Answer in fraction form: x = 55/4

Answer in decimal form: x = 13.75

Both forms are equivalent, but they say it in a slightly different way.

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

Work Shown:

AC/QY = CD/YW

(x+5)/15 = 5/4

4(x+5) = 15*5

4x+20 = 75

4x = 75-20

4x = 55

x = 55/4

x = 13.75

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

Explanations:

The first step is possible because the polygons are similar. Similar figures have their corresponding sides be in the same proportion or ratio. Note how side AC has the double red angle (at point A) and a single red angle (point C). The side QY has the same idea in the same order. This is why AC corresponds to QY. The ratio AC/QY is the same as CD/YW.
In the second step, I plugged in the expressions that the diagram shows. This is the substitution property.
On step 3, I cross multiplied. The general format is A/B = C/D cross multiplies to A*D = B*C.

The correct answer is true. To maintain your body temperature, your body converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy. The human body converts the energy stored in the food into some other energy specifically thermal energy.

Multiply using FOIL or Table method (x + 4) (x + 5)

mylen [45]

Answer:

${x}^{2} + 9x + 20$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use FOIL method: (a + b) (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd.

${x}^{2} + 5x + 4x + 20$

2) Collect like terms.

${x}^{2} + (5x + 4x) + 20$

3) Simplify.

${x}^{2} + 9x + 20$

Therefor, the answer is x² + 9x + 20.

Write the fraction in lowest terms. 13/17

Dmitry [639]

13/17 is at the lowest because they are both prime numbers.

Complete this table to show the sample space for each roll in the game

leva [86]

I'm assuming you only need help with part B. If that's the case, then all we do is add up the values outside of the table to get the inner cell results. For example, in row 1, column 1, we have 1's outside. They add to 1+1 = 2. So we'll have 2 in the first row and first column of the table. The other cells are computed in this way. In figure 1 (see attached image), I show the intermediate step of adding. Then in figure 2, I actually add up the values and show the final result of what the table will look like when all said and done. Take note of the color coding to help see how the values match up for each inner cell of the table. The color coding is optional.

Edit:

Part C -- Part 1) Probability of rolling double sixes

There are five copies of "6" in the table (see figure 2 of the attached image) out of 36 total possibilities. How did I get 36? It's the result of multiplying 6*6. This is because there are 6 faces per die. As the table shows, there are 6 rows and 6 columns giving 36 cells total.

So we divide the number of times "6" shows up (5 times) out of the number of total possibilities (36 total) to get: 5/36 = 0.1389 = 13.89%

Answer as a fraction: 5/36

Answer as a decimal: 0.1389

Answer as a percent: 13.89%

The decimal and percent forms are approximate

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

Part C -- Part 2) Probability of rolling doubles

To roll doubles, all we need to do is roll the same number twice on each die. In other words, we have "twin values" so to speak. Back in part 1 above, we dealt with just '6's showing up twice. There are other doubles as well

The doubles possibilities are:

1 and 1

2 and 2

3 and 3

4 and 4

5 and 5

6 and 6

Each combo listed above only shows up once. So we have 6 instances where we have doubles (one instance per side of the die). This is out of 36 total

Divide the values mentioned: 6/36 = 1/6 = 0.1667 = 16.67%

Answer as a fraction: 1/6

Answer as a decimal: 0.1667

Answer as a percent: 16.67%

The decimal and percent forms are approximate
