Call x Andrew's age.

Then, Carol is 3 times older => Carol's age is 3x

And, Brad is 2 year older than Andrew => Brad's ages x + 2

In six years, Carol's age will be 3x + 6, Brad's age will be x + 2 + 6 and Andrew's age will be x + 6

Then, the sum of Andrew's and Brad's ages in six years will be:

(x + 6)+ (x + 2 + 6) = 3x + 6

Now, you can solve the equation:

x + 6 + x + 8 = 3x + 6

=> 3x - x - x = 8

=> x = 8.

So, today Carol's age = 3x = 3(8) = 24.

Answer: 24 years

ratelena [41]

Answer:

We need to remember that we have independent events when a given event is not affected by previous events, and we can verify if two events are independnet with the following equation:

P(A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B)

For this case we have that:

P(A) *P(B) = 0.01*0.02= 0.0002

And we see that 0.0002 \neq P(A \cap B)

So then we can conclude that the two events given are not independent and have a relationship or dependence.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the following events:

A= In a certain computer a memory failure

B= In a certain computer a hard disk failure

We have the probability for the two events given on this case:

P(A) = 0.01 , P(B) = 0.02

We also know the probability that the memory and the hard drive fail simultaneously given by:

P(A \cap B) = 0.0014

And we want to check if the two events are independent.

We need to remember that we have independent events when a given event is not affected by previous events, and we can verify if two events are independnet with the following equation:

P(A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B)

For this case we have that:

P(A) *P(B) = 0.01*0.02= 0.0002

And we see that 0.0002 \neq P(A \cap B)

So then we can conclude that the two events given are not independent and have a relationship or dependence.

a car moves 35 miles per hour travels a distance of 51.3 feet each second. about how far does a car travel in 7.1 seconds ?
Sergio039 [100]
If you would like to know about how far does a car travel in 7.1 seconds, you can calculate this using the following steps:

51.3 feet ... 1 second
x feet = ? ... 7.1 seconds

51.3 * 7.1 = x * 1
x = 51.3 * 7.1
x = 364.23 feet

The correct result would be 364.23 feet in 7.1 seconds.

2x+1&lt;9<br> I need help with this question
tia_tia [17]

Answer: x<4

Step-by-step explanation: Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

2x+1<9

Step 1: Subtract 1 from both sides.

2x+1−1<9−1

2x < 8

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2x /2  <  8 /2

x<4
