A, B and C are collinear and B is in the middle.
so we have AB + BC =AC
6x +x-5= 23
7x -5=23
adding 5 to both sides
7x=23+5
7x =28
dividing both sides by 7
we get x=28/7 =4
So answer is x=4
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The months whose names end in 'y' include Jan, Feb, May, Jul. The probability of randomly selecting a month whose name ends in 'y' is 4/12 (remember that there are 12 months in a year), or 1/3.
Thus, the probability of selecting a month whose name does NOT end in 'y' is 8/12, or 2/3. Note that this event is the 'complement' of the first event:
P(name does not end in 'y') = 1 - P(name does not end in 'y') = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3
First, find the area for the kitchen floor: 16.5*15=247.5 squared feet
Then find the area for one tile: 0.5*0.5=0.25 squared feet
Finally, divide the mayor area between the minor: 247.5/0.25= 990 tiles.
Also you can do it in this another way:
First, divide length of the kitchen floor between the length of one tile: 16.5/0.5=33
Then, do the same for the height: 15/0.5=30
Finally multyply both results: 33*30= 990 tiles.
