Orin solved an equation and justified his steps as shown in the table.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation as

$\frac{3x}{5} -3=12$

apply multiplication property of equality where you multiply every term by 5

$\frac{3x}{5}*5 -3*5=12*5$

3x-15=60------------------apply addition property of equality

3x-15+15=60+15

3x=75--------------------------appy division property of equality by dividing both sides by 3

3x/3=75/3

x=25

A toddler is allowed to dress himself on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. For each of his shirt, pants, and shoes, he is equall

avanturin [10]

Answer:

0.0286 = 2.86% probability that today is Monday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Dressed correctly

Event B: Monday

Probability of being dressed correctly:

100% = 1 out of 4/7(mom dresses).

(0.5)^3 = 0.125 out of 3/7(toddler dresses himself). So

$P(A) = 0.125\frac{3}{7} + \frac{4}{7} = \frac{0.125*3 + 4}{7} = \frac{4.375}{7} = 0.625$

Probability of being dressed correctly and being Monday:

The toddler dresses himself on Monday, so (0.5)^3 = 0.125 probability of him being dressed correctly, 1/7 probability of being Monday, so:

$P(A \cap B) = 0.125\frac{1}{7} = 0.0179$

What is the probability that today is Monday?

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.0179}{0.625} = 0.0286$

0.0286 = 2.86% probability that today is Monday.

iven: C is a point on the perpendicular bisector, l, of AB. Prove: AC = BC Use the drop-down menus to complete the proof. By the

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

See the attached figure for better explanation :

Step-by-step explanation :

1. By the unique line postulate, you can draw only one line segment : BC

Since only one line can be drawn between two distinct points.

2. Using the definition of reflection, reflect BC over l.

To find line segment which reflects BC over l, we will use the definition of reflection.

3. By the definition of reflection, C is the image of itself and A is the image of B.

Definition of reflection says the figure about a line is transformed to form the mirror image. Now, CD is perpendicular bisector of AB so A and B are equidistant from D forming the mirror image of each other.

4. Since reflections preserve length, AC = BC

In Reflection the figure is transformed to form a mirror image, Hence the length will be preserved in case of reflection.
