Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The current probability of picking a red ball is \frac{x}{15}. When 5 more balls are added, the probability is 3/4. We can write a ratio for this problem:

\frac{x+5}{15+5} = \frac{3}{4}

When using cross multiplication to solve this, you get 3 * 20 = 4(x+5).

60 = 4x + 20

40 = 4x

x = 10 red balls

What is m∠M ? Brainliest to correct answer <3
nika2105 [10]

Sum of interior angles of triangle = 180

x + x + 6 + 3x - 16 = 180

5x - 10 = 180

5x = 190

x = 38

<M = 3(38) - 16

<M = 114 - 16

<M = 98°

Answer for the first one - it's complicated, but that maths is correct

I kind of cheated and did it a different way than they'd expect. By doing 24 squared, that gives you 576. 

since both angles are 45 degrees, then the sides are equal lengths. Therefore x squared times 2 = 576.

Because of this, x squared = 576 divided by 2, which equals 288.
Therefore the square root of 288 = 12 square root 2
