Answer:
x = 19
A = 30°
B = C = 75°
Step-by-step explanation:
In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the congruent sides have the same measures.
A = B
3x +18 = 7x -58
76 = 4x . . . . . . . . add 58-4x
19 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
Then the equal angles measure ...
A = B = 3(19) +18 = 75
C = 2(19) -8 = 30
Angles A, B, C measure 75°, 75°, 30°, respectively.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so you could write ...
(3x +18) +(7x -58) +(2x -8) = 180
12x = 228 . . . . . add 48
x = 19 . . . . . divide by 12
Answer:
1) y = 2/3x - 2
2) y = -1/2x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Parallel lines have the same slopes. Write it in standard form (y = mx + c), then substitute the values of the coordinates into the equation.
y = 2/3x + c
0 = 2/3(3) + c
0 = 2 + c
0 - 2 = c
- 2 = c
Therefore, the slope-intercept form for the first part is y = 2/3x - 2.
2) Parallel lines have the same slopes. Write it in standard form (y = mx + c), then substitute the values of the coordinates into the equation.
y = -1/2x + c
1 = -1/2(4) + c
1 = -2 + c
1 + 2 = c
3 = c
Therefore, the slope-intercept form for the second part is y = -1/2x + 3.
The answer to your question is that you are not correct you have to read between the lines
1. The probability that your mail is delivered before 2 pm is 0.9, so the probability that the mail is delivered at 2 pm or after 2 pm (so not before 2 pm) is 1-0.9=0.1.
Remark: 0.9=9/10=90/100=90%, and 0.1 is 10%
2. Probability of the mail being delivered before 2 pm for 2 consecutive days is
