10 kids total
picking Truman would be 1 out of 10 or 1/10
then there would be 9 kids left so picking Ryan would be 1 out of 9 or 1/9
the probability of picking both would be 1/10 * 1/9 = 1/90
Answer:
y = - 5/2x - 23/2
Step-by-step explanation:
b = y - (slope)(x)
b = -4 - (-5/2)(-3)
b = -4 - 15/2 = - 23/2
y = -5/2x - 23/2
Given that the area is equal to twice the perimeter and the dimensions are:
length=4x ft, width=(x+6) ft
the perimeter will be:
P=2(L+W)
P=2(4x+(x+6))
P=2(4x+x+6)
P=2(5x+6)
P=(10x+12)
Area of the rectangle is:
A=4x(x+6)
A=4x²+24x
but:
2P=A
thus
2(10x+12)=4x²+24x
20x+24=4x²+24x
thus
4x²+4x-24=0
x²+x-6=0
x²-2x+3x-6=0
x(x-2)+3(x-2)=0
(x-2)(x+3)=0
thus the answer is:
x=-3 or x=2
thus
length=4x=4*2=8 ft
width=(x+6)=(2+6)=8 ft
