The ages of four sisters are consecutive even integers. Two times the age of the youngest sister exceeds the oldest sister's age

by 30 years. The equation 2x − (x + 6) = 30 models the age, x, of the youngest sister. What is the age of the oldest sister?

Answer:

42 years

Step-by-step explanation:

2x − (x + 6) = 30

x − 6 = 30

x = 36

Therefore,

<em>x + 6 = 36 + 6 = 42</em>

Alright, lets get started.

The ages of all four sisters will be = x, x+2, x+4, x+6

As per given in question, two times of youngest sister age exceeds the oldest sister age by 30 means

2x - 30 = (x+6)

Simplifying the equation

2x - (x+6) = 30

2x - x - 6 = 30

x = 36

So this is the age of youngest sister.

So, age of oldest sister will be x + 6 = 36 + 6 = 42

Hene the age of oldest sister is 42 years.   :  Answer

Hope it will help :)

Brut [27]

Answer:

The probability is 0.383.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 democrats and 6 republicans  

Number of ways in which 4 democrats and 2 republicans can be selected=\[{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}\]

Number of ways in which 5 democrats and 1 republican can be selected= \[{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}\]

Number of ways in which 6 democrats can be selected = \[{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}\]

So, favourable outcomes are \[{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}\]

Total possible outcomes =\[{}^{13}{{C}_{6}}\]

Now, probability=\[\frac{Favourable}{Possible}=\frac{{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}}{{}^{13}{{C}_{6}}}=0.383\]

Emily Dickinson's poetry was rescued for posterity by
LiRa [457]
Emily Dickinson's poetry was rescued for posterity by her sister (c). Emily Dickinson lived during the American Civil War, but she lived in her father's house in Amherst, Massachusetts. This area was not affected by the Civil War. She was fairly isolated as a poet and, as a result, the events of the Civil War did not play a major role in her poetry. She wrote mainly about the events in her direct environment, with no direct sense of the time in which she lived. Her world consisted of her own home and the surrounding countryside.
