Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>If P is the midpoint of XY, then XP = PY:</u>

  • 8x - 2 = 12x - 30
  • 12x -8x = 30 -2
  • 4x = 28
  • x= 28/4
  • x= 7

HELP PLEASE!!!
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to put your equations in y=mx+b form

Your first equation...

5x + 4y = 3

4y = 3-5x

y = -5/4x + 3/4

Your second equation...

5x-4y = -3

-4y = -5x -3

y = 5/4x + 3/4

The slopes aren't the same and are not reciprocals, so the answer would be neither.

Sara has 20 sweets. She has 12 liquorice sweets, 5 mint sweets and 3 humbugs. Sarah is going to take, at random, two sweets Work
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

111 / 190

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first compute the probability of picking 2 of each sweet. Take liquorice as the first example. There are 12 / 20 liquorice now, but after picking 1 there will be 11 / 19 left. Thus the probability of getting two liquorice is demonstrated below;

12 / 20 * 11 / 19 = \frac{33}{95},\\Probability of Drawing 2 Liquorice = \frac{33}{95}

Apply this same concept to each of the other sweets;

5 / 20 * 4 / 19 = \frac{1}{19},\\Probability of Drawing 2 Mint Sweets = 1 / 19\\\\3 / 20 * 2 / 19 = \frac{3}{190},\\Probability of Drawing 2 Humbugs = 3 / 190

Now add these probabilities together to work out the probability of drawing 2 of the same sweets, and subtract this from 1 to get the probability of not drawing 2 of the same sweets;

33 / 95 + 1 / 19 + 3 / 190 = \frac{79}{190},\\1 - \frac{79}{190} = \frac{111}{190}\\\\

The probability that the two sweets will not be the same type of sweet =

111 / 190
