If DE and BC are parallel, their sides must be proportional.

2/x+1 = 5/4x-2
Use cross multiplication:
8x-4=5x+5
3x=9
x=3

Plug this in:
x: 3
AE: 3+1 = 4
CE: 4(3)-2 = 12-2 = 10
AB: 2 + 5 = 7
AC: AE+CE = 4 + 10 = 14

What is the probability of rolling an odd or non-prime number using a 12-sided die?
andriy [413]

Answer:

D) 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

From 1 to 12, 6 numbers are odd (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11).

7 numbers are non-prime (1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12).

2 numbers are both odd and non-prime (1 and 9).

Therefore, the probability is:

(6 + 7 − 2) / 12 = 11/12

Grade 3: Explain why it does not matter what letter or symbol is used to find an unknown number
Elodia [21]
The coefficient (letter chosen) that is used does not matter as it is only to show that it is an unknown variable, if you have more than one variable you need more than one type of coefficient (use different letters for different ones you dont know).
