Answer: 10x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that perimeter P is 2L+2W

2L= 2(3x+2)=6x+4

2W=2(2x-5)=4x-10

P=6x+4+4x-10=10x-6

Caleb and Mike both score the same amount of points in a game. Caleb has fifteen less than the total number of points. Mike has

elena-s [515]

Answer:
129 points
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L and C represent the scores of Luke and Caleb, respectively.
L = 2C -15 . . . . . Luke scored 15 less than twice the number Caleb did
L +C = 201 . . . . . they scored 201 points altogether
Add twice the second equation to the first:
2(L +C) + (L) = 2(201) + (2C -15)
3L +2C = 387 +2C . . . . simplify
3L = 387 . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 2C
L = 387/3 = 129 . . . . . . .divide by 3
Luke scored 129 points.

The probability that a student has a Visa card (event V) is .63. The probability that a student has a MasterCard (event M) is .1

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

a) The probability that a student has either a Visa card or a MasterCard is 0.71.

b) V and M are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability that a student has a Visa card (event V) is 0.63. The probability that a student has a MasterCard (event M) is 0.11. The probability that a student has both cards is 0.03.

To find :

a) The probability that a student has either a Visa card or a MasterCard ?

b) In this problem, are V and M independent ?

Solution :

The probability that a student has a visa card(event V) is P(V)= 0.63

The probability that a student has a MasterCard (event M) is P(M)= 0.11

The probability that a student has both cards is $P(V \cap M)=0.03$

a) Probability that a student has either a Visa card or a Master Card is given by,

$P(V \cup M) = P(V) + P(M) - P(V\cap M)$

$P(V \cup M) = 0.63+ 0.11- 0.03$

$P(V \cup M) =0.74- 0.03$

$P(V \cup M) =0.71$

The probability that a student has either a Visa card or a MasterCard is 0.71.

b) Two events, A and B, are independent if $P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B)$

For V and M to be independent the condition is satisfied,

$P(V\cap M)=P(V)P(M)$

Substitute the values,

$0.03=0.63\times 0.11$

$0.03\neq 0.0693$

So, V and M are not independent.

Using the line ab name two line segments<br> Brainliest

ohaa [14]

Answer:

A. AC, CB

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer you have selected is correct because a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points, and contains every point on the line that is between its endpoints. Thus the answer A is correct!

Hope this helps

Tasha lists all the multiple of 3 from 3 to99. Tony lists all the multiples of 5 from 5 to100. What is the first number that is

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Multiples of 3 = 3, 9
Multiples of 5 = 5, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

In a list of 3 to 99, the first multiple of 3 will be none other than 3 itself because when multiplied by 1, you get three.

The second number will be: 3 * 2 = 6

In a list from 5 to 100, the first multiple will be 5 with 5 being a multiple of itself when multiplied by 1.

Second number = 5 * 2 = 10

The sum of 5 consecutive numbers is -5. What is the largest out of the numbers?

xxTIMURxx [149]

We can say that x is the largest number.

So the sum is x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) + (x - 3) + (x - 4) = -5

Now solve for x:

x + x + x + x + x - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 = -5

5x - 10 = -5

5x = 5

x = 1

So the largest number is 1.

Check: 1 + 0 + -1 + -2 + -3 = -2 + -3 = -5 so 1 is correct.
