Answer:

The answer is x = -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to start by using the slope formula with all of the information that we have.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

1 = (3 - -7)/(3 - x)

1 = 10/(3 - x)

Now we can use cross multiplication to solve for x.

1(3 -x) = 1(10)

3 - x = 10

-x = 7

x = -7

In Triangle BCD, BC=BD, and angle B =13x-35, angle C = 5x-19, angle D=2x+14. Find the measure of each angle

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

$B = 108$

$C = 36$

$D = 36$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$B =13x - 35$

$C = 5x - 19$

$D=2x+14$

$BC = BD$

Required

Determine the measure of each angle

The angles in a triangle sum up t 180. i.e.

$B + C + D = 180$

Since $BC = BD$ , then $C = D$

$B + C + D = 180$ can then be rewritten as:

$B + C + C = 180$

$B + 2C = 180$

Substitute values for B and C

$13x - 35 + 2(5x - 19) = 180$

Open Bracket

$13x - 35 + 10x - 38 = 180$

Collect Like Terms

$13x + 10x = 180 + 38 + 35$

$23x= 253$

Divide both sides by 23

$x = 11$

To get the measure of each angle, substitute 11 for x in the expressions of B, C and D

$B =13x - 35$

$B = 13 * 11 - 35$

$B = 108$

$C = 5x - 19$

$C = 5 * 11 - 19$

$C = 36$

$D=2x+14$

$D = 2 * 11 + 14$

$D = 36$

A baker uses 131 2 cups of flour to make key lime bread. She uses 21 4 cups of flour to make each loaf. The baker sells 2 3 of t

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

She sells 4 loaves of key lime bread

Step-by-step explanation:

Extracting the key information from the question:

*** A baker uses 13 1/2 cups of flour to make key lime bread

*** She uses 2 1/4 cups to make each loaf.

*** She sells 2/3 of the loaves of bread that she makes.

Now, since she uses 2 1/4 to make each loaf, we will convert this into improper fraction.

2 1/4 = [(4×2)+1]/4 = 9/4

She uses a total of 13 1/2 cups of flour to make all loaves.

To find the number of loaves she makes, we will divide the overall quantity of flour used by the quantity used to make a loaf

13 1/2 ÷ 2 1/4

Since 13 1/2 and 2 1/4 are the same as 27/2 and 9/4 respectively (mixed to improper fractions), we will then divide 27/2 by 9/4

= 27/2 × 4/9 = 6 loaves (total bread she makes).

Again, we learnt she sells 2/3 of the total loaves she makes.

Since total = 6, then 2/3 of 6 is:

2/3 × 6 = 4 loaves .

Therefore, the baker sells 4 loaves of key lime bread.

2.5% of a population are infected with a certain disease. There is a test for the disease, however the test is not completely ac

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

$P(disease/positivetest) = 0.36116$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability exercise.

Let's name the events :

I : ''A person is infected''

NI : ''A person is not infected''

PT : ''The test is positive''

NT : ''The test is negative''

The conditional probability equation is :

Given two events A and B :

P(A/B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)

$P(B) >0$

P(A/B) is the probability of the event A given that the event B happened

P(A ∩ B) is the probability of the event (A ∩ B)

(A ∩ B) is the event where A and B happened at the same time

In the exercise :

$P(I)=0.025$

$P(NI)= 1-P(I)=1-0.025=0.975\\P(NI)=0.975$

$P(PT/I)=0.904\\P(PT/NI)=0.041$

We are looking for P(I/PT) :

P(I/PT)=P(I∩ PT)/ P(PT)

$P(PT/I)=0.904$

P(PT/I)=P(PT∩ I)/P(I)

0.904=P(PT∩ I)/0.025

P(PT∩ I)=0.904 x 0.025

P(PT∩ I) = 0.0226

P(PT/NI)=0.041

P(PT/NI)=P(PT∩ NI)/P(NI)

0.041=P(PT∩ NI)/0.975

P(PT∩ NI) = 0.041 x 0.975

P(PT∩ NI) = 0.039975

P(PT) = P(PT∩ I)+P(PT∩ NI)

P(PT)= 0.0226 + 0.039975

P(PT) = 0.062575

P(I/PT) = P(PT∩I)/P(PT)

$P(I/PT)=\frac{0.0226}{0.062575} \\P(I/PT)=0.36116$
