let's take a peek, we have two fractions, let's get the LCD of all fractions, in this case the LCD of 2 and 5, hmmmm that'd be 10.

now, let's multiply both sides by the LCD of 10 to do away with the denominators and proceed.

\bf \cfrac{x}{2}+\cfrac{2x}{5}=18\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{10}}{10\left( \cfrac{x}{2}+\cfrac{2x}{5} \right)=10(18)}\implies 5x+4x=180 \\\\\\ 9x=180\implies x=\cfrac{180}{9}\implies x=20

Q) Without a calculator, we must estimate the value of the following expression:

3-\sqrt[]{38}.

A) I estimate 3 - √38 to be approximately -3.2.

First, we estimate the value of √38. √38 is between √36 and √49, but close to √36 (since 38 is closer to 4 than it is to 9). Since √36 is 6, √38 is probably something like 6.1 or 6.2. Filling 6.2 in the expression and simplifying, we have this:

3-6.2=-3.2.

So, I expect the number 3 - √38 to be close to -3.2.

Using a calculator we find that: 3 - √38 ≅ -3.16, which it is approximately the result that we found.

Answer

Without a calculator we find that 3 - √38 ≅ -3.2.

An equilateral shape is a shape that has all congruent sides.

<em>Sandy has a greater probability of selecting an equilateral shape</em>

Given

Sandy: <em>Equilateral triangle, Rhombus, and Regular hexagon</em>

Robert: <em>Scalene triangle, Kite, Isosceles trapezoid, Non-special quadrilateral, and Obtuse isosceles triangle</em>

All three shapes in Sandy's shape bucket are equilateral.

So, the probability that Sandy picks an equilateral shape is 1

All five shapes in Robert's shape bucket are non-equilateral.

So, the probability that Robert picks an equilateral shape is 0

By comparing the probabilities:

<em>1 is greater than 0</em>

Hence, Sandy is more likely to pick an equilateral shape than Robert.
