Assuming that each marble can be picked with equal probability, we notice that there is a total of
marbles, of which 2 are red.
So, the probability of picking a red marble is
In fact, as in any other case of (finite) equidistribution, we used the formula
The answer is
x=10+2y
Steps:
2(x-2y)=20
x-2y=20/2 (in fraction form 20/2)
x-2y=10
X=10+2y
See the picture attached.
We know:
NM // XZ
NY = transversal line
∠YXZ ≡ ∠YNM
1) <span>
We know that ∠XYZ is congruent to ∠NYM by the reflexive property.</span>
The reflexive property states that any shape is congruent to itself.
∠NYM is just a different way to call ∠XYZ using different vertexes, but the sides composing the two angles are the same.
Hence, ∠XYZ ≡ <span>∠NYM</span> by the reflexive property.
2) Δ<span>
XYZ is similar to ΔNYM by the AA (angle-angle) similarity theoremThe AA similarity theorem states that if two triangles have a pair of corresponding angles congruent, then the two triangles are similar.
Consider </span>Δ<span>XYZ and ΔNYM:
</span>∠YXZ ≡ <span>∠YNM
</span>∠XYZ ≡ ∠NYM
Hence, ΔXYZ is similar to ΔNYM by the AA similarity theorem.
Hey there!
When two lines intersect, the pairs of angles that are directly across from each other (ex. the pair depicted in the image) are called opposite angles. These angles always measure the same.
This means that we can set the two expressions equal to each other and solve for x:
2x + 2 = 3x - 52
x = 54
Hope this helps!
