Answer:

AB=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Colinear means all points are on the same line. We need to find the measure of AB.

Using the segment addition postulate,

ab+bc=ac

Subsitue this for our known values

$2x + 15 + 9 = x + 17$

Solve for x

$2x + 24 = x + 17$

$x + 24 = 17$

$x = - 7$

Plug this in for AB

$2( - 7) + 15 = 1$

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

P(2 quarters) = 19/ (13*16) = 19/208 = 0.0913

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of getting 2 quarters?

first draw: there are 20 quarters to choose from

second draw: there are 19 quarters left to choose

so Total coins are 65 coins

P(2 quarters) = P( 1st quarter)* P(2nd quarter)

P(2 quarters) = 20/65 * (19/64)

P(2 quarters) = 4/13 * 19/64

P(2 quarters) = 19/ (13*16) = 19/208

Mrs.Smith has two similiar recycling bins in her office. The dimension of the smaller bin can be found by dilating the dimension

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The dimension of the larger bin is x and the smaller bin is $0.75x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the dimension of the larger bin is x.

It is given that the dimension of the smaller bin can be found by dilating the dimension of the larger bin by a scale factor of 0.75

In order to find the dimension of the smaller bin multiply the dimension of the larger bin by 0.75

$(x)(0.75)=0.75x$

Hence, the dimension of the larger bin is x and the smaller bin is $0.75x$ .

Solve for x please help ! (show work)

Alina [70]

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-(5x-2) = 27

Distribute the minus sign

-5x +2 = 27

Subtract 2 from each side

-5x +2-2 = 27-2

-5x = 25

Divide by -5

-5x/-5 = 25/-5

x = -5
