X = 10

The triangles are similar by SAS, so we can set up a proportion of their sides.

9/(33-9) = 12/(3x+2)
9/24 = 12/3x+2

Reduce
3/8 = 12/3x+2

Cross multiply
3(3x+2) = 12*8

Distribute and multiply
9x + 6 = 96

Subtract 6
9x = 90

Divide by 9
x = 10

Check:
9/24 = 12/3x+2
9/24 = 12/3*10 + 2
9/24 = 12/30 + 2
9/24 = 12/32
3/8 = 3/8 :)

Nathaniel had a bag of 5 green marbles,3 blue marbles,6 red marbles,and 6 yellow marbles.Find the probability if Nathaniel pulls
Dovator [93]
To find probability, you'd have to find the total number of marbles (5+3+6+6=20), and since there are 3 blue marbles, the probability of picking one is 3 out of 20, or 3/20
If that blue marble isn't replaced, there will then be 19 marbles, and 2 blue ones. So the probability of him picking another blue marble is 2/19

Simplify the expressions. Show your work.
Hunter-Best [27]
7) Use distributive property
3x(4x⁴ - 5x)=3x*4x⁴- 3x*5x = 12x⁵ - 15x²
8) When you open parenthesis with minus sigh in front of it, you need change sings of the terms on opposite. Then find like terms.
(5x⁴-3x³+6x)-(3x³+11x²-8x)= 5x⁴-3x³+6x -3x³-11x²+8x =5x⁴-6x³ - 11x²+14x
9)(x-2)(3x-4)=x*3x-4x-6x+8=3x²-10x+8
10) (x+6)²=(x+6)(x+6)=x²+6x+6x+36=x²+12x+36
For (x+6)², you can also use the formula of the perfect square
(a+b)²=a²+2ab+b²
For (x+6)² =x²+2*x*6 +6²=x²+12x+36
