Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Verticle angles are always congruent, so:

(8x + 15) = 143

Now, we can solve to isolate x:

8x + 15 - 15 = 143 - 15 (subtract 15 from both sides)

8x/8 = 128/8 (divide both sides by 8)

x = 16

You can always plug in the value of x to the original equation to check your answer:

8(16) + 15 = 143

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 30 students, 19 of them play basketball and 12 of them play baseball. There are 8 students who p

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball is $\frac{23}{30}$ or 0.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of students in the class = 30

Number of students who plays basket ball = 19

Number of students who plays base ball = 12

Number of students who plays base both the games = 8

To find:

Probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays basketball or baseball=?

Solution:

$P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B)$ ---------------(1)

where

P(A) = Probability of choosing a student playing basket ball

P(B) = Probability of choosing a student playing base ball

P(A \cap B) = Probability of choosing a student playing both the games

Finding P(A)

P(A) = $\frac{\text { Number of students playing basket ball }}{\text{Total number of students}}$

P(A) = $\frac{19}{30}$ --------------------------(2)

Finding P(B)

P(B) = $\frac{\text { Number of students playing baseball }}{\text{Total number of students}}$

P(B) = $\frac{12}{30}$ ---------------------------(3)

Finding $P(A \cap B)$

P(A) = $\frac{\text { Number of students playing both games }}{\text{Total number of students}}$

P(A) = $\frac{8}{30}$ -----------------------------(4)

Now substituting (2), (3) , (4) in (1), we get

$P(A \cup B)= \frac{19}{30} + \frac{12}{30} -\frac{8}{30}$

$P(A \cup B)= \frac{31}{30} -\frac{8}{30}$

$P(A \cup B)= \frac{23}{30}$
