Let the Addison's candy count be a and Ronny's be r.

Then a = r - 15. This is an equation.

If you had a second equation, you could replace a with the expression (r - 15), which in itself is not an equation.

Let Ronny's candy be x and Addison's candy be y. Then it would read y=x-15.

This is an equation because this is saying that Ronny's amount of candy minus 15 is equal to amount of candy that Addison has. Once there is a useful equal then it is equation.

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

$\frac{19}{18,750,000}=0.0000010133333333$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in a recent year, 304 of the approximately 300,000,000 people in the United States were struck by lightning.

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Number of possible outcomes}}$

$\text{P( A randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year)}=\frac{304}{300,000,000}$

$\text{P( A randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year)}=\frac{19}{18,750,000}$

$\text{P( A randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year)}=0.0000010133333333$

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year is $\frac{19}{18,750,000}=0.0000010133333333$ .

daniiel is currently 26 years older than his son. in 6 years he will be three times older than his son. how old are both of them

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Daniiel is 33 years old.

The son is 7 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+26=3x

The x represents the son.

To solve for x:

-26=x-3x

-26=-2x

x=13

Since the father will be 3 times his son's age in six years we subtract 6.

x=7

This means the son is 7 years old as of right now. To find the father's age you do 7+26=33
