Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Line l and m are two parallel lines cut across by the transversal line, therefore, the angle measuring 53° and (8x - 9)° are interior angles on the same side. Interior angles on the same side are supplementary.
Therefore:
53° + (8x - 9)° = 180°
Solve for x
53 + 8x - 9 = 180
Collect like terms
53 - 9 + 8x = 180
44 + 8x = 180
Subtract 44 from both sides
44 + 8x - 44 = 180 - 44
8x = 136
Divide both sides by 8
8x/8 = 136/8
x = 17
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) find the total candies
7 + 8 + 5 + 9 = 29
2) a probability can be expressed with a fraction whose denominator is the total candies, while the numerator represents the candies that we want to find
- red = 7/29
- blue = 8/29
- yellow = 5/29
- green = 9/29
3) compound probability
(red + blue)/29 = 15/29
(yellow + green)/29 = 14/29
(blue + yellow + green)/29 = 22/29
