X/(x+5) = (x-2)/(x+1)
x(x+1) = (x -2) (x + 5)
x^2 + x = x^2 - 2x + 5x - 10
x = 3x - 10
3x - x = 10
2x = 10
x = 5
answer is A
5
We define the probability of a particular event occurring as:

What are the total number of possible outcomes for the rolling of two dice? The rolls - though performed at the same time - are <em>independent</em>, which means one roll has no effect on the other. There are six possible outcomes for the first die, and for <em>each </em>of those, there are six possible outcomes for the second, for a total of 6 x 6 = 36 possible rolls.
Now that we've found the number of possible outcomes, we need to find the number of <em>desired</em> outcomes. What are our desired outcomes in this problem? They are asking for all outcomes where there is <em>at least one 5 rolled</em>. It turns out, there are only 3:
(1) D1 - 5, D2 - Anything else, (2), D1 - Anything else, D2 - 5, and (3) D1 - 5, D2 - 5
So, we have

probability of rolling at least one 5.
Diego is building a kitchen table and a coffee table. The legs of a kitchen table must be twice the height of a coffee table and there are 4 legs on each table. He writes the expression 4(2x) + 4(x) to model his building plans. What does 2x represent?
2x represents the height of one kitchen table leg. 2x represents the total height of all four kitchen table legs. 2x represents the height of one coffee table leg.<span> 2x represents the total height of all four coffee table legs.</span>
Answer:
Common ratio: -3
Geometric sequence: an=5(-3)^n-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Each number multiplied by -3 gets the product of the next number. (5*-3= -15)
