Answer:

x = 63

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can deduce the following points;

- 12 less than x which simply means 12 subtracted from x.

- the value of the above expression is equal to 51.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

x - 12 = 51

Rearranging the equation (collecting like terms), we have;

x = 51 + 12

x = 63

Suppose you pick two cards from a deck of 52 playing cards. What is the probability that they are both queens?

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

0.45% probability that they are both queens.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes

The combinations formula is important in this problem:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

Desired outcomes

You want 2 queens. Four cards are queens. I am going to call then A,B,C,D. A and B is the same outcome as B and A. That is, the order is not important, so this is why we use the combinations formula.

The number of desired outcomes is a combinations of 2 cards from a set of 4(queens). So

$D = C_{4,2} = \frac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} = 6$

Total outcomes

Combinations of 2 from a set of 52(number of playing cards). So

$T = C_{52,2} = \frac{52!}{2!(52-2)!} = 1326$

What is the probability that they are both queens?

$P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{6}{1326} = 0.0045$

0.45% probability that they are both queens.

Find the area and perimeter of the shape above

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Perimeter: 18.5

Area: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

P = a + b + c

P = 5 + 6 + 7.5

P= 18.5

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2*7.5*4

A= 15
