Celeste is 30 and Beth is 25

let x be Celeste's age now then Beth is x - 5

next year they will be 1 year older

Celeste's age will be x + 1 and Beth will be x - 5 + 1 = x - 4

the sum of their ages is therefore

x + 1 + x - 4 = 57

2x - 3 = 57 ( add 3 to both sides )

2x = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 30

Celeste is 30 and Beth is 30 - 5 = 25

The length of one leg of a right triangle is 3 feet more than the other leg. If the hypotenuse is 15 feet find the length of eac
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Leg1 = 9 and leg2 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points to remember</u>

<u>Pythagorean theorem</u>

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²

<u>To find the length of each leg</u>

It is given that, hypotenuse = 15 feet

Let base = x the height = x +3

By using Pythagorean theorem we can write,

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²

15²  = x² + (x + 3)²

225 = x²  + x²  + 6x + 9

2x²  + 6x + 216 = 0

x²  + 3x + 108 = 0

By solving we get x = 9 and x -12

Therefore one leg = 9 and other leg = 9 + 3 = 12

My REAL FINAL LAST 100 points, pls do me well this time... show work pls :(

Im not sure how to explain how to do a graph, but I hope this helps at least a bit!

~Direct Variation When two variables are related in such a way that the ratio of their values always remains the same, the two variables are said to be in direct variation. In simpler terms, that means if A is always twice as much as B, then they directly vary. If a gallon of milk costs $3, and I buy 1 gallon, the total cost is $3.~

Can someone help me please
Anastaziya [24]

The first step to solve this problem is to compute first for the area of the bigger rectangle:

A = LW

A = 12m (10m)

A = 120 m^2

Next step is to find the area of the smaller rectangle:

A = LW

A = 7m (2m)

A = 14 m^2

The last step is to deduct the area of the smaller rectangle to the area of the larger rectangle:

Area of larger rectangle – Area of the smaller rectangle = Area of the shaded region

120 m^2 – 14 m^2 = 106 m^2

Therefore, the area of the shaded region is 106 square meters.

Learning the basics 6.23 suppose you select one value from a uniform distribution with a=0and b=10.what is the probability that
IgorC [24]
The area under the graph of the continuous uniform distribution is 1.
a. The probability that the value will be between 5 and 7 is the area between 5 and 7.
P(5 \ \textless \  x \ \textless \  7) = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}
b. The probability that the value will be between 2 and 3 is the are between 2 and 3.
P(2 \ \textless \  x \ \textless \  3)=\frac{1}{10} 
c. The mean is given by:
\mu=\frac{a+b}{2}=\frac{0+10}{2}=5
d. The variance is given by:
\sigma^2}=\frac{1}{12}(b-a)^{2}=\frac{1}{12}(10)^{2}=8.3333
The standard deviation is:
\sqrt{\sigma} = \sqrt{8.3333} =2.887
