Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacks age: x-14

Jack's brothers age: x

In 6 years time:

Jack's age: x-8

Jack's brother's age: x + 6

Given that:

x+6 = 2(x-8)

Simplify:

x+6 = 2x-16

x+22 = 2x

2x = x+22

x = 22

we mentioned earlier that Jack's brother's age was x. but Jack's age was x-14.

So, Jack's age: 22-14 = 8

Hope this helps.

Good Luck

The distance is 14 miles; the first jogger finishes in two hours, while the slower jogger is still 12 miles in. The slower jogger then reaches the end of 14 miles twenty minutes later, because 6mph also means 2 miles per twenty minutes.

At a local restaurant, the amount of time that customers have to wait for their food is normally distributed with a mean of 36 m
Degger [83]

The probability that a randomly selected customer will have to wait between 32 minutes and 37 minutes is 59.81%

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Z score is given by:

z = (raw score - mean) / standard deviation

Given mean of 36 minutes and a standard deviation of 3 minutes.

For x = 32:

z = (32 - 36)/3 = -1.33

For x = 37:

z = (37 - 36)/3 = 0.33

P(-1.33 < z < 0.33) = P(z < 0.33) - P(z < -1.33) = 0.6179 - 0.0198 = 0.5981

The probability that a randomly selected customer will have to wait between 32 minutes and 37 minutes is 59.81%
