A. 3

You have to know figure out as many sides as possible before setting up the ratio.

On the short leg the entire leg is equal to 20, and some part of the line is labeled as 12. So you do do 20-12 which would equal to 8. So the shorter part of the short leg equals to 8.

Then you do the long leg. The entire leg equals to 35. Some part of the long leg is labeled as 7x. So you can label the other part of the long leg as 35-7x.

Since you have the numbers for the ratio now, you can do the next steps.

The first step is picking a location and then going any direction.

When I solved it, I started at the top and went down.

8/35-7x=12/7x

Then you cross multiply.

8*7x=56x. 12*35-7x=420-84x

56x=430-84x

Add 84x on both sides

140x=420

Divide 140 in both sides

X=3

Carl is boarding a plane. He has 222 checked bags of equal weight and a backpack that weighs 4 Write an equation to determine th
dangina [55]

Answer: 2w + 4 = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Carl's two checked bags and his one backpack together weigh 35kg.

Carl's two checked bags have equal weight so both their weight can be denoted as 2w.

Equation is;

2w + 4 = 35

If you were to solve;

2w + 4 = 35

2w = 35 - 4

w = 31/2

w = 15.5kg

A prime number less than 100 is selected randomly. what is the probability that its square has units digit $7$?
liberstina [14]
Any number ends with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or  9

Given any number. The square of this number is the last digit of square of the original numbers units digit.

For example

23*23 ends with 9 (3*3=9)

149*149 ends with 1 (9*9=81)

2564*2564 ends with 6 (4*4=16) 

and so on

so all the possible unit digits of a square number are {0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9}

because:

0*0= 0 ; 1*1=1; 2*2=4; 3*3=9; 4*4=16; 5*5=25, 6*6=36; 7*7=49; 8*8=64, 9*9=81

Thus, the probability that the square of a number selected from any set of numbers being 7, is 0.
