Answer: The required probability is \dfrac{4}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of kids = 10

Number of kids in Team A = 5

Number of kids in Team B = 5

There are three kids in the group, Alex and his two best friends Jose and Carl.

So, number of favourable outcome is given by

2(\dfrac{8!}{3!\times 5!})

Total number of outcomes is given by

\dfrac{10!}{5!\times 5!}

So, the probability that Alex ends up on the same team with at least one of his two best friends is given by

\dfrac{2(\dfrac{8!}{5!\times 3!)}}{\dfrac{10!}{5!\times 5!}}\\\\=2\times \dfrac{8!}{3!}\times \dfrac{5!}{10!}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{9}

Hence, the required probability is \dfrac{4}{9}

Find the measure of AB if B is the midpoint of AC and AB = 2x - 4 and AC = 28
yarga [219]

Answer:

AB=14

Step-by-step explanation:

First you write the equation 2(2x-4)=28 because if b is the midpoint then AB is half of the line so you multiply that half by two the make it equal to the whole line.

Then you distribute the two and get 4x-8=28.

Then you add 8 to 28 and get 36.

Then you divide 36 by 4 because the 4 and x are being multiplied together so you have to divide to get them apart.

So then you get x=9 and you aren't done yet because you have to plug x into 2x-4.

So it is 2(9)-4 which is 18-4 which equals 14.
