Answer:

The value of x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle Bisector Theorem

An angle bisector of a triangle would cut the opposite side into two segments that are proportional to the other two sides of the triangle.

Thus,

$\frac{x}{15}=\:\frac{12}{20}$

Cross Multiply the expression

$\:20\times x=12\times 15$

Divide both sides by 20

$\frac{20x }{20}=\frac{180}{20}$

$x=9$

Therefore, the value of x = 9

What percent do you actually pay if 40% discount

Yanka [14]

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

A 40% discount means that 40% will be off, meaning you won't have to pay 40% of the original price. Therefore, you only pay 60% of the original price (100% - 40% = 60%).

Cara and Jena, working together, can clean the house in 4

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

$\frac{4}{3}$ hrs/house

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate is the amount of work done per unit of time;

Let Cara's rate = C

Let Jena's rate = J

C + J = 4 ------ i

Now;

Working alone:

Jena takes twice as long as Cara

J = 2C ---- i

How long does it take Cara to clean a house alone

C + J = 4

J = 2C

C + 2C = 4

3C = 4

C = $\frac{4}{3}$ hrs/house

Which of the following is a common characteristic of a binomial distribution?

Tanya [424]

Answer:

E. Each trial is independent

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not completely sure why all binomial distribution trials are independent, but there are requirements for binomial distributions.

These requirements are:

- Each outcome is either a success (p) or a failure (Q)

- All trials are independent

- There are a fixed number of "n" trials

- The probability of success (p) is the same for each trial

I also just took the test and got this right.

Latrell bought 4 bags of powdered sugar. He got a total of 5 1/2 cups of sugar. How many cups of sugar were in each bag?

Stels [109]

So all 4 bags of sugar yielded 5 and 1/2 cups..... well.. how many in each one? well, let's split the 5 and 1/2 evenly in 4 pieces.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{5}\frac{1}{2}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{11}{2}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{\quad\frac{11}{2} \quad }{4}\implies \cfrac{\quad\frac{11}{2} \quad }{\frac{4}{1}}\implies \cfrac{11}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{11}{8}\implies \stackrel{cups}{1\frac{3}{8}
}$
