Answer:

Jamal added 9 purple sox

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to increase the probability

Initially the probability is;

18/(6 + 18 + 12) = 18/36 = 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%

So now, the probability is 60% which is 60/100 or 0.6

If we added x socks, then we number of purple socks become (18 + x)

The total number of x will be (36 + x)

so the probability now will be;

18+x/36 + x = 0.6

18 + x = 0.6(x + 36)

18 + x = 0.6x + 21.6

x-0.6x = 21.6-18

0.4x = 3.6

x = 3.6/0.4

x = 9

The larger of two numbers is five more than twice the smaller number. The sum of the two numbers is 38. Find the numbers.
White raven [17]

Answer:

11 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A good way to solve these is to work backwards.

X= larger and Y= smaller

if X is 5 more than 2Y than subtract 5 from the total

38 - 5 = 33

divide by 3

33/3 = 11

11 = Y and double that is 22 so add the five back into X and you get 16

Each leg of an isosceles triangle is 4 meters longer than the base.the perimeter of the triangle is 26meters. Find the lengths o
Natali5045456 [20]

Because the triangle is isosceles, we know that it has 2 equal sides, which are the 2 legs. We can create an equation with the given information:

26 = 2(b + 4) + b

26 = 3b + 8

18 = 3b

b = 6

If the base is 6, add 4 to get 10.

base = 6 meters

leg = 10 meters

other leg = 10 meters

<em>Hope this helps! :)</em>

A man 6ft tall walks at a rate of 6ft/s away from a lamppost that is 23 ft high. At what rate is the length of his shadow changi
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Suppose,
x = distance of the man
<span>s = length of the shadow</span>

<span>Using the idea of similar triangles</span>

<span>6/s = 23/(x + s) </span>

<span>Simplifying:</span>
we get,
<span>6(x + s) = 23s </span>

<span>6x + 6s = 23s </span>

<span>6x = 17s </span>

<span>Differentiating with respect to time, </span>

<span>6(dx/dt) = 17(ds/dt) </span>

<span>Manipulating the above equation for ds/dt,</span>

<span>ds/dt = (17/6)(dx/dt) </span>

<span>ds/dt = (17/6)(6) </span>

<span>ds/dt = 17 ft/sec.</span>
