P=pete's age now
c=claire's age now

2 year ago pete was 3times as old as his cousin clarie
p-2=3 times (c-2)

also the ratio is 1:3

2 years before that, pete was 4 times as old as claire
p-4=4 times (c-4)

so solve

p-2=3(c-2)
p-4=4(c-4)
distribute
p-2=3c-6
p-4=4c-16

p-2=3c-6
add 2 to both sides
p=3c-4

p-4=4c-16
add 4 to both sides
p=4c-12

so nowe we have
p=3c-4 and p=4c-12
therefor they are equal
3c-4=p=4c-12
3c-4=4c-12
add 12 to both sides
3c+8=4c
subtract 3c from both sides
8=c

subsitute
p-2=3(c-2)
p-2=3(8-2)
p-2=3(6)
p-2=18
addd 2
p=20

so right now, pete is 20 and claire is 8
so we solve by doing
20+what to 8+what=22 to 11
make fraction
and replace what with x
\frac{20+x}{8+x}= \frac{22}{11}
sipmlify 22/11 into 2/1
multiply both sides by 8+x
20+x=\frac{(2)(8+x)}{1}
20+x=2(8+x)
distribute
20+x=16+2x
subtract 16 from both sides
4+x=2x
subtract x from both sides
4=x
the answer is in 4 years

test
20+4=24
8+4=12
24/12=22/11?
2/1=2/1
true

the answer is in 4 years

Answer:

v= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-19 + v = -8 ( v - 1 )

multiply -8(v - 1)= -8v + 8

-8v + 8v and then add the v with the +8v

Subtract -19 +19 and add the +19 with the +8= 27

27 divided by 9= 3

In a probability experiment, Karen flipped a coin 84 times. The coin landed on heads 36 times. What percentage of the coin flips
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

57.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a coin has only two sides, heads or tails. Therefore if of the 84 times, 36 times he fell in heads, the other times he fell in tails.

84 - 36 = 48 times fell in tails.

Therefore to calculate the percentage that fell in tails, it would be the ratio between the number of times it fell in tails and the total number of experiments:

48/84 = 0.571, and that is 57.1%

Which means that 57.1% of the times the coin was thrown fell into tails.
