The two number are 39 and 13

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the two numbers be "a" and "b"

Let the larger number be "a" and the smaller number be "b"

<em><u>Given that, sum of two numbers is 52</u></em>

a + b = 52 ---------- eqn 1

<em><u>One number is 3 times as large as the other number</u></em>

Larger number = 3 times smaller number

a = 3b -------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1and eqn 2</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>

3b + b = 52

4b = 52

b = 13

<em><u>Substitute b = 13 in eqn 2</u></em>

a = 3(13)

a = 39

Thus the two number are 39 and 13

In a certain year, the population of Smallburg was $4{,}000.$ In the following year, the population increased by $15\%.$ What wa
makkiz [27]

Answer:

4,600

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to multiply add 15% of 4,000 back to 4,000.

First, change 15% into a decimal:

15% -> \frac{15}{100} -> 0.15

Next, multiply 4,000 by 0.15:

x= 4,000(0.15)

x=600

The last step is to add the 600 back to 4,000:

4,000 + 600 = 4,600

The population of Smallburg the following year was 4,600.

Solve for x. Show your work.
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles is a right angle, which is 90 degrees

5x+ x+54 = 90

Combine like terms

6x+54 = 90

Subtract 54 from each side

6x+54-54 = 90-54

6x = 36

Divide each side by 6

6x/6 = 36/6

x= 6

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

last choice

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are looking at positive integers and we take out the odd ones, the only one's that are left are the even ones.

Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between 141.8 lb and 218 lb. If​ women's weights are
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

P(141.8

And we can find this probability with this difference and using the normal standard table:

P(-0.639

Then the answer would be approximately 55.3% of women between the specifications. And that represent more than the half of women

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(173.6,49.8)  

Where \mu=173.6 and \sigma=49.8

We are interested on this probability

P(141.8

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

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

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(141.8

And we can find this probability with this difference and using the normal standard table:

P(-0.639

Then the answer would be approximately 55.3% of women between the specifications. And that represent more than the half of women
