Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question illustrates that the rectangle has sides ABCD and I've represented it as an attachment.

We have that:

AB = 3x

AD = 7x

The perimeter is calculated as:

Perimeter = 2 * (AB + AD)

Substitute values for AB, AD and Perimeter

160 = 2 * (3x + 7x)

160 = 2 * 10x

160 = 20x

Divide both sides by 20

8 = x

x = 8

The polynomial 6x2 x − 15 has a factor of 2x − 3. what is the other factor? 3x − 5 3x 5 4x − 5 4x 5

Andrew [12]

6x^2 + x - 15 = 6x^2 - 9x + 10x - 15 = 3x(2x - 3) + 5(2x - 3) = (3x + 5)(2x - 3)
Therefore, the other factor is 3x + 5.

8. A box is filled with candies in different colors. We have 40 white candies, 24 green ones, 12

Darya [45]

Answer:

$P(Green\ or\ Red) = 0.30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$White = 40$

$Green = 24$

$Red = 12$

$Yellow = 24$

$Blue = 20$

Required

$P(Green\ or\ Red)$

The total numbe of candy is:

$Total = 40 + 24 + 12 + 24 + 20$

$Total = 120$

This probability is calculated as:

$P(Green\ or\ Red) = P(Green) + P(Red)$

For each, we have:

$P(Green\ or\ Red) = \frac{Green}{Total} + \frac{Red}{Total}$

Take LCM

$P(Green\ or\ Red) = \frac{Green+Red}{Total}$

$P(Green\ or\ Red) = \frac{24+12}{120}$

$P(Green\ or\ Red) = \frac{36}{120}$

$P(Green\ or\ Red) = 0.30$
