Mathematics

FromTheMoon [43]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

AB = 8

AC = x

QR = 12

QS = 15

Required

Find x

Because both triangles are similar, we have:

AB : AC = QR : QS --- Equivalent ratios

This gives:

8 : x = 12 : 15

Convert to fraction

\frac{8}{x} = \frac{12}{15}

Cross Multiply:

12 * x = 8* 15

12x = 120

Divide both sides by 12

x = \frac{120}{12}

x = 10

A user’s password to access a computer system consists of 3 letters followed by 2 digits. How many different passwords are possi
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

26*26*26 = 17576 ways to select 3 letters

10*10= 100 ways to select 2 numbers

So then the total number of ways are:

26^3 *10^2 = 1757600 possible ways

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we assume that we have 26 letters from A to Z and 10 numbers from 0 to 9 .

And we want to calculate the number of possible passwords possible if the password consists of 3 letters followed by 2 digits.

And for this case we can use the multiplication principle of combinatories, since we don't have any restriction about the letters of the numbers we can have repetition of letters or numbers.

For the number of possible letters:

26*26*26 = 17576 ways to select 3 letters

10*10= 100 ways to select 2 numbers

So then the total number of ways are:

26^3 *10^2 = 1757600 possible ways

June bought three books. For the first book, she paid one half of her allowance plus $1 more. For the second book, she paid one
inysia [295]

Answer:

$34

Step-by-step explanation:

I'd work backwards.

For the third book, she paid all her remaining money. The problem says she paid "1/2 her leftover money + $3". This means that: (let m = money used to buy book 3)

m = 1/2m + 3

1/2m = 3

m = 6

For the second book: (let n = money before book 2)

n - m (money left after book 2) = 1/2n + 2

1/2n +2 is money used up for book, which is the same as n-m.

n = 1/2n + 2 + m

1/2n = 2 + m = 2 + 6

1/2n =8

n = 16

For the first book, she spent 1/2 her money + 1. If o = money before book 1 (or the whole allowance):

o - n = 1/2o + 1

o = 1/2o + n + 1 = 1/2o + 16 + 1

1/2o = 17

o = 34

Check!

Spent 17 (half 34) + 1 on book 1

16 left

Spent 8 (half 16) +2 on book 2

6 left

Spent 3 (half 6) + 3 on book 3

0 left
