Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, substituting values
=
( cross- multiply )
21x = 7(24 - x) ← distribute
21x = 168 - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )
28x = 168 ( divide both sides by 28 )
x = 6 → C
1/2 chance per flip
1/2 times 4 is 1/8
its 1/8 chance or 12.5%
First of all we have to find the slope
m = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁
m = -8 + 16 / -10 + 8
m = 8/-2
m = -4
y-y₁ = m (x-x₁)
y + 8 = -4 (x + 10)
y + 8 = -4x - 40
y = -4x -40 - 8
y = -4x -48
Move -4 to the other side
7x=24+4
7x=28
x=4
