<h3>Answer:  x = 8</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

The tickmarks tell us which sides are the same length. This in turn tells us that points N and O are midpoints of LJ and LK respectively (since midpoints cut a segment in half). We consider segment NO to be a midsegment.

Recall that midsegments are half as long as the side they are parallel to. That means segment NO is half as long as JK. This reverses to segment JK being twice as long as segment NO.

-------------

JK = 2*(NO)

2x+8 = 2*(12)

2x+8 = 24

2x+8-8 = 24-8 .... subtract 8 from both sides

2x = 16

2x/2 = 16/2 ...... divide both sides by 2

x = 8

If x = 8, then 2x+8 = 2*8+8 = 16+8 = 24. This shows that segment JK is 24 units long which is double that of midsegment NO being 12 units long. This confirms we have the correct x value.

The Venn diagram shows the results of two events resulting from rolling a number cube.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

P(A|B)=\frac{2}{3}

P(A)*P(B)=\frac{1}{3}

P(A) =\frac{2}{3}

P(B) =\frac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Venn diagram to calculate the desired probabilities.

Note that there are 6 possible results in the sample space

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Then note that in the region representing the intercept of A and B there are two possible values.

So

P (A\ and\ B) = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}

In the region that represents event A there are 4 possible outcomes {4, 5, 1, 2}

So

P(A) = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}

In the region that represents event B there are 3 possible outcomes {1, 2, 6}

So

P(B) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}.

Now

P(A | B)=\frac{P(A \ and\ B)}{P(B)}\\\\P(A | B)=\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\P(A|B)=\frac{2}{3}

P(A)*P(B)=\frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{3}

Elvira is comparing prices between two different suppliers of fresh lettuce. Val’s Veggies charges $250 for delivery plus $1.50
ad-work [718]

Answer:

61 bags of lettuce

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create two equations representing the cost of bags of lettuce:

Val's Veggies: 250 + 1.50x = V

Sally's Salads: 100 + 4.00x = S

If you buy 60 bags of lettuce from either store, the answers will be equivalent:

If x = 60

250 + 1.50x = V

250 + 90 = V

340 = V

100 + 4.00x = S

100 + 240 = S

340 = S

Now that both equations are equivalent, all we need to do to tip the balance and make Val's Veggies cheaper is purchase one more bag of lettuce:

x = 61

250 + 1.50x = V

250 + 91.50 = V

341.50 = V

100 + 4.00x = S

100 + 244 = S

344 = S

Since V represents the price of a bag of lettuce at Val's Veggies and V is now less than S (Sally's Salads), Val's Veggies is now the cheaper option.

Therefore, 61 bags of lettuce must be purchased in order for Val's Veggies to be the cheaper option.
