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

Planet X is 1/2 of a light-year away from Earth. Planet Y is 3/10 of a light-year away from Earth. How much farther away is Plan

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

1/2= 5/10

5/10 - 3/10 = 2/10 or 1/5

so planet X is 1/5 of a light-year closer

1/3 (12 - 24v) = -2(4v -2)

ANEK [815]

Opening brackets gives;
4-8v=-8v+4
Putting like terms together;
4-4=-8v+8v
0=0
There is no solution thus.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

$(a)\ \bar x = 1.19$

$(b)\ \sigma_x = 0.18$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n = 4$

$x: 1.45\ 1.19\ 1.05\ 1.07$

Solving (a): The mean

This is calculated as:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

So, we have:

$\bar x = \frac{1.45 + 1.19 + 1.05 + 1.07}{4}$

$\bar x = \frac{4.76}{4}$

$\bar x = 1.19$

Solving (b): The standard deviation

This is calculated as:

$\sigma_x = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x)^2}{n - 1}}$

So, we have:

$\sigma_x = \sqrt{\frac{(1.45 -1.19)^2 + (1.19 -1.19)^2 + (1.05 -1.19)^2 + (1.07 -1.19)^2}{4 - 1}}$

$\sigma_x = \sqrt{\frac{(0.1016}{3}}$

$\sigma_x = \sqrt{0.033867}$

$\sigma_x = 0.18$
