Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.

"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18

How old is Jim?

Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.

    3a - a = 18
    2a = 18
    a = 9

Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.

    3a
    3(9)
    27

Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.

In one region, the september energy consumption levels for single-family homes are found to be normally distributed with a mean
tatyana61 [14]
The probability would be 0.1971.

We will calculate a z-score for each end of this interval.

z = (X-μ)/σ

For the lower limit:
z = (1100-1050)/218 = 50/218 = 0.23

For the upper limit:
z = (1225-1050)/218 = 175/218 = 0.80

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that the area under the curve to the left of, less than, the lower limit is 0.5910.  The area under the curve to the left of, less than, the upper limit is 0.7881.  To find the area between them, we subtract:

0.7881 - 0.5910 = 0.1971

mr Goodwill [35]

Total people in the cafeteria = 7 + 48 + 45 = 100

There are 45 boys.

The probability would be the number of boys over the total number of people:

45/100, which simplifies to 9/20

25 — 3x = 40<br> x =<br><br> Please answer quick thanks
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x+25=40. You want to isolate x so you have to subtract 25 from both sides. -3x=15. We then want x to be isolated so we have to divide both sides by -3 to make x by itself. x=-5. Therefore, x=-5.
