Answer:

  6, 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent one of the numbers. Then the other number is 15-x (because their sum is 15). The relation between the numbers is ...

  2x -3 = 15 -x . . . . . three less than twice one number is the other number

  3x = 18 . . . . . . add 3+x

  x = 6 . . . . . . divide by 3

  15-x = 9 . . . . find the other number

The two numbers are 6 and 9.

Captain Emily has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is five furlongs from the dread pirate Umaima and her merciless band
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = 0.514

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the captain hits the pirate ship

The probability of the captain hitting the pirate ship, P(A) = 3/5

Let B be the event that the pirate hits the captain's ship

The probability of the pirate hitting the captain's ship P(B) = 1/7

The probability of the pirate missing the captain's ship, P'(B) = 1 - P(B)

P'(B) = 1 - 1/7 = 6/7

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = P(A) * P(B) = 3/5 * 6/7

= 0.514

Answer:

  7 cm, 4.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths can be found from the law of cosines. Each triangle has legs 3 cm and 5 cm. The angle between these will be 60° or 120°. Then the two sides of the parallelogram are ...

  s = √(a² +b² -2ab·cos(C))

  s = √(3² +5² -2·3·5·(±1/2)) = √(34 ±15) = {√49, √19}

The two side lengths are 7 cm and about 4.4 cm.
