Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of boxes of cookies that Kendal bought to bring to the party is x.

Each box contains 12 cookies. This means that total number of cookies in x boxes would be

12 × x = 12x

She decides to keep two boxes for herself. This means that the total number of cookies that she kept for herself would be

12 × 2 = 24 cookies

She brings 60 cookies to the party.

The equation that can be used to find the number of boxes, x, Kendal bought would be

12x = 24 + 60

12x = 84

x = 84/12 = 7 boxes

Consider a set of 7500 scores on a national test whose score is known to be distributed normally with a mean of 510 and a standa
german
\mathbb P(X>600)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-510}{85}>\dfrac{600-510}{85}\right)=\mathbb P(Z>1.059)\approx0.145

So approximately 14.5% of the scores are higher than 600. This means in a sample of 7500, one could expect to see 0.145\times7500\approx10.86 scores above 600.

The sum of the squares of two consecutive even integers is 884. find the integers
andriy [413]
2x + 2x +2 are the integers
4x^2 + 4x^2 +8x +4 =884 (The sum of the integers squared)
8 x^2 +8x -880 = 0

x = 10
Therefore, the integers are:
20 and 22

3(x+y)=y, if (x,y) is a solution to the equation above and y cannot equal to zero what is the ratio x/y
irakobra [83]
*Given
3(x+y)=y
y is not equal to zero

*Solution 

1. The given equation is 3(x+y) = y and we are tasked to find the ratio between x and y. Distributing 3 to the terms in the parenthesis, 

                        3(x+y) = y
                      3x + 3y = y

Transposing 3y to the right side OR subtracting 3y from both the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation would give

                              3x = -2y

Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, 

                                x = (-2/3)y

Dividing both sides of the equation by y, 

                              x/y = -2/3

Therefore, the ratio x/y has a value of -2/3 provided that y is not equal to zero.

In a trapezoid the lengths of bases are 11 and 18. The lengths of legs are 3 and 7. The extensions of the legs meet at some poin
FrozenT [24]

Answer: The length of segments between this point and the vertices of greater base are 7\frac{5}{7} and 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABCD is the trapezoid, ( shown in below diagram)

In which AB is the greater base and AB = 18 DC= 11, AD= 3 and BC = 7

Let P is the point where The extended legs meet,

So, according to the question, we have to find out : AP and BP

In Δ APB and Δ DPC,

∠ DPC ≅ ∠APB ( reflexive)

∠ PDC ≅ ∠ PAB    ( By alternative interior angle theorem)

And, ∠ PCD ≅ ∠ PBA  ( By alternative interior angle theorem)

Therefore, By AAA similarity postulate,

\triangle APB\sim \triangle D PC

Let, DP =x

⇒ \frac{3+x}{18} = \frac{x}{11}

⇒  33 +11x = 18x

⇒ x = 33/7= 4\frac{5}{7}

Thus, PD= 4\frac{5}{7}

But, AP= PD + DA

AP= 4\frac{5}{7}+3 =7\frac{5}{7}

Now, let PC =y,

⇒ \frac{7+y}{18} = \frac{y}{11}

⇒ 77 + 11y = 18y

⇒ y = 77/7 = 11

Thus, PC= 11

But, PB= PC + CB

PB= 11+7 = 18
