Solve for x.

Mathematics

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector divides the segments proportionally. This means they satisfy ...

  bottom segment / side segment = x/6 = (6-x)/4

Multiplying by 12 gives ...

  2x = 3(6 -x)

  2x = 18 -3x . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  5x = 18 . . . . . . . . add 3x

  x = 3.6 . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

I like to try to work these mentally. The total of side lengths is 10, so the total base length (6) is 6/10 = 0.6 times that. Then x will be 0.6 times the left side length: 0.6·6 = 3.6 = x.

What is the probability of getting an odd number on a fair die and a tail on coin flip?
Arada [10]
So we know that the dice had 6 numbers which is 1 to 6, and we know that the odd number between 1 and 6 is 1,3,5. As a result, the probability of rolling an odd number on a fair die is 3/6 or 1/2, and we already know that probability of flipping a tail on a coin is 1/2, so I just take 1/2 times 1/2 to get 1/4 which is C. Hope it help!

Solve this quadratic equation by completing the square.<br><br> x^2+10x=7
bogdanovich [222]
Ok, so the quadratic coefient is 1, so great

take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
10/2=5, (5)^2=25
add that to both sides
x^2+10x+25=7+25
factor perfect square trionomial
(x+5)^2=32
squaer root both sides
x+5=+/-4√2
minus 5
x=-5+/-4√2


x=-5+4√2 and -5-4√2

(25 + 19) + 15 = (19 + 25) + 15<br><br><br> What property is that equation
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like Associative property which is when you change the GROUP, but actually it’s commutative because it didn’t change any numbers in the group, just the order of where they were.

Associative: (25 + 19) + 15 = (15 + 19) + 25

Commutative: (25 + 19) + 15 = (19 + 25) + 15

It didn’t change the numbers, only the order. Therefore, it would be commutative property
