The answer is A
You would multiply the second equation by -2 to clear the 'y'.
This leaves -10x = 2B and 3x = A
When combining these we get -7x = A - 2B

From the diagram below, if the sides AD = 3 and DC = 27, and BD = X + 3, find x.

Colt1911 [192]

Given:

• AD = 3

• DC = 27

• BD = x + 3

Let's solve for x.

To solve for x, apply the altitude formula:

$\frac{AD}{BD}=\frac{BD}{DC}$

Where BD is the altitude.

Cross multiply:

$BD^2=AD*DC$

Plug in the values and solve for x:

$\begin{gathered} (x+3)^2=3*27 \\ \\ (x+3)^2=81 \end{gathered}$

Take the square root of both sides:

$\begin{gathered} \sqrt{(x+3)^2}=\sqrt{81} \\ \\ x+3=9 \\ \\ \text{ Subtract 3 from both sides:} \\ x+3-3=9-3 \\ \\ x=6 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the value of x is 6 .

Keith_Richards [23]

For 1 play, the chance of gaining $8 is 4/38, while the chance of losing the $1 is 34/38. Therefore, the expected value is ($8)(4/38) + ($-1)(34/38) = $(-1/19). Over 50 plays, which are mutually independent of each other, we multiply the number of plays by the expected value to get $(-50/19) = $-2.63.
