The following shows a com maze for participants to walk through. The participants can only go forward and when there is a fork in the path you
may assume that people are equally likely to take any one of the paths. It
costs $5 to enter the maze and each participant gets $10 if they come out
in a prize area. Using a tree diagram or an area model determine the
probability that a participant wins money?

0.25
0.31
0.43
0.50

c) yes, because of asa or aas

c. side angle side. u shares the same sides

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
