9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In a square, two sides have equal measures:

  3x +2 = 5x -14

  16 = 2x . . . . . . . . add 14-3x to both sides

  8 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

_____

The side lengths are 3(8) +2 = 26 = 5(8) -14.

before conducting some experiments, a scientist mixes 1/2 gram of Substance A with 3/4 gram of Substance B. If the scientist use
horrorfan [7]

Mixing the two ingredients would be adding them together:

1/2 gram + 3/4 gram = 1 1/4 total grams


Divide the total grams by 1/8 to find the number of experiments they can do:

1 1/4 / 1/8 = 5/4 / 1/8 = 5/4 * 8/1 = 40/4 = 10


They can conduct 10 experiments.

2. What is the probability of spinning an A on the first spinner and an odd number
pychu [463]

Answer: <em>1/10</em>

Step-by-step explanation: These two events are independent, meaning the outcome of the first event doesn't affect the outcome of the second.

To find the probability of independent events, first, find the

probability of each event, then multiplies the probabilities.

The probability of spinning an A on the first spinner is 1/5

since there is 1 favorable outcome and 5 total outcomes.

The probability of spinning an odd number on the second spinner

is 3/6 which simplifies to 1/2 since there are 3 favorable outcomes,

spinning a 1, 3, or another 3 since these are odd numbers.

So now we have 1/5 × 1/2 and when multiplying fractions,

we multiply across the numerators and denominators to get 1/10.

So the probability of spinning an A, then an odd number is 1/10.

Find the coordinates of the missing endpoint if m is the midpoint of ab. a(-9, -4) and m(-7, -2.5)
Julli [10]

Answer:

The coordinates of the point b are:

b(x₂, y₂)  = (-5, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

As m is the midpoint, so

m(x, y) = m (-7, -2.5)

The other point a is given by

a(x₁, y₁) = a(-9, -4)

To determine

We need to determine the coordinates of the point b

= ?

Using the midpoint formula

\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)

substituting (x, y) = (-7, -2.5), (x₁, y₁) = (-9, -4)

\left(-7,\:-2.5\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+\left(-9\right)}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+\left(-4\right)}{2}\right)

Thus equvating,

Determining the x-coordinate of b

[x₂ + (-9)] / 2 = -7

x₂ + (-9) = -14

x₂ - 9 = -14

adding 9 to both sides

x₂ - 9 + 9 = -14 + 9

x₂ = -5

Determining the y-coordinate of b

[y₂ + (-4)] / 2 = -2.5

y₂ + (-4) = -2.5(2)

y₂ - 4 = -5

adding 4 to both sides

y₂ - 4 + 4 = -5 + 4

y₂ = -1

Therefore, the coordinates of the point b are:

b(x₂, y₂)  = (-5, -1)
