((1/3)x - 5) + 171 = x
combine like terms...move the x’s to one side...
166 = (2/3)x
get x by itself...
166 (3/2) = x
249 = x

Two number cubes are rolled. What is the probability of rolling a sum of 9 or a sum that is even?
Murljashka [212]

Well I don't know !
Let's figure it out together.

Each cube can land in 6 different ways, so the total number
of possible results with two cubes is (6 x 6) = 36 .

Now we need to figure out how many of those 36 possibilities
meet your specifications ... either 9 or any even number.

Ways to make 9 :

3 . . . 6
6 . . . 3
4 . . . 5
5 . . . 4

Four ways to make 9.
____________________________

Ways to make an even number:

1 . . . 1
3 . . . 1
1 . . . 3
2 . . . 2
5 . . . 1
1 . . . 5
6 . . . 2
2 . . . 6
6 . . . 4
4 . . . 6
6 . . . 6

Eleven ways to make an even number.
_____________________

Total number of ways to succeed = (4 + 11) = 15 ways

So the probability of succeeding (rolling 9 or an even number)
is

               15 / 36  =  5 / 12  =  0.41666... =  (41 and 2/3) % .

The length of a rectangle is 11 units more than its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 182 units. Solve for the dimensions
alekssr [168]

Answer:

2160 units square

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the perimeter of 182 units and that the lengths are 11 more units than the width. So the length is W+11, eleven more than the width. There is also 2 width sides so the sum of the lengths are 2W+22. There is also 2 width sides so if you add that to the equation the perimeter equals 4W+22.

4W+22=182

4W=160

W=40

So the width is 40 units, and the length is 11 more so the length is 54 units. Multiply these two numbers to get the area. 44*54=2160 square units.
