Answer: m=−3

Step-by-step explanation: −40−2(3m+1/2)=7m−2

−40+(−2)(3m)+(−2)(1/2)=7m+−2

−40+−6m+−1=7m+−2

(−6m)+(−40+−1)=7m−2

−6m+−41=7m−2

−6m−41−7m=7m−2−7m

−13m−41+41=−2+41

−13m/−13=39/−13

m=−3

What mistake I guess Keith did make is he subtracted 2 from -39 which equaled to -37 which caused him divide -37 by 13 when it should have been 39 divided by 13 because he should have left 39 alone and not have subtracted 2 from it also it should not have been negative basically what I'm trying to say is that he did his division and subtraction wrong.

Given a right triangle with sides a = 3 , b = 4, and c = 5. Find the missing side c of another right triangle with a = 6 and b =

horsena [70]

c = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find out the missing side of a right triangle by using the Pythagorean theorem.

The Pythagorean theorem is...

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

We can even double check the first problem by plugging in everything into the theorem and solving, everything will come out correct. We can plug in the numbers from the second problem into the theorem and find c, also please note that the hypotenuse of a triangle will always be c. It doesn't matter which you put in for a or b, but since the problem gives us which one is a and which one is b, I'll just be plugging it in like that.

$6^2+8^2=c^2$

$36+64=c^2$

$100=c^2$

A lot of people will stop here and think that the answer is 100, but you need to find the square root of 100, since c is squared. The square root of 100 is 10, so...

c = 10

In a coffee shop "Scratch and Win" contest, one out of three cards is a winner. What is the probability that Shenice would first

jolli1 [7]

Answer: C.) 4/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

One out of three cards is a winner :

P(winning) = 1 / 3

Therefore, P(not winning) = P(losing) :

1 - P(winning) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Probability that shenice will first win on her third try can be interpreted as:

1st try = lose, 2nd try: lose, 3rd try : win

P(losing) × p(losing) × p(winning)

(2/3) × (2/3) × (1/3)

4 / 27

Probability of first winning on third try = 4/27
