X + (2x + 7) = 121 : Write the expression.
3x + 7 = 121 : Combine like terms.
3x + 7 - 7 = 121 - 7 : Isolate x.
3x = 114 : Combined like terms.
3x / 3 = 114 / 3 : Find the value of x.
x = 38 : This is the smaller integer.
(2x + 7) = (2(38) + 7) = 76 + 7 = 83. : Find the value of the larger number by plugging in the value of x to the larger number's quantity.
The larger number is 83, and the smaller number is 38.

An elevator is on the twentieth floor. It goes down 11 floors and then up 5 floors. What floor is the elevator now
Llana [10]
To solve problems like this, we must simply break it down and read each part carefully. We can also set it up as a math problem to make it easier to visualize.

The elevator starts on the twentieth floor, so we will represent that with 20.

20

It goes down 11 floors, so we can represent that with a -11.

20-11=9

Now we are on floor 9. Then, we go up 5 floors, so we can represent that with a 5.

9+5=14

Using the math above, we can see the elevator is on the 14th floor.

in a game involving a pair of fair dice a player rolls the dice until he gets a sum of 7 let z equal the number of rolls it take
Anarel [89]

Answer:

z = 36 rolls , probability for getting 7 = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

A die has 6 possible outcomes, which sums to 36 for two dice for every value on both dice.

The outcomes for rolling both dice for 36 times gives 6 possible outcomes summing to 7, that is, (1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), and (6, 1).

There the probability of getting a sum dice of 7 is:

= 6 / 36 = 1/6

Two Social Security numbers (see Exercise 8.12) match zeros if a digit of one number is zero iff the corresponding digit of the
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Proved

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given parameters, we have:

n = 9 i.e. the length of each security numbers

r = 2 i.e. 2 security numbers

Required

In 513 security numbers, 2 must have matching zeros

To do this, we make use of Pigeonhole principle.

First, we calculate the number of all security numbers not having matching zeros.

Each of the 9 digits can be selected in 2 ways.

2 ways implies that each digit is either 0 or not

So, total selection is:

Total = 2^9

Total = 512

Apply Pigeonhole principle

The principle states that: suppose there are n items in m containers, where n>m, then there is at least one container that contains more than 1 item.

This means that if there are 512 security number without matching zeros, then there is 1 (i.e. 512 + 1) with matching zeros.

512 + 1 = 513

Find the area of the following polygon:
Masja [62]

Given:

ABCD is a quadrilateral

AC = 12, DE = 4 and FB = 5

To find:

The area of the polygon.

Solution:

AC bisects the quadrilateral into two triangles.

Area of triangle:

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{base}\times\text{height}

<u>Area of triangle DAC:</u>

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times AC \times DE

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times 12 \times 4

A=24

Area of triangle DAC = 24 square units.

<u>Area of triangle BAC:</u>

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times AC \times FB

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times 12 \times 5

A=30

Area of triangle BAC = 30 square units.

Area of polygon = Area of triangle DAC + Area of triangle BAC

                           = 24 square units + 30 square units

                           = 54 square units

The area of the polygon is 54 square units.
