Answer: AB is 15

Step-by-step explanation: First, you need to draw a picture and label the parts of the line: AB=5x-15; BC= 3x-5; AC =28. Because of the segment addition postulate, you set the equation to be 5x-15+3x-5=28. Then you solve:

5x-15+3x-5=28

Add like terms:

8x-20=28

Add 20 to both sides

8x=48

Divide by 8

x=6

Now, you need to find the measure of AB, so you plug the 6 into the x variable for 5x-15

5(6)-15

30-15

AB=15

In a standard deck of cards there 52 cards of which 26 are black and 26 are red. Additionally, there are 4 suits, hearts, clubs,

stich3 [128]

Using probability concepts, it is found that P(S and D) = 0.1275.

-----------------------

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of desired outcomes.
In a standard deck, there are 52 cards.
Of those, 13 are spades, and 13 are diamond.

The probability of selecting a spade with the first card is 13/52. Then, there is a 13/51 probability of selecting a diamond with the second. The same is valid for diamond then space, which means that the probability is multiplied by 2. Thus, the desired probability is:

$P(S \cap D) = 2 \times \frac{13}{52} \times \frac{13}{51} = \frac{2\times 13 \times 13}{52 \times 51} = 0.1275$

Thus, P(S and D) = 0.1275.

What is the factorization of the trinomial below? 3x3 + 6x2 - 24x

Allisa [31]

3x^3 + 6x^2 - 24x

= 3x(x^2 + 2x - 8)

= 3x(x + 4)(x - 2)

Hope it helps.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

X = 32 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown distance be X.

Given the following data;

Distance = 8 meters per hour
Time = 4 hours

To find how many meters he would cover in four hours;

1 hour = 8 meters

4 hours = X meters

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 8 * 4

X = 32 meters.
