Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
The two angles form a straight line so they add to 180 degrees
3+6x + 5x+12 = 180
Combine like terms
11x+15 = 180
Subtract 15 from each side
11x+15-15 =180-15
11x = 165
Divide by 11
11x/11 =165/11
x =15
No solution! Hope this helped
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
be the greater number and
be the smaller number. We know that their difference is 15, so we have

Then, we have the following information: if we add twice the greater (2x) and 8 (2x+8), the result is 3 times the lesser (3y) minus four (3y-4). So, we have

So, we have the follwing system:

From the first equation, we can derive
, and substitute this expression in the second equation to get

Substitute this value for y in the first equation to get

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
5 ÷ 8 = 0.625 = 62.5%
Assume that each material in each category has an equal chance of being selected.
Categories:
(a) Type of wood used to make the cabinet: birch, maple, cherry.
Each type of wood has a probability of 1/3 to be selected.
(b) Type of finish: transparent, semi-transparent.
Each type of finish has a probability of 1/2 to be selected.
(c) Knob: bronze, steel, wood.
Each material has 1/3 probability to be selected.
Each event (selecting material for the cabinet, for the finish, and for the knob) is an independent event.
Therefore
Probablity(birch wood AND bronze knob) = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9
Probability(wood knob) = 1/3
Probability(transparent stain) = 1/2
Probability(cheryy wood AND semi-transparent stain) = (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6
