Answer:

x = 8
12 = BD
23 = BE
13 = CE

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

BD = 2x - 4
DE = 2x - 3 - 2
BE = 3x - 1
CE = 2x - 3

Solution:

(2x - 4) + (2x - 3 - 2) = 3x - 1
=> 2x - 4 + 2x - 3 - 2 = 3x - 1
=> 4x - 9 = 3x - 1
=> 4x - 3x = 9 - 1
=> x = 8
=> 2x - 4 = BD
=> 2(8) - 4 = BD
=> 16 - 4 = BD
=> 12 = BD
=> 3x - 1 = BE
=> 3(8) - 1 = BE
=> 24 - 1 = BE
=> 23 = BE
=> 2x - 3 = CE
=> 2(8) - 3 = CE
=> 16 - 3 = CE
=> 13 = CE

Hence, the answers are:

x = 8
12 = BD
23 = BE
13 = CE

2. In a recent survey conducted by the International Nanny Association, 4,176 nannies were placed in a job in a given year. Only

Natali [406]

Answer:

There is a 0.57% probability that a randomly selected nanny who was placed during the last year is a male nanny (a "mannie").

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem, we have that:

Desired outcomes:

The number of male nannies selected. 24 of the nannies placed were men. So the number of desired outcomes is 24.

Total outcomes:

The number of nannies selected. 4,176 nannies were placed in a job in a given year. So the number of total outcomes 4176.

Find the probability that a randomly selected nanny who was placed during the last year is a male nanny (a "mannie").

$P = \frac{24}{4176} = 0.0057$

There is a 0.57% probability that a randomly selected nanny who was placed during the last year is a male nanny (a "mannie").

12z-7z-2=13 solve for z

devlian [24]

Answer: z = 3

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this equation for z, we can first combine our like terms on the left side of the equation. Since 12 and 7 both have z after their coefficient, we can subtract 12z - 7z to get 5z.

Now we have 5z - 2 = 13.

To solve from here, we add 2 to the left side of the equation in order to isolate 5z. If we add 2 to the left side, we must also add 2 to the right side. On the left side, the -2 and +2 cancel out. On the right, 13 + 2 simplifies to 15.

Now we have 5z = 15.

Solving from here, we divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get z alone. On the left side, the 5's cancel out and we are simply left with z. On the right side, 15 divided by 5 simplifies to 3 so we have z = 3.
