Answer:

see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify

Let

x ---> the cost of the Xbox one at Walmart

Strategy

we know that

The cost of the Xbox one at Walmart multiplied by 2 plus $50 must be equal to $450

Set up

The algebraic expression that represent this situation is

$450=2x+50$

Solve

solve for x

$450=2x+50$

$2x=450-50\\2x=400\\x=\$200$

Check

substitute the value of x in the equation

$450=2(200)+50$

$450=450$ ----> is ok

Find the value of the variable.

nalin [4]

Answer:

The variable, y is 11°

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

in triangle ΔABC; ${}$ in triangle ΔFGH;

Segment $\overline {AB}$ = 14 ${}$ Segment $\overline {FG}$ = 14

Segment $\overline {BC}$ = 27 ${}$ Segment $\overline {GH}$ = 19

Segment $\overline {AC}$ = 19 ${}$ Segment $\overline {FH}$ = 2·y + 5

∡A = 32° ${}$ ∡G = 32°

∡A = ∠BAC which is the angle formed by segments $\overline {AB}$ = 14 and $\overline {AC}$ = 19

Therefore, segment $\overline {BC}$ = 27, is the segment opposite to ∡A = 32°

Similarly, ∡G = ∠FGH which is the angle formed by segments $\overline {FG}$ = 14 and $\overline {GH}$ = 19

Therefore, segment $\overline {FH}$ = 2·y + 5, is the segment opposite to ∡A = 32° and triangle ΔABC ≅ ΔFGH by Side-Angle-Side congruency rule which gives;

$\overline {FH}$ ≅ $\overline {BC}$ by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent (CPCTC)

∴ $\overline {FH}$ = $\overline {BC}$ = 27° y definition of congruency

$\overline {FH}$ = 2·y + 5 = 27° by transitive property

∴ 2·y + 5 = 27°

2·y = 27° - 5° = 22°

y = 22°/2 = 11°

The variable, y = 11°

What is the side length, in inches, of the pets

tatiyna

Candy draws a square design with a side length of x inches for the window at the pet shop. She takes the design to the printer and asks for a sign that has an area of 16x2 – 40x + 25 square inches. What is the side length, in inches, of the pet shop sign?

Answer:

the length of the sign is $4x-5$ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area of the square of design = $16x^{2} -40x+25$

First we find the roots of equation $16x^{2} -40x+25=0$

The roots of the quadratic equation $ax^{2} +bx^{2} +c=0$ are given by

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

where $a=16, b=-40, c=25$

$x=\frac{40\pm\sqrt{(-40)^2-4\times 16\times 25}}{2\times 16}$

$x=\frac{40\pm\sqrt{1600-1600}}{32}$

$x=\frac{40\pm\sqrt{0}}{32}$

$x=\frac{40}{32}$

$x=\frac{5}{4}$

$4x=5\\4x-5=0$

That is, the factors of the polynomial $16x^{2} -40x+25$ are $4x-5$ and $4x-5$ .

So, Area of the square design = $16x^{2} -40x+25$ = $(4x-5)^{2}$

Area of a square = Length^2

Thus, the length of the sign is $4x-5$ inches

Sam rolled a die 75 times. On 39 of those rolls, he had a 6. Which statement is TRUE when the probabilities are compared?

svetlana [45]

Answer:

D)The experimental probability is greater than the theoretical probability

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

75 times a die is rolled out of 39 times it got 6

To Find :

Which statement is true?

Solution:

The theoretical probability is given by the ,

Pt=No.of favorable outcomes/Total outcomes

Here favorable is getting 6 on the die

so how many times we can get 6 =1 time

Total outcomes =6

Pt=1/6

Pt=0.1667

Now for

The experimental Probability ,

Pe=Number times that event occur /Total no of trails

Here 39 times we get 6 and total no trails are 75

Pe=39/75

Pe=0.52

Hence we can say that Pe>Pt.
