The incomplete table below summarizes the number of left-handed students and right-handed students by gender for the eighth-grad

e students at Keisel Middle School. There are 5 times as many right-handed female students as there are left-handed female students, and there are 9 times as many right-handed male students as there are left-handed male students. if there is a total of 18 left-handed students and 122 right-handed students in the school, which of the following is closest to the probability that a right-handed student selected at random is female? (Note: Assume that none of the eighth-grade students are both right-handed and left-handed.)
A) 0.410
B) 0.357
C) 0.333

Answer: A) 0.410

In order to solve this problem, you should create two equations using two variables (x and y) and the information you're given. Let x be the number of left-handed female students and let y be the number of left-handed male students. Using the information given in the problem, the number of right-handed female students will be 5x and the number of right-handed male students will be 9y. Since the total number of left-handed students is 18 and the total number of right-handed students is 122, the system of equations below must be true:

x+y=18

5x+9y=122

7+3x-12x=3x+1 is it Infinitely many solutions, one solution, or no solutions with steps please
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

  • One solution

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 7 + 3x - 12x = 3x + 1
  • 7 - 9x = 3x + 1
  • 3x + 9x = 7 - 1
  • 12x = 6
  • x = 6/12
  • x = 1/2

It has one solution

Urgent Help needed w/ right triangle trig
Svetllana [295]
It is clearly understood from the image that LPNM is a square.

Let the side of the square be 'a' units.

Then by Pythagorean theorem.

{c}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  +  {a}^{2}  \\  \\  {c}^{2}  = 2 {a}^{2}
Now taking square root on both side we get ;

c =  \sqrt{2} a
Now pluging the value of C in the above equation we get ;

12 =  \sqrt{2} a \\  \\ a =  \frac{12}{ \sqrt{2} }  = 6 \sqrt{2}
Therefore LP = 6√2 units.
