<h2>Answer:</h2>

The length of DP is:

DP=14 units

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

Point P is the midpoint of DE.

DP =3x + 2 and DE = 10x - 12.

We know that a midpoint divides the given line segment into two equal parts (i.e. it bisects a line segment)

Hence, we have:

DP+PE=DE

Also, DP=PE

This means that:

2DP=DE

2(3x+2)=10x-12

2×(3x)+2×2=10x-12

6x+4=10x-12

10x-6x=4+12

4x=16

x=16/4

x=4

Hence,

DP=3x+2=3×4+2

i.e.

DP=14

If P <span>is the midpoint of DE then
DE = 2(DP)
10x - 12 = 2(3x + 2)
10x - 12 = 6x + 4
10x - 6x = 4 + 12
4x = 16
x = 16/4
x = 4

DP = 3x + 2 = 3 * 4 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14 units</span>

A gardener is installing fence around his garden. Let x represent the width of the garden, in feet. The perimeter of the garden

hoa [83]

Answer:

B 3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

perimiter=2L+2W

P=2(L+W)

if x=width then

P=2(L+x)

P=8x+8

hmm

8x+8=2(L+x)

distribute

8x+8=2L+2x

minus 2x both sides

6x+8=2L

divide both sides by 2

3x+4=L

the length is 3x+4

Arada [10]

Answer:

$z = \frac{500-520}{\frac{90}{\sqrt{100}}}= -2.22$

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution and we got:

$P(z$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the foolowing parameters given:

$\mu = 520$ represent the mean

$\sigma =90$ represent the standard deviation

$n = 100$ the sample size selected

And for this case since the sample size is large enough (n>30) we can apply the central limit theorem and the distribution for the sample mean would be given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu , \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

And we want to find this probability:

$P(\bar X$

We can use the z score formula given by:

$z = \frac{500-520}{\frac{90}{\sqrt{100}}}= -2.22$

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution and we got:

$P(z$

For a ratio make a fraction using the quantities of the colors.

You want the ratio of red to purple.

There are 16 red and 2 purple, so the ratio would be 16/2, which can be reduced to 8/1
