Write a system of equations to model each situation. Solve using any method:
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

a=50 b=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Call A and B the 2 present ages.

Ten years from now, A is twice as old as B -->

(A + 10) = 2(B + 10) (1)

Five years ago, A was 3 times as old as B -->

(A - 5) = 3(B - 5) (2).

Solve the system (1) and (2).

From (2) --> A = 3B - 15 + 5 = 3B - 10.

Replace this value of A into (1) -->

3B - 10 + 10 = 2B + 20 --> B = 20. Then,

A = 3B - 10 = 60 - 10 = 50.

Check

!0 years from now --> A = 60 and B = 30 --> A = 2B .OK

5 years ago --> A = 45 and B = 15 --> A = 3B. OK

How do you tell if a line is parallel perpendicular or neither?
cluponka [151]
You can tell that a line is parallel if the lines can go on forever without crossing or intersecting. A line is perpendicular when the lines intersect at a right angle. If the slopes are either equal or negative reciprocals, they cannot be parallel or perpendicular.

Hope this helps you!

In the general population, one woman in eight will develop breast
MArishka [77]

Answer:

a) 8/10

b) 0.001 \overline{33}

c) Independent events

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The proportion of women than carries a mutation of the BRCA gene, P(A) = 1/600

The proportion of women in which the mutation develops breast cancer, P(B) = 8/10

a) The probability that a randomly selected woman will develop breast cancer given that she has a mutation of the BRCA gene is given as follows;

1 × P(B) = 1 × 8/10 = 8/10

b) The probability, P that a randomly selected woman woman will carry the mutation of the BRCA gene and will develop breast cancer is given as follows;

P(A) × P(B) = 1/600×8/10 = 1/750 = 0.001 \overline{33}

c) The events are dependent

Given that P(A) × P(B) = P(A∩B), the events of carrying the mutation and developing Breast cancer are independent events.
