Answer: x = 2/5 in fraction form

In decimal form, the answer is x = 0.4

====================================================

Work Shown:

2/3 = two thirds

2/3 + (1/3)x = 2x is the equation you're given

Multiply every term by 3 so that we clear out the fractions

3*(2/3) + 3*(1/3)x = 3*2x

2 + x = 6x

From here, we solve for x

2 + x = 6x

2+x-x = 6x-x .... subtract x from both sides

2 = 5x

5x = 2

5x/5 = 2/5 ... divide both sides by 5

x = 2/5

x = 0.4

Dawn comma Sergio comma Tyrone comma and Jim have all been invited to a dinner party. They arrive randomly and each person arriv

professor190 [17]

Answer:

a. 24

b. 2

c. 0.0833 = 8.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first "slot" of person to arrive has 4 possibilities, then the second "slot" will have 3 possibilities, as one has already arrived, then the third "slot" has 2 possibilities, and the fourth "slot" has just 1 possibility.

So, multiplying all these combinations, we have 4*3*2*1 = 24 possible ways they can arrive

If the first and the last person are already "locked", we just have possibilities for the second and third person. The second will have 2 possibilities (Sergio or Tyrone), and the third will have only 1 (the person that wasn't the second between Sergio and Tyrone). So, the number of possibilities is 2*1 = 2

If we have 2 cases where Dawn is first and Jim is last, from a total of 24 possible cases, the probability is 2/24 = 1/12 = 0.0833 = 8.33%

Find the degree triangle

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

A) 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the triangles are congruent to each other, then their corresponding angles are also congruent to each other. Thus, angles Z and V are congruent to each other:

$\angle Z=\angle V\\\\40^\circ=(5n+5)^\circ\\\\35=5n\\\\7=n$
