Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ways of selecting 3 gems of any kind without replacement is 35 * 34 * 33 = 39270

Now selecting 2 gems from 25 is 25C2

25 C 2 = 25 * 24/2 = 300

Selecting one good gem is 10

Total selection = 300 * 10 = 3000

P(gems) = 3000 / 39270

P(gems) = 300/3927

P(gems) = 100/1309

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle has 2 congruent legs and is isosceles with 2 base angles being congruent , then

5x = 3x + 28 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x = 28 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 14

Leslie and Daniel plan to put an above-ground pool in the backyard of their new home. The backyard is rectangular, 30 feet by 50
Brut [27]
1047.84ft² is not covered by the pool.
Find the area of the yard covered by pull using the area of a circle formula (the height is irrelevant in this case). If the diameter of the pool is 24 feet, its radius is 12 (half of the diameter)

A = 3.14r^2
A =3.14(144)
A = 452.16 ft²

Subtract the area of the pool from the area of the yard to get the area of the yard that is not covered by the pool. If the dimensions of the yard are 30ft by 50ft, you multiply them to get the area: 1500ft²

Total yard area: 1,500ft²
Area of yard without pool: 1,500ft² - 452.16ft² = 1047.84ft²

6. Benny earns $12.00 per hour as a lifeguard. He earns a bonus of $75.00
Vesna [10]

Answer:

75+12h ≥ 399

He must work at least 27 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

How much does benny earn

He makes 75 for the course plus 12 dollars an hour

75+ 12h

This must be at least 399

75+12h ≥ 399

Subtract 75 from each side

75-75+12h ≥ 399-75

12h ≥ 324

Divide each side by 12

12h/12 ≥ 324/12

h ≥ 27

He must work at least 27 hour
