Answer:
24 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
You use Pythagorean theorem. Since the normal equation is
, you already have the
and another side which can be
or
.
Because you have the hypotenuse and a side , your equation looks like this now:
and when you solve for be you just subtract
to get 24.
Answer:
4/663
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 queens and 4 kings in a deck. Drawing a queen would be 4/52. Drawing a king afterwards with replacing the queen would be 4/51 because you took a queen but didn't replace that one queen card so the deck has only 51 cards left after you drew the queen. Drawing a queen would not affect your chance of drawing a king card, it will only affect the total number of cards left because you didn't replace the card afterwards. 4*4=16;52*51=2652. 16/2652 can be simplified to 4/663 by dividing 4 to both numbers. 16/4=4 and 2652/4=663. The probability of drawing a queen then a king without replacement would be 4/663.
Answer:
The step 4 is not what he should have done. But the wrong is step 5, because if he added -2x both sides, it would give the following equation:

and not 
Note that in step 4 he should have added 2x and not -2x to both sides, but we still have the equality. The problem is that step 5 is totally wrong.
I don't know what answer is expected to this question, but I would mark step 5, because this is mathematically wrong.
Solving the equation

Using distribution

Add
both sides


Add 12 both sides

Divide both sides by 5

Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is


When we multiply we obtain the equations:


We add both equations to obtain:

Divide both sides by -7 to get:
