Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of numbers in all rows, columns and diagonals have to be the same.

Notice the diagonals do not have an x so let's sum those numbers to see what the sum for all must be.

-2+(1/2) +3 = (-4+1+6)/2 = 3/2

-5+(1/2)+6 = (-10+1+12)/2 = 3/2

Now we can pick the first row and sum the numbers up knowing that the result should be 3/2, will find x

-2+x-3+6 = 3/2, combine like terms

         x+1 = 3/2 , subtract 1 from both sides

            x = (3/2)-1, find common denominator and subtract

            x = (3-2)/2, combine like terms

            x = 1/2

Check or work:

Rows from top to down

-2 +(1/2) -3 +6 = (-4+1-6+12)/2 = 3/2✅

17*(1/2) +(1/2) +(1/2)-8 = (17+1+1-16)/2 = 3/2✅

-5+(9/2) -2(1/2) +3 = (-10+9-2+6)/2 = 3/2✅

Columns from left to right

-2+17(1/2)-5 = (-4+17-10)/2 =3/2✅

(1/2)-3+(1/2)+(9/2)-2(1/2) = (1-6+1+9-2)/2 = 3/2✅

6+(1/2)-8+3 = (12+1-16+6)/2 = 3/2✅

Diagonals

-2+(1/2) +3 = (-4+1+6)/2 = 3/2✅

-5+(1/2)+6 = (-10+1+12)/2 = 3/2✅

A tree and a building stand side by side. The 5-foot tall tree cast a shadow of 12 feet. If the building is 80 feet tall, how lo
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The shadow of the building = 192 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ There is a proportional relation between the heights of the tree and the building and their shadows

∴ Height tree/height building = shadow tree/shadow building

\frac{5}{80}=\frac{12}{x}

x = \frac{(80)(12)}{5}= 192 ft ⇒ x is the length of the shadow of the building

A positive integer from one to six is to be chosen by casting a die. Thus the elements c of the sample space C are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that six integers 1,2,3,4,5 and 6.

We are given that sample space

C={1,2,3,4,5,6}

Probability of each element=\frac{1}{6}

We have to find that P(C_1),P(C_2),P(C_1\cap C_2) \;and\; P(C_1\cup C_2)

Total number of elements=6

C_1={1,2,3,4}

Number of elements in C_1=4

P(E)=\frac{number\;of\;favorable \;cases}{Total;number \;of\;cases}

Using the formula

P(C_1)=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}

C_2={3,4,5,6}

Number of elements in C_2=4

P(C_2)=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}

C_1\cap C_2={3,4}

Number of elements in (C_1\cap C_2)=2

P(C_1\cap C_2)=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

C_1\cup C_2={1,2,3,4,5,6}

P(C_1\cup C_2)=\frac{6}{6}=1

Passes through the point (0,6) and has a slope of -2/3
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

y=-\frac{2}{3}x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a line has a slope of -2/3 and passes through the point (0,6)

We want to write the equation of this line; there are 3 forms of the line that we can use:

  • Slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
  • Standard form, which is ax+by=c, where a, b, and c are free integer coefficients, but a and b cannot be 0, and a cannot be negative
  • Slope-point form, which is y-y_1=m(x-x_1), where m is the slope and (x_1, y_1) is a point

All though while writing the equation of the line in any of these ways is acceptable, the most common way is to write it in slope-intercept form, so let's do it that way.

As we are already given the slope, we can immediately substitute m with that value.

Replace m with -2/3:

y = -2/3x + b

Now we need to find b.

As the equation passes through the point (0, 6), we can use it to help solve for b.

Substitute 0 as x and 6 as y.

6 = -2/3(0) + b

Multiply

6 = 0 + b

Add

6 = b

Substitute 6 as b.

y = -2/3x + 6
