Look at the picture.

1)|AM| = |MB| = x
|AN| = |NC| = y
|BC| = 2y - 2x = 2(y - x)
|MN| = y - x
Therefore |BC| = 2|MN|
2)|AM| = |MB| = x
|AN| = |NC| = y

|BC| = 2y - 2x = 2(y - x)
|MN| = y - x
Therefore |BC| = 2|MN|

Hello ! (<span>I attached a picture of the drawing)</span>

<span>First, we draw a line with 3 points B,A,C in this order.Then </span><span>we will note the middle of AB with M and also the middle of AC with N.
</span>
<span></span><span>We can notice that BC = AB + AC
</span>
<span>M - the middle of AB ⇒ AM=MB=AB/2</span>
<span>N - the middle of AC ⇒ AN=NC=AC/2
</span>

<span>We can write MN as AM+AN , which means AB/2 + AC/2 . We can also write AB as BC-AC , so we will have :
</span>
<span>MN = AB/2 + AC/2</span>
<span>MN = (BC-AC)/2 + AC/2</span>
<span>MN = BC/2 - AC/2 + AC/2 ( AC/2 with -AC/2 are reduced)</span>
MN = BC/2    or    BC = 2·MN

What is the value of x?​
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First count the number of sides. There are 6 sides.

Now use the formula

(n - 2) * 180  To determine the total of all 6 angles.

(6 -2) * 180 =

4 * 180 = 720

Is that a 9 in x + 9 [lower left]? I'll assume so. Edited to show it was a 4.

x + 4 + 120 + x + 50 + 140 + 112 + x = 720     Combine

3x + 4 + 120 + 50 + 140 + 112 = 720

3x + 426 = 720                                                Subtract 431 from both sides

3x = 720 - 426                                                 Combine

3x = 294                                                          Divide by 3

x = 294/3

x = 98

Help me solve this conversions problem
cricket20 [7]

So we will be using dimensional analysis to solve it as such:

\frac{23843\ kL}{1}*\frac{1000\ L}{1\ kL}*\frac{1\ Gal}{3.79\ L}=\frac{23843000}{3.79}=6291029.02\ Gallons

In short, 23,843 kL is 6,291,029.02 (6,291,029 rounded to the whole gallon) gallons.

Joey has a full 40 coins consisting of only quarters and nickels if the total value is $5.00 how many of each does joey have.
Archy [21]
Q + n = 40....q = 40 - n
0.25q + 0.05n = 5

0.25(40 - n) + 0.05n = 5
10 - 0.25n + 0.05n = 5
-0.25n + 0.05n = 5 - 10
 - 0.20n = -5
n = -5 / -0.20
n = 25 <=== 25 nickels

q + n = 40
q + 25 = 40
q = 40 - 25
q = 15 <== 15 quarters

A professor would like to test the hypothesis that the average number of minutes that a student needs to complete a statistics e
professor190 [17]

Answer:

\chi^2 =\frac{15-1}{25} 16 =8.96

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1 = 15-1=14

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(\chi^2

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not ignificantly lower than 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

n=15 represent the sample size

\alpha=0.05 represent the confidence level  

s^2 =16 represent the sample variance

\sigma^2_0 =25 represent the value that we want to  verify

System of hypothesis

We want to test if the true deviation for this case is lesss than 5minutes, so the system of hypothesis would be:

Null Hypothesis: \sigma^2 \geq 25

Alternative hypothesis: \sigma^2

The statistic is given by:

\chi^2 =\frac{n-1}{\sigma^2_0} s^2

And replacing we got:

\chi^2 =\frac{15-1}{25} 16 =8.96

The degrees of freedom are given by:

df = n-1 = 15-1=14

The p value for this case would be given by:

p_v =P(\chi^2

Since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true deviation is not ignificantly lower than 5 minutes

The answer is A because when a question asks how much is left it typically means that you will need to subtract.
