Lets use O to represent Merideth's age and X to represent Miles's age, 
So what do we know? we know that miles is 3 years younger than twice merideth's age so 2(O)=X+3  and we also know that the sum of their ages is 24 O+X=24 using these equations we can input values until we find the values that work so if miles is 15 and meridith is 9 than 2(9)=15+3.   18=18
9+15=24 these values work for both equations so merideth is 9 and miles is 15

Two Social Security numbers (see Exercise 8.12) match zeros if a digit of one number is zero iff the corresponding digit of the
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Proved

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given parameters, we have:

n = 9 i.e. the length of each security numbers

r = 2 i.e. 2 security numbers

Required

In 513 security numbers, 2 must have matching zeros

To do this, we make use of Pigeonhole principle.

First, we calculate the number of all security numbers not having matching zeros.

Each of the 9 digits can be selected in 2 ways.

2 ways implies that each digit is either 0 or not

So, total selection is:

Total = 2^9

Total = 512

Apply Pigeonhole principle

The principle states that: suppose there are n items in m containers, where n>m, then there is at least one container that contains more than 1 item.

This means that if there are 512 security number without matching zeros, then there is 1 (i.e. 512 + 1) with matching zeros.

512 + 1 = 513

What does 23/2 reduce down to in its simplest form?
Lunna [17]

To simplify this improper fraction we can turn it into a mixed number. The fact that the denominator is 2 and the numerator isn't divisible by 2 shows that it can't simplified any further as a improper fraction.

23/2 = 11 1/2

Best of Luck!
