Jane: x
Harvey: 3x
48= x+3x
so 48=4x
x=12
Jane is 12 and Harvey is 36

Let janes age be x
let Harvey's age be 3x (as three times old as jane)
x+3x=48
4x=48
x=48/4
there fore x= 12
janes age= 12
Harvey's age = 3x
=3*12
=36

Okay, I tried this a bunch of times but never found out. Simplify the expression: 4(b-6)+19

sertanlavr [38]

4(b-6)+19

Easily you would better start with distributing 4 to the brackets

4(b -6) = 4*b - 4*6 = 4b - 24

then add 19 to these terms, we get:

4b - 24 + 19

combine like terms (which are -24 + 19), we get:

4b - 5

That's it....

Hope that helps

A tax assessor wants to assess the mean property tax bill for all homeowners in a certain state. From a survey ten years ago, a

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table, the mean (μ) = 1390.75 and the standard deviation (σ) = 518.75

The confidence level (C) = 90% = 0.9

α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

α/2 = 0.1 / 2 = 0.05

The z score of α/2 (0.05) is the same as the z score of 0.45 (0.5 - 0.05) which is equal to 1.645.

The margin of error (E) is given as:

$E=Z_\frac{\alpha}{2}*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\\\E=1.645*\frac{518.75}{\sqrt{14} } =228.07$

The confidence interval = μ ± E = 1390.75 ± 228.07 = (1162.68, 1618.82)

The confidence interval is between 1162.68 and 1618.82.
