The answer is:  "39 points" .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________________________
" x/ 50 = 78/100 " ;   in which "x" equals the number of points needed.

_______________________________________________________

To solve for "x" ; 
_______________________________________________________

Look at the denominators:  50 * (what value?) = 100.

→ "100 ÷ 50 = 2" .

→ So;  "50 * 2 = 100" ; 

So, let us look at the numerators:

x * 2 = 78 ; 

↔  2x = 72 ; 

Divide each side of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_____________________________________________
 →  78 ÷ 2 = 39 ;

The answer is:  "39 points" .

Mr. Anders was three times as old as Kate 5 years ago. Their total age now is 42 years. How old is Kate now?
katrin [286]
We can write this as two equations. Call Mr. Anders' age A and Kate's age K:
A-5=3(K-5)
A+K=42

Then solve for A in the second equation:
A=42-K

Substitute this into the first equation:
(42-K)-5=3(K-5)
-K+37=3K-15
52=4K
K=13

Need some help on this. any help is appreciated :) !!
kirza4 [7]

If we think about a normal curve / bell curve and the 68-95-99.7 rule, we know that the majority of data will lie within 1, 2, or 3 standard deviations from the mean. The mean is in the center of the curve, and to each side of the mean, 34% of the data lies 1 standard deviation on either side of the mean. Therefore, we need to add and subtract one standard deviation from the mean.

85 + 12 = 97

85 - 12 = 73

Correct Answer: B. 73 - 97

Hope this helps!! :)

A car travels down a highway at 25 m/s. An observer stands 150 m from the highway.
makvit [3.9K]
Let x be the distance (in feet) along the road that the car has traveled and h be the distance (in feet) between the car and the observer.

(a) Before the car passes the observer, we have dh/dt < 0; after it passes, we have dh/dt > 0. So at the instant it passes the observer we have dh/dt = 0, given that dh/dt varies continuously since the car travels at a constant velocity.
