Answer:

2.73

Step-by-step explanation:

james=5hrs

jared=6hrs  

1/5+1/6=1/x       x= Time together

6x/30x+5x/30x=30/30x

11x=30

x= 2 8/11

(2hrs 44min)

They are + 5 and + 4 , so

x2 + 9x +20

= (x + 4)(x + 5).

Engineers must consider the breadths of male heads when designing helmets. The company researchers have determined that the popu
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele is 4.4 inches.

The maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele is 7.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = head breadths of men that is considered for the helmets.

The random variable <em>X</em> is normally distributed with mean, <em>μ</em> = 6.1 and standard deviation, <em>σ</em> = 1.

To compute the probability of a normal distribution we first need to convert the raw scores to <em>z</em>-scores using the formula:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

It is provided that the helmets will be designed to fit all men except those with head breadths that are in the smallest 4.3% or largest 4.3%.

Compute the minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele as follows:

P (X < x) = 0.043

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.043

The value of <em>z</em> for this probability is:

<em>z</em> = -1.717

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\-1.717=\frac{x-6.1}{1}\\x=6.1-(1.717\times 1)\\x=4.383\\x\approx4.4

Thus, the minimum head breadth that will fit the clientele is 4.4 inches.

Compute the maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele as follows:

P (X > x) = 0.043

⇒ P (Z > z) = 0.043

⇒ P (Z < z) = 1 - 0.043

⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.957

The value of <em>z</em> for this probability is:

<em>z</em> = 1.717

*Use a <em>z</em>-table.

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\1.717=\frac{x-6.1}{1}\\x=6.1+(1.717\times 1)\\x=7.817\\x\approx7.8

Thus, the maximum head breadth that will fit the clientele is 7.8 inches.

If the triangle are similar, write a similarity
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The triangles are similar due to AAA

Step-by-step explanation:

'The triangles ABC and DBE are similar because they have a common angle < B, and also angle < E is marked as congruent to angle < A. Then the third angle <C is going to be congruent to angle D as well due to the property of addition of internal angles of a triangle must add to 180 degrees.

Then the triangles are similar due to AAA

Which represents the solution set of 5(x+5) &lt; 85?
Maru [420]

Answer:

\Huge \boxed{X

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first you have to isolate it on one side of the equation. Remember to solve this problem, find represents the solution of 5(x+5)<85.

First, you divide by 5 from both sides.

\displaystyle \frac{5(x+5)}{5}

Solve.

\displaystyle 85\div5=17

\displaystyle x+5

Next, subtract 5 from both sides.

\displaystyle x+5-5

Solve.

\displaystyle 17-5=12

As a result, the correct answer is x<12.
