Using equations to solve the word problem, Katherine's age is 8 years

<h3>Word Problem</h3>

Word problem are often mathematical problem that are represented in words and sometimes can be solved using an equation.

To solve this problem, we have to represent the problem using mathematical equations;

Let;

Katherine's age = x²

Alexandra = 5(x + 1)

Sum of their age = 109

5(x + 1) + x² = 109

5x + 5 + x² = 109

x² + 5x - 104 = 0

Solving for the equation; x = 8

Katherine's age is 8

maria [59]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to first do 5.89- [(5.89 * 15)/100]=5.89-0.8835=5.0065

then 5.0065 * 2 = 10.013 because it is 15% each dozen then

[(10.013 * 5)/100] =0.50065 then 10.013 - 0.50065 = 9.51235

and lastly (9.51235 * 7)/100 = 0.6658645

finally 9.51235 + 0.6658645= 10.1782145

and then you just need to round it to the nearest hundredths and you will get 10.18

-Dominant- [34]

Answer: p = 0.56

Step-by-step explanation: from the question, probability she passed the first course = 0.7

Probability she passed the second course = 0.8

Probability she passes both courses means probability she passes the first course "and" probability she passes the second course.

Probability she pass both courses = 0.7 * 0.8 = 0.56

Note that "and" in probability means multiplication.
