inscribed circles on the arc; improvement answer is required in full.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc

∠EFG creates Arc EDG

if ∠EFG is 1/2 arc EDG then 115° x 2 = 230°

A circle is 360°.

The remaining arc EFG is 360° - 230° = 130°

∠EDG is 1/2 of arc EFG so, 130° ÷ 2 = 65°

∠EDG = 65°

There is a 0.9991 probability that a randomly selected 31-year-old male lives through the year. A life insurance company charge

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

a) Monetary values corresponding to the two events are:

-In case of surviving the year = -166$

-In case of a death in the year = 89834$

b) Expected value of the purchasing the insurance is -85 $

c) Yes, insurance company can make a profit with this policy.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The man need to pay 166$ first to enroll the insurance policy. If he survives within a year, he will lose 166$. Otherwise, if he dies within a year he will profit 89834$.

b) Expected value of the purchasing the insurance as following:

-In case of surviving the year:

Value: -166$

Probability: 0,9991

-In case of death in a year

Value: 89834$

Probability: 0,0009

Expected value is E(x) = -166×0,9991 + 89834×0,0009 = -85 $

c) Lets consider that 10000 different 31 year old man enrolled to this insurance policy. According to probability of death, 9 out of 10000 man expected to be dead within the year. Therefore, company need to pay 9*90000 = 810000$ to their costumers. But, company will collect 10000*166=1660000$ from their costumers in the beginning of the year

So, it is expected that company is going to profit 1660000-810000=850000$ per year.
