Answer:

The man is 27 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can create a system of equations.
Let x = the age of the man
Let y = the age of his son
You can create the following equations based on what was given in the problem:
1. x = y + 18
2. (x - 3) = 4(y - 3)
You can simplify the second equation:
x - 3 = 4y - 12
x = 4y - 9
Then, solve the system of equations:
x = y + 18
-
x = 4y - 9
____________
0 = -3x + 27
The son's age is 9, therefore the father is 27 years old.

Solve the system of equations by ELIMINATION.
Dafna1 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 2y = 10 --------(1)

2x + 3y = 33 -----------(2)

Multiply 2 with eq. (1) and 4 with eq. (2)

8x + 4y = 20 ____________(3)

8x + 12y = 132 ______(4)

Subtracting (3) from (4),

8x + 4y = 20

- 8x -12y = -132

----------------------

0 -8y = -112

y = 112/8

y = 4 is the answer.

Putting the vakue of y in eq. (2),

2x + 12 = 33

2x = 33-12

2x = 21

x = 21/2 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

P(red | car) = P(red and car) / P(car)

P(red | car) = 0.32 / 0.85

P(red | car) = 0.376

When randomly selecting​ adults, let M denote the event of randomly selecting a male and let B denote the event of randomly sele
siniylev [52]

Answer:

(D) P (M|B) ​ represents the probability of getting a male, given that someone with blue eyes has been selected.

(B) No, because P(BIM) represents the probability of getting someone with blue eyes, given that a male has been selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, M denotes the event of randomly selecting a male and B denotes the event of randomly selecting someone with blue eyes.

So, P (M|B) ​ represents the probability of getting a male, given that someone with blue eyes has been selected.

While P(B|M)​ represents the probability of getting someone with blue eyes, given that a male has been selected, so, P(M|B) and P(B|M) are not the same.
