Since ABCD is a parallelogram, line AB and line DC are parallel and has the same value.
To solve this, equate line AB to be equal with line DC.
So,
Line AB = Line DC
(9x-14)in = (3x +4)in
Next group like terms to get the value of x
9x in-3x in = 4in+14in

=

x = 3in
Since, we now have the value of x, substitute it to line DC’s equation.
DC=(3x+4)in
DC=(3(3) +4)in
DC=(9 +4) in
DC= 13 in
To check if the value is really correct, substitute X to AB
AB=(9x -14)in
AB=(9(3)-14)in
AB=(27-14)in
AB=13 in
Answer:
There is a 90.32% probability that the cake was baked by Doug.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have these following probabilities:
A 70% probability that Doug bakes the cake.
A 30% probability that Jeremy bakes the cake.
A 40% probability that a cake baked by Doug gets a thumbs up.
A 10% that a cake baked by Jeremy gets a thumbs up.
One cake was selected at random on 10/01/2014 and got a "thumbs up".
1. Find the probability that the cake was baked by Doug.
The probability that a baked cake gets a thumbs up is:

Of those, 0.7*0.4 = 0.28 are baked by Doug.
So the probability is:

There is a 90.32% probability that the cake was baked by Doug.
The equation given in the question has to be answered to the nearest tenth. The only thing that one should be careful about is the cross multiplication part. Other than that there is no difficulty in the given problem. Now let us get down to the equation in the question.
15/30 = n/34
30 * n = 15 * 34
30n = 510
n = 510/30
= 51/3
= 17
So the value of the unknown variable "n" comes out to be 17.
