Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>:
A = (a, 14-a)
P = (3a, a^2 +13a -11)
the slope of AP is 7
a > 0
<u>Find</u>:
a
<u>Solution</u>:
The slope of AP is ...
m = (Py -Ay)/(Px -Ax)
7 = (a^2 +13a -11 -(14 -a))/(3a -a)
14a = a^2 +14a -25
25 = a^2
a = √25 = 5 . . . . . the positive solution
The value of 'a' is 5.
_____
<em>Check</em>
The point A is (a, 14-a) = (5, 9).
The point P is (3a, a^2 +13a -11) = (15, 79)
The slope of AP is (79 -9)/(15 -5) = 70/10 = 7.
Answer:
94.7
Step-by-step explanation:
8 total pens....4 are black
first pick, probability of being black is 4/8
2nd pick. without replacing, probability is 3/7
probability of a black pen picked first and then another black pen picked again is : 4/8 * 3/7 = 12/56 = 0.21
Lets take Gregs weight as “x”. This means that Justins weight is x-15, and x/2 = (x-15)-75.
If we take that last equation, lets combine like terms:
x/2 = x - 15 - 75
x/2 = x - 90
Now multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction
x = 2x - 180
Subtract 2x from both sides
x - 2x = -180
-x = -180
x = 180 — this is Gregs weight
Justins weight is x-15, so 180-15, which is 165 pounds. Hope this helped.
