Answer:

$x=4.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

From AAA, both triangles in this figure are similar. Therefore, we can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{x}{9}=\frac{x+3}{15}$ or $\frac{x}{9}=\frac{3}{6}$ .

Cross-multiplying, we get:

$6x=9(3),\\6x=27,\\x=\frac{27}{6}=\fbox{$4.5$}$ .

Subtracting with mixed numbers

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2*2 + 1}{2} - \frac{2}{3}$

= $\frac{5}{2} - \frac{2}{3}$

Now taking LCM of denominators 2 and 3 we get 6

= $\frac{5*3 - 2 * 2}{6}$

= $\frac{15 - 4}{6}$

= $\frac{11}{6}$

Hope it will help :)

Two non-simultaneous events have an equal likelihood of occurring (50%). If the events are independent of each other, what is th

BARSIC [14]

There are 4 possibilities:

1) No event happens
2) event A happens, not event B
3) event B happens, not event A
4) both events happen

seeing as there is a 50% chance of either event happening, I would assume that all 4 possibilities have an equal chance of happening

so if there are 4 events, then each one is 25% likely.

So the probability if them both occurring is 25%

I think
