The x intercept of the line is at x = 10.
The x intercept is always the value of x when all other values are equal to 0. So in this case, we put 0 in for t and then solve.
-2x + 5t = -20
-2x + 5(0) = -20
-2x = -20
x = 10
Answer:
x=21
Step-by-step explanation:
x-7=14
add 7 to both sides
x=21
Answer:
The length of the rectangle is 12cm and the area of the rectangle is 60cm2.
Explanation:
By definition, the angles of a rectangle are right. Therefore, drawing a diagonal creates two congruent right triangles. The diagonal of the rectangle is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. The sides of the rectangle are the legs of the right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the unknown side of the right triangle, which is also the unknown length of the rectangle.
Recall that the Pythagorean Theorem states that the sun of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. a2+b2=c2
52+b2=132
25+b2=169
25−25+b2=169−25
b2=144
√b2=√144
b=±12
Since the length of the side is a measured distance, the negative root is not a reasonable result. So the length of the rectangle is 12 cm.
The area of a rectangle is given by multiplying the width by the length.
A=(5cm)(12cm)
A=60cm2
Answer:
1 / 2
Step-by-step explanation:
- First observe that the fate of the last person is determined the moment either the first or the last seat is selected! This is because the last person will either get the first seat or the last seat. Any other seat will necessarily be taken by the time the last guy gets to 'choose'.
- Since at each choice step, the first or last is equally probable to be taken, the last person will get either the first or last with equal probability: 1/2
- Armed with the key observation, we see that the event that the last person's correct seat is free, is exactly the same as the event that the first person's seat was taken before the last person's seat.
- Well, each person had to make a random choice, was equally likely to choose the first person's seat or the last person's seat - the random chooser exhibits absolutely no preference towards a particular seat. This means that the probability that one seat is taken before the other must be 1/2
2.8y + 6 + 0.2y = 5y - 14
(Simplify like terms in first half of equation)
3y + 6 = 5y - 14
(Subtract both sides by 3y)
6 = 2y - 14
(Flip)
2y - 14 = 6
(Add both sides by 14)
2y = 20
(Divide both sides by 2)
y=10
