Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides

8-(3+b)=b-9

remember the distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac

distribute that invisible -1
-(3+b)=-1(3+b)=-1(3)-1(b)=-3-b

8-3-b=b-9
add like terms
5-b=b-9
add b to both sides
5=2b-9
add 9 to both sides
14=2b
divide both sides by 2
7=b
b=7

You are challenged to a lucky draw game. If you draw a face card (K, Q, J) from a standard deck of cards, you earn 10 points. If

Aleksandr [31]

The Expected value of a draw from the given question is; A; 0.77

We are told the face cards are K, Q, J. This means that there are 3 face cards for each of the 4 suits.

Since you earn 10 points for each face card, it means that;

total possible gain = 10 × 3 × 4 = 120

In a deck of cards, there are a total of 52 cards.

This means that;

Number of cards that are not K, Q or J = 52 - (4 × 3) = 40

Since 2 points are lost for drawing any of this 40 cards, then;

Total possible loss = 40 × 2 = 80

Expected gain = 120 - 80

Expected gain = 40

Expected value of a draw = 40/52

Expected value of a draw = 0.77

In the right triangle ABC shown, c=17ft and angle A=30 degrees Determine side a

jekas [21]

Using relations in a right triangle, considering c as the hypotenuse, we have that the length of side A is: $a = 8.5\sqrt{3}$

<h3>What are the relations in a right triangle?</h3>

The relations in a right triangle are given as follows:

The sine of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

The cosine of an angle is given by the length of the adjacent side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.

The tangent of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side to the angle.

From the information given, we can build the following relation:

cos(A) = a/c.

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{a}{17}$

$a = \frac{17\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$a = 8.5\sqrt{3}$
