Answer:

  x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides are proportional.

  BE/CD = AE/AD

  20/(3x+8) = (x-1)/(x-1+27)

  20(x+26) = (3x+8)(x -1)

In standard form, this is ...

  3x^2 -15x -528 = 0

  x^2 -5x -176 = 0 . . . . . . divide by 3

  (x -16)(x +11) = 0 . . . . . . . factor

  x = 16

__

This is the positive value that makes the product zero. x=-11 will also make the product 0, but gives negative segment lengths in the geometry. It is an extraneous solution.

Aneli [31]

Answer: 33.3%

= 6 balls

The probability of picking a green ball can be found by the formula:

= Number of green balls / Number of total balls

No, it is not possible.  The total measure of all angles in a triangle must be 180.  If you add these three together, you get 190.
