3 minutes - 2 minutes = 1 minute

30 gallons - 12 gallons = 18 gallons

it is draining at 18 gallons per minute

equation would be: y = -18x

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Edgar rolls two six-sided number cubes. What is the probability that he rolls a 2 on

frutty [35]

Answer:

The probability that he rolls a sum of 9 given the sample space is . 9/36, or 1/4.

What is the probability?

Probability determines the chances that an event would happen. The probability the event occurs is 1 and the probability that the event does not occur is 0.

The probability that he rolls a sum of 9 = cubes that have a sum of 9 / total number of cubes

9/36 = 1/4

I don't understand this. Please explain the answer. I have a final exam coming up.

I’m pretty sure it’s -6 because f(x) is the first curve and g(x) is the second and there’s six spaces between each of their vertexes

Find values of x and y for which ABCD must be a parallelogram. The diagram is not drawn to scale.

Arturiano [62]

ANSWER
$x=4, y=8$

EXPLANATION

If ABCD is a parallelogram, then

line AB is parallel to line DC .

This means that,

$(x + 2) \degree$
and

$(2x - 2) \degree$
are alternating angles.

Alternate angles are congruent.

This implies that,

$2x - 2 = x + 2$

We group like terms to obtain,

$2x - x = 2 + 2$

This simplifies to,

$x = 4$

Also, if ABCD is a parallelogram then,

BC is parallel to AD. This means that,

$5y - 8 = y + 24$

We group like terms to get,

$5y - y = 24 + 8$

This simplifies to,

$4y = 32$

We divide both side by 4 to get,

$y = 8$
