Let the age of Vera be 'x' years

So the age of Linda is '2x' years

Now Tanya is 4 less than 4 times Linda

So age of Tanya = 4(2x) -4 = 8x -4 years

So total age of Vera , Linda & Tanya

= x + 2x + 8x - 4

= 11x - 4

But it is 2 less than 9 times Vera's age

11x - 4 = 9x + 2

11x - 9x = 4+2

2x = 6

x = 3

So Vera's age = 3 years

Linda's age = 2(3) = 6 years

Tanya's age = 8x - 4 = 8(3) - 4 = 24-4=20 years

Tanya is 20 years old.

A lift in a building starts with 7 passengers and stops at 10 floors.if each passenger is equally likely to get off at any floor
raketka [301]

Answer:

Correct option is

C

10

5

10P

5

Total ways in which one passenger can stop =10

Total ways in which 5 passengers can stop =10∗10∗10∗10∗10

=10

5

We will select 5 floors from 10 floors and assign each individual to each floor to keep everyone isolated from each other

No. of ways in which no two persons stop at the same floor =10C

5

∗5!

=10P

5

⇒P(E)=10P

5

/10

If it says to evaluate an expression, does it mean to answer it?
Fed [463]
Evaluating an expression means either to solve the expressions or to simply it.

Solving an expression:

2 - (10 + 5)

A simply expression. After doing the math the answer comes out as -3.

2x + 3x

This is an algebraic expression. This means we have variables like x and y.
 In this case, we can only simplify it. Because we don't know what x is equal to.

Because they are like terms (which means they have the variable) we can add them to together.

2x + 3x = 5x

I hope this answer clears up any misunderstandings about expressions and over all helped you learn something! If you still need some help, don't hesitate to DM on Brainly! I wish you best of luck on your journey of math!

EDIT:

Now what if you have an expression like this:

5x + 5m where x=4 and m=8

In mathematics, something like 5x is the same difference as 5 * x.
And x is just a placeholder for a number or for another variable.

And in this equation, x is equal to 4. So, we just replace x with 4.

5(4) + 5m

Same this with m. The variable m is equal to 8.

5(4) + 5(8)

We can solve!

5(4) + 5(8) = 20 + 40 = 60

Our answer is 60.
