D and E are points on sides AB and AC respectively of triangle ABC such that DE || BC. If AD = x-1, DB = x – 3, AE = x + 3 and EC = x , the value of x is: ​

9514 1404 393

  9

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles are similar, so corresponding sides are proportional.

  AE/AD = EC/DB

  (x+3)/(x -1) = x/(x -3)

  x^2 -9 = x^2 -x . . . . . . . cross multiply

  x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . add x+9-x^2 to both sides

answer: the answer is 5/22

step-by-step explanation: if you subtract 17 from 22 the answer is 5 therefore the remainder of students are female

answer: expected value of x = 1.0

step-by-step explanation:

p(x=0) = 0.25

p(x=1) = 0.50

p(x=2) = 0.25

expected value for x = 0×0.25 + 1×0.5 + 2×0.25 = 1.0
