Answer:

5/24 or 20.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

 

Probability that the 7th grader is a boy = number of boys/(total kids) = 4/(4+4) = 1/2

 

Probability that the 8th grader is a boy = 5/(5+7) = 5/12

 

Probability that both are boys = 1/2*(5/12) = 5/24 or 20.8%

7<br> Solve the equation x^2 - 8x + 15 = 0.
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

x=5   x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 8x + 15 = 0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to 15 and add to -8

-5*-3 = 15

-5-3 = -8

(x-5)(x-3) =0

Using the zero product property

x-5 =0    x-3 =0

x=5   x=3

Question down below¡
lutik1710 [3]
Pattern A starts with 20 and substracts 3
First number = 20
Second number = 20 - 3 = 17
Third number = 17 - 3 = 14
Fourth number = 14 - 3 = 11

Pattern B starts with 10 and adds 2
First number = 10
Second number = 10 + 2 = 12
Third number = 12 + 2 = 14
Fourth number = 14 + 2 = 16

Now join pattern A and B
First combination = (20,10)
Second combination = (17,12)
Third combination = (14, 14)
Fourth combination = (11, 16)

The answer is d. (20,10), (17,12), (14,14), (11,16)

A parallelogram has a base of length 2x + 1 and a height of x + 3 and has an area of
storchak [24]

Answer:

  • base 7
  • height 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given expressions, we can write the area as ...

  A = BH

  42 = (2x +1)(x +3) = 2x^2 +7x +3

  2x ^2 +7x -39 = 0

  (x -3)(2x +13) = 0

  x = 3   or   -6.5  . . . . .  these values make the factors be zero

In order for the parallelogram to have positive dimensions, the value of x must be 3. So, the base and height are ...

  base = 2(3) +1 = 7

  height = 3 +3 = 6
