Answer:
<h2>x = 3 and y = 4</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
We know:
The diagonals in a parallelogram divide by halves.
Therefore KG = UG and DG = CG.
We have
KG = 5y - 8, UG = 3y, DG = 4x - 7, CG = x + 2
Substitute:
5y - 8 = 3y <em>add 8 to both sides</em>
5y = 3y + 8 <em>subtract 3y from both sides</em>
2y = 8 <em>divide both sides by 2</em>
y = 4
---------------
4x - 7 = x + 2 <em>add 7 to both sides</em>
4x = x + 9 <em>subtract x from both sides</em>
3x = 9 <em>divide both sides by 3</em>
x = 3
Answer:
15% & 3/20
Step-by-step explanation:
convert decimals to % by multiplying by 100
.15 * 100 = 15%
15/100
simplify
3/20
The reason fractions need a common denominator before adding or subtracting is so that the numbers of pieces you are adding/subtracting are all the same size. Note that the numerator of a fraction just tells you how many pieces you have of that size.
Answer:
5/14
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of cards is 8
There are 5 blue cards
P(1st card is blue) = blue/total = 5/8
We take away a blue card
The total number of cards is 7
There are 4 blue cards
P(2nd card is blue) = blue/total = 4/7
The probability of blue blue is P(blue blue ) =
P(1st card is blue)*P(2nd card is blue) =
5/8* 4/7
20/56
We can divide the top and bottom by 4
5/14
