what is the value of x? enter your answer, as a decimal, in the box.

39.88623234=x

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve.  Put the same side of the small triangle over the large triangle.

MA         MB

=

MN         MP

71.5 -22         x

=

71.5               97.5 -x

Simplifying

49.5             x

=

71.5               97.5 -x

Using cross products

49.5 (97.5 -x) = 71.5x

Distribute

4826.25-49.5x = 71.5x

Add 49.5x to each side

4826.25-49.5x+49.5x = 71.5x+49.5x

4826.25 =121x

Divide each side by 121

4826.25/121 =121x/121

39.88623234=x

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.

the number of possible outcomes that do not show a 1 on the first spinner and show the number 4 on the second spinner is 2.

spinner 1 spinner 2

1                     1

1                     2

1                     4

2                   1

2                   2

2                   3

2                   4   = not 1, and 4

3                   1

3                   2

3                   3

3                   4 = not 1, and 4

only 2 outcomes have passed the given condition.
