  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtract Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

5x = 2

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Divide 5 on both sides:                    x = 2/5

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                     5(2/5) = 2
  2. Multiply:                                2 = 2

Here we see that 2 does indeed equal 2.

∴ x = 2/5 is the solution to the equation.

pychu [463]

Answer:

48 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

At a particular time, objects and their shadows are proportionate.

Therefore, in figure,

AB/FD = BC/DE --- (1)

where AB is the height of the lighthouse, BC, its shadow and FD is the height of Zara and DE is her shadow.

From the given information,

BC = 36 feet

FD = 4 feet and DE = 3 feet

(1) becomes

AB/4 = 36/3

AB = 12

AB = 48

Hence, the height of the lighthouse is 48 feet.

Answer:

  0.2601

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 19C16 = 969 ways for Lester to choose 16 of the 19 objects.

There are 12C11 = 12 ways to choose 11 vases, and 7C5 = 21 ways to choose a non-vase, for a total of (12)(21) = 252 ways to choose exactly 11 vases in 16 objects.

So, the probability of interest is ...

  252/969 ≈ 0.2601

_____

nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!) ... the number of ways to choose k objects from n
