The answer is 12.
since we also know that jack is 2 times lucy now then the entire formula would be 2x - 6 = 18 to solve we add 6 to both sides 2x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6 the 6s on the left cancel because when you have a positive and negative of the same number it always = 0 we get 2x = 24 then divide both sides by 2 to get the answer 2x / 2 = 24 / 2 the 2s on the left cancel and you get

J=4L, (J+9)+(L+9)=68  using J=4L in the second equation gives you:

4L+9+L+9=68

5L+18=68

5L=50

L=10 and since J=4L

J=40

So Jack is 40 years old and Lacy is 10 years old.

Answer:

3575880

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use Permutation method,

nPr= \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Where n is the sample of size and r the combination considered, so

n=45\\r=4\\45P4= \frac{45!}{(45-4)!}\\45P4 = 3575880

There is 3575880 possibilities to make leadership structures in that committee

Jane is making a suit which requires 2 5⁄8 yards for the jacket and 1 3⁄4 yards for the skirt. What's the total amount of materi
Ann [662]
The answer is B. 4 3⁄8 yards. The amount of material needed for the jacket is: x = 2 5/8 yd = 2 + 5/8 = 16/8 + 5/8 = (16+5)/8 = 21/8 yd. The amount of material needed for the skirt is: y = 1 3/4 yd = 1 + 3/4 = 4/4 + 3/4 = (4+3)/4 = 7/4 yd. The total amount of material Jane needs is: x + y = 21/8 + 7/4 = 21/8 + 14/8 = (21+14)/8 = 35/8 = (32+3)/8 = 32/8 + 3/8 = 4 + 3/8 = 4 3/8 yd.

What is the end point and mid point
son4ous [18]
The endpoints are the points which represent or marks the end of a line segment or an interval. So, the endpoints would be the same points given which are ( 5/3, 1 ) and ( 0, 2). The midpoint, on the other hand, is the point that is located halfway through the line segment or the interval. It divides the segment into two parts with equal lengths. We calculate it by the formula,
midpoint = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2)

We substitute the points given above to the formula as follows:


midpoint = ((5/3 + 0) / 2, (1 + 2) / 2)
midpoint = 5/6 , 3/2

So, the midpoint is located at point 5/6, 3/2.
