The percentage of births that occurred among women between the ages of 40 and 42 is 26.41%

<h3>Calculations and Parameters</h3>

First, we would add up the ages of the mothers

27 +98+239+326+389+436+468+490+460+387+286+180+102+48+19+5+1

= 3961

Thus, to find the percentage of births occurring among women between the ages of 40 and 42 was:

102+48=150

3961/150= 26.41%

When solving a system by multiplying and then adding or subtracting, how do you decide whether to add or subtract?

Monica [59]

i don’t know if your school does PEMDAS but it stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and then subtraction. so you would multiply, then add, and then subtract.

A positive real number is 2 less than another. When 4 times the larger is added to the square of the smaller, the result is 49.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The numbers are

$-2+3\sqrt{5}$ and $3\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the smaller positive real number

y -----> the larger positive real number

we know that

A positive real number is 2 less than another

$x=y-2$

$y=x+2$ ----> equation A

When 4 times the larger is added to the square of the smaller, the result is 49

$4y+x^2=49$ ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

$4(x+2)+x^2=49$

solve for x

$x^2+4x-41=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$x^2+4x-41=0$

$a=1\\b=4\\c=-41$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^{2}-4(1)(-41)}} {2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{180}} {2}$

$x=\frac{-4\pm6\sqrt{5}} {2}$

$x=-2\pm3\sqrt{5}$

The positive real number is

$x=-2+3\sqrt{5}$

Find the value of y

$y=x+2$

$y=-2+3\sqrt{5}+2$

$y=3\sqrt{5}$
