Which of the following equations are linear? (choose all that apply)

Please show work on how you got the answer

Maurinko [17]

Since E is the midpoint, DE and EF are the same length.
Set the equation DE and EF equal to each other and solve for x.
2x + 4 = 3x - 1
x = 5
Then plug in 5 to find the length.
DE = 2(5) + 4 = 14
EF = 3(5) - 1 = 14
DF = DE + EF = 28

∠DEF and ∠FEG are supplementary. m∠DEF=(3x+5)°, and m∠FEG=(2x)°. What is the measure of ∠DEF?

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

DEF = 110

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add to 180

3x+5 +2x = 180

Combine like terms

5x +5 = 180

Subtract 5 from each side

5x = 175

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 = 175/5

x =35

DEF = 3x+5

= 3*35 +5

= 105+5

= 110

Which statement(s) is (are) correct?

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

<em>statements 3 and 4 are correct.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

The probability of choosing cured pasta and bear= probability that the card is king.

Hence, The probability of choosing cured pasta and bear= $\dfrac{4}{52}=\dfrac{1}{13}$

Probability of choosing baked cucumber and lime mutton=probability that the card is 3.

as there are 4 cards that are '3'.

Hence Probability of choosing baked cucumber and lime mutton= $\dfrac{4}{52}=\dfrac{1}{13}$

as both the probabilities are equal.

Hence statement 1 is incorrect.

(2)

The probability of choosing gooseberry & passion fruit cheesecake= Probability taht the card is ace.

as there are 4 cards which are ace out of 52 cards.

Hence, The probability of choosing gooseberry & passion fruit cheesecake= $\dfrac{4}{52}=\dfrac{1}{13}$

probability of choosing poached fennel & lemon alligator=Probability that the card is a face card.

As there are 12 face cards out of 52 cards.

Hence, probability of choosing poached fennel & lemon alligator= $\dfrac{12}{52}=\dfrac{3}{13}$

Hence, the probability of choosing gooseberry and passion fruit cheesecake is smaller than the probability of choosing poached fennel & lemon alligator.

Hence statement 2 is false.

(3)

The probability of choosing a praline wafer=probability that the card is a diamond.

as there are 13 diamond cards out of 52 cards.

The probability of choosing a praline wafer= $\dfrac{13}{52}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

the probability of choosing poached fennel & lemon alligator=Probability that the card is a face card.

As there are 12 face cards out of 52 cards.

Hence, probability of choosing poached fennel & lemon alligator= $\dfrac{12}{52}=\dfrac{3}{13}$

Hence, The probability of choosing a praline wafer is greater than the probability of choosing poached fennel & lemon alligator.

Hence statement 3 is correct.

(4)

The probability of choosing pressure-cooked mushroom & garlic chicken =probability that the card is red.

As there are 26 red cards out of 52 cards.

Hence,

The probability of choosing pressure-cooked mushroom & garlic chicken = $\dfrac{26}{52}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

probability of choosing an oven-baked apple & lavender calzone =probability that the card is black.

As there are 26 red cards out of 52 cards.

Hence, probability of choosing an oven-baked apple & lavender calzone= $\dfrac{26}{52}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, The probability of choosing pressure-cooked mushroom & garlic chicken and the probability of choosing an oven-baked apple & lavender calzone are the same.

Hence statement 4 is true.

(5)

The probability of choosing pressure-cooked mushroom & garlic chicken =probability that the card is red.

As there are 26 red cards out of 52 cards.

Hence,

The probability of choosing pressure-cooked mushroom & garlic chicken = $\dfrac{26}{52}=\dfrac{1}{2}$

the probability of choosing a praline wafer=probability that the card is a diamond.

as there are 13 diamond cards out of 52 cards.

The probability of choosing a praline wafer= $\dfrac{13}{52}=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Hence, the probability of choosing pressure-cooked mushroom & garlic chicken and the probability of choosing a praline wafer are not same.

Hence, statement 5 is not correct.

Calvin evaluated -2/3 *5 1/6 using the steps below.

matrenka [14]

For this case we have to evaluate the following expression,

$- \frac {2} {3} * 5 \frac {1} {6}$

We must follow the steps below:

We convert the mixed number into a fraction:

$- \frac {2} {3} * \frac {6 * 5 + 1} {6} =\\- \frac {2} {3} * \frac {31} {6} =$

We multiply the fractions, taking into account that:

$- * + = -\\- \frac {2 * 31} {3 * 6} =\\- \frac {62} {18} =$

We simplify:

$- \frac {31} {9}$

We convert to mixed number:

$-3 \frac {4} {9}$

Answer:

$-3 \frac {4} {9}$
