Answer:

18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Nick age is x years and Harry's age is y years.

Hence, we have the equation

x = 7y  ......(1)

After six years, Nick's age is (x+6) and Harry's age is (y+6)

Hence, we have

x+6=5(y+6)\\x+6=5y+30

Plugging x = 7y, we get

7y+6=5y+30\\2y=24\\y=12

Hence, from equation (1)

x = 7(12)

x =84

In 6 years, Harry will be of 12 + 6 =18 years.

X = Harry's Age

Nick's age is 7x 

In 6 years Harry is 7x+6, and Nick is 5(x+6)

7x+6=5x+30

2x+6=30

2x = 24

x = 12

Harry = 12 years old and in 6 years Harry will be 18.

If f(x) = 6x - 4, what is f(x) when x = 8?
NNADVOKAT [17]
The answer is 44

To find this answer, we replace x with 8 and use PEMDAS (order of operations) to simplify

f(x) = 6*x - 4
f(8) = 6*8 - 4
f(8) = 48 - 4
f(8) = 44

lesantik [10]

9.5 feet,to find that you must find out how many times longer the shadow of the pole is than the pole, and to do that you must divide 95 by 50, in which you get 1.9. And then to find the length of the shadow the man casts you must multiply his height by 1.9.

A bag contains 10 marbles. 5 of them are red marbles, 2 blue marbles, and 3 green marbles. You randomly pick a marble out of the
Akimi4 [234]

The probability of randomly picking out a red marble is 50%, or 1/2.

You can figure this out by finding out the percentage of each marble in the bag, and that percentage would be the probability for picking out that colour of marble. For example, the percentage of red marbles in the bag is 50%, the percentage of blue marbles in the bag is 20%, and the percentage of green marbles in the bag is 30%.

By doing this, you figured out not only the percentage of each colour of marble in the bag, but you also figured out the probability of each marble being randomly picked out of the bag.
