Devaughn is 14 years older than Sydney. The sum of their ages is 110. What is Sydney's age?

Answer:

The answer would be 48

Sydney is <u>48</u>

Devaughn is <u>62</u>

48 + 62 = 110

Okays so you start by doing the equation 110 - 14 = 96

then dividing 96 by 2 (96 ÷ 2) which is 48

add 14 to 48 and you will get 62. We can automatically assume that sydney is 48 because when you add 48 to 62, you will get 110. I hope that this helps! ^‿^

D = s-14
d+s = 76

• substitution;
(s-14)+s = 76
2s-14= 76
2s = 90
s = 45 years old for Sydney
d = s-14 = 31 years old for Devaughn
hope this helps

State whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular,or neither.
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal.
  • Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1

We also know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the lines

1)

  • y = 6х - 3

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 6х - 3:

m₁=6  

  • y = - 1/6x + 7

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = - 1/6x + 7:

m₂=-1/6

As

m₁ × m₂ = -1

6 ×  - 1/6 = -1

-1 = -1

Thus, the lines y = 6х - 3 and y = - 1/6x + 7 are perpendicular.

2)

  • y = 3x + 2

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 3x + 2:

m₁=3  

  • 2y = 6x - 6

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y=3x-3

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=3x-3:

m₂=3

As the slopes of y = 3x + 2 and 2y = 6x - 6 are equal.

i.e. m₁ = m₂ → 3 = 3

Thus, the lines y = 3x + 2 and 2y = 6x - 6 are paralle.

3)

  • 8x - 2y = 3

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y = 4x - 3/2

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 4x - 3/2:

m₁=4  

  • x + 4y = - 1

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y=-1/4x-1/4

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=-1/4x-1/4:

m₂=-1/4

As

m₁ × m₂ = -1

4 ×  - 1/4 = -1

-1 = -1

Thus, the lines 8x - 2y = 3 and x + 4y = - 1 are perpendicular.

4)

  • 3x+2y = 5

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y = -3/2x + 5/2

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = -3/2x + 5/2:

m₁=-3/2  

  • 3y + 2x = - 3

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y = -2/3x - 1

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = -2/3x - 1:

m₂=-2/3

As m₁ and m₂ are neither equal nor their product is -1, hence the lines neither perpendicular nor parallel.

5)

  • y - 5 = 6x

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y=6x+5

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=6x+5:

m₁=6  

  • y - 6x = - 1

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y=6x-1

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=6x-1:

m₂=6

As the slopes of y - 5 = 6x and y - 6x = -1 are equal.

i.e. m₁ = m₂ → 6 = 6

Thus, the lines y - 5 = 6x and y - 6x = -1 are paralle.

6)

  • y = 3х + 9

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 3х + 9:

m₁=3  

  • y = -1/3x - 4

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y =  1/3x - 4:

m₂=1/3

As m₁ and m₂ are neither equal nor their product is -1, hence the lines neither perpendicular nor parallel.

Suppose that the duration of a particular type of criminal trial is known to be normally distributed with a mean of 22 days and
Alika [10]

Answer:

25.5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean number of days (μ) = 22 days

Standard deviation (σ) = 6 days

Z-score for the 72nd percentile (according to tabulated values) = 0.583

The z-score for any number of days, X, is determined by:

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

The value of X that is greater than 72% of the trial times is:

0.583=\frac{X-22}{6}\\ X=25.5\ days

Therefore, 72% of all of these types of trials are completed within 25.5 days.

The fastest growing plant on record is the hesperoyucca whipplei. suppose a plant of this type grows 3.6 m in 14 days. what is i
tatyana61 [14]
To get the speed of growth of plant we proceed as follows;
rate=(distance)/(time taken)
distance( length) of growth of the plant in 14 days is 3.6 m.
1 day=86400 sec
14 days=86400x14=1,209,600 sec

1 m=1000000 micrometer
3.6 m=3600000 micrometer
thus the rate of growth will be:
3600000/1209600
=2.9762 micrometers per second
