As we travel from (-2, p) to (2, 2p+1), x increases by 4 and y increases by p+1. Note that -2 + 4 = 2 (which is correct), and that p + (p+1) = 2p+1 (which is also correct).
p+1
Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -------- = 9
4
Then p + 1 = 36, and p = 35.
Answer:
24 times
Step-by-step explanation:
P(5 or 6) = 2/6
2/6 = x/72
cross-multiply:
6x = 144
x = 24
5x-6= 3x
⇒ 5x-3x= 6
⇒ 2x= 6
⇒ x= 6/2
⇒ x= 3
Final answer: x=3~
