<h2><u>Solution (1)</u> :</h2>
Given, to find A we have to :
- square m
- Add y to m²
- Subtract 7 from m² + y
From the question, the following equation can be formed :
Therefore, the formula for finding A = m² + y - 7
<h2><u>Solution (2)</u> :</h2>
The value of A we can derive from the formula is :
Value of m = 3 (given)
Which means :
Thus, the value of A = 2+y
Therefore, the value of A = <u>2+y</u>
I think that it would be A
Answer:
24 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the age of Blake be x and the age of Heather by y then...
x=7+y
7+x+7+y=55
Notice we are adding additional 7s because the question states "in 7 years"
Simplify the second equation...
7+x+7+y=55
14+x+y=55
Subtract 21 from both sides
x+y=41
Solve using substitution (substitute 7+y for x since x = 7+y)
7+y+y=41
Combine like terms
2y+7=41
Subtract 7 from both sides
2y=34
Divide both sides by 2
y=17
x=7+17=24
Blake is 24 years old now
<span>It doesn't matter that she guessed correctly on the first two questions, guessing the third question correctly is independent of guessing any other question correctly. Therefore, the probability is one out of four, 1/4.</span>
