Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, both legs are always congruent. The length of one leg is given, and the other leg has to be the same. The perimeter of this triangle can be written as:

$x+(3x-5)+(3x-5)=39$

With this equation, all you need to do is solve for x.

$3+3x-5+3x-5=39\\(-5-5)+(x+3x+3x)=39\\-10+7x=39\\7x=49\\x=7$

keith is the leading goal scorer for a team in an hockey league. last season he scored 42 goals in 82 games. assuming he scores

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

0.512 goals per game

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The number of games is represented by 'x' and number of goals is represented by 'y'.

Now, 'y' varies directly with x and at a constant rate.

A direct relationship line is given as:

$y=mx$

Where, 'm' is the constant rate of change.

Now, for $x=82,y=42$

So, a point on the line is given as (82, 42).

Plug in the given values in the above equation and solve for 'm'. This gives,

$42=82m\\m=\frac{42}{82}\\m=0.512$

Therefore, Keith scores at a constant rate of 0.512 goals per game.

20 This spinner will be spun twice. What is the probability of

natali 33 [55]

Answer: the probability is 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 10 numbers:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Of those, the odd ones are:

1, 3, 5, 7, 9

So we have 5 odd numbers.

The probability that the outcome is an odd number is equal to the number of odd numbers divided the total number of numbers:

p = 5/10 = 0.5

For the second spin the probability is the same, p = 5/10, because the first outcome does not affect the results of the second spin.

The probability of spining an odd number both times, then is the joint probability for two times this same event:

P = (5/10)(5/10) = 0.5*0.5 = 0.25

or 25% in percent form
