Answer:
odds for = 1/3 Odds against = 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
2,3 appear twice on a die so there's a 2/6 chance of rolling them or 1/3
Answer: y is 23 and x is 139 so x + y = 162
Step-by-step explanation:
(23-x)+(2x+18)=180
41+x=180
x=180-41
x=139
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The given relation between length and width can be used to write an expression for area. The equation setting that equal to the given area can be solved to find the shed dimensions.
__
<h3>Given relation</h3>
Let x represent the width of the shed. Then the length is (2x+3), and the area is ...
A = LW
20 = (2x+3)(x) . . . . . area of the shed
__
<h3>Solution</h3>
Completing the square gives ...
2x² +3x +1.125 = 21.125 . . . . . . add 2(9/16) to both sides
2(x +0.75)² = 21.125 . . . . . . . write as a square
x +0.75 = √10.5625 . . . . . divide by 2, take the square root
x = -0.75 +3.25 = 2.50 . . . . . subtract 0.75, keep the positive solution
The width of the shed is 2.5 feet; the length is 2(2.5)+3 = 8 feet.
Let t = time
Between Rocky and Ken:
3000 + 3000(.10)(t)
Between Ken and Mike:
3000 + 3000(.12)(t)
Kens gain = The difference
