Answer:

x = 14°

y = 5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle COL is complementary to both 25° (∠AOC) and 5y (∠LOM). Then it must be true that ...

5y = 25°

y = 5° . . . . . . divide by 5

Similarly, angle MOB is complementary to angle LOM, so ...

90° -25° = 3x +23°

42° = 3x . . . . . subtract 23° and simplify

14° = x . . . . . . divide by 3

The values of x and y are ...

x = 14°
y = 5°

Kipish [7]

Answer:

<em>The probability of scoring two goals in both times is</em><em> 0.137 or 13.7%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Statistics show that a certain soccer player has a 63% chance of missing the goal each time he shoots.

So $P(A)=0.63$

Hence, the probability of getting success in his shoots will be,

$P(A^c)=1-P(A)=1-0.63=0.37$

The probability of scoring two goals in both times is,

$=P(A^c)\cdot P(A^c)$

$=0.37\times 0.37$

$=0.137$

$=13.7\%$

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 72. What is the largest of these numbers?

kicyunya [14]

3 consecutive numbers....x, x + 1 and x + 2

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72
3x + 3 = 72
3x = 72 - 3
3x = 69
x = 69/3
x = 23

x + 1 = 23 + 1 = 24
x + 2 = 23 + 2 = 25

so ur numbers are 23,24,25 with 25 being the largest
