What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
vitfil [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the angle bisector theorem, we would have the following:

(x + 8)/10 = (2x - 5)/14

Cross multiply

14(x + 8) = 10(2x - 5)

14x + 112 = 20x - 50

Collect like terms

14x - 20x = -112 - 50

-6x = -162

Divide both sides by -6

-6x/-6 = -162/-6

x = 27

The length of a rectangular garden is 4 less than twice the width find the perimeter and area of the garden
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Let w be the width. Then the length is 2w-4. So:

w(2w-4)=96

2w²-4w-96=0

w²-2w-48=0

(w-8)(w+6)=0

w=8 or -6

Throwing out the negative value for w, we get a width of 8 yds, and a length of 12 yds. ☺☺☺☺

suppose that the lifetime of a transistor is a gamma random variable x with mean of 24 weeks and standard deviation of 12 weeks.
emmainna [20.7K]

The probability that the transistor will last between 12 and 24 weeks is 0.424

X= lifetime of the transistor in weeks E(X)= 24 weeks

O,= 12 weeks

The anticipated value, variance, and distribution of the random variable X were all provided to us. Finding the parameters alpha and beta is necessary before we can discover the solutions to the difficulties.

X~gamma(\alpha ,\beta)

E(X)= \alpha \beta                 \beta= 12^{2}/24=6 weeks

V(x)= \alpha \beta ^{2}                \alpha=24/6= 4

Now we can find the solutions:

The excel formula used to create Figure one is as follows:

=gammadist(X, \alpha, \beta, False)

P(12\leq X\leq 24)

P(12/6\leq G\leq 24/6)

P(2\leq G\leq 4)

P= 0.424

Therefore, probability that the transistor will last between 12 and 24 weeks is 0.424
