Answer:

62 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height ( in inches ) of Ivan,

∵ Marcia is 5 inches shorter than Ivan,

height of Marcia = x - 5,

Marcia is  twice as tall as Sally-Jo,

height of sally-jo = \frac{x-5}{2}

Mom is 2 inches taller than Ivan.

⇒ height of mom = x + 2,

Mom is 3 inches shorter than Dad,

height of dad = x + 2 + 3 = x + 5,

So, mean height of family is,

\frac{x+x-5+\frac{x-5}{2}+x+2+x+5}{5}

=\frac{2x+2x-10+x-5+2x+4+2x+10}{10}

=\frac{9x-1}{10}

According to the question,

x + 5 = 74 ( 1 ft = 12 in )

x = 69

Hence, mean height of the family = \frac{9\times 69-1}{10}

=\frac{620}{10}

= 62 inches

How do i isolate y in 4x - 2y = 22
Irina18 [472]

4x - 2y = 22

Start by adding 2y to both sides to cancel out the -2y

4x = 22 + 2y

Now you can divide by 4

x = 22/4 + 2y/4

Reduce all the fractions to get your answer, which is

x = \frac{11}{2} + \frac{y}{2}

Given that P = (-4, 11) and Q = (-5, 8), find the component form and magnitude of vector QP
Svetach [21]
The given points are
P = (-4,11)
Q = (-5,8)

The x-component of vector QP is
-4 - (-5) = 1
The y-component of vector QP is
11 - 8 = 3

The vector QP is 
(1,3) or
\vec{QP} = \hat{i} + 3\hat{j}

The magnitude of the vector is
√(1² + 3²) = √(10)

Answer:
\vec{QP} = \hat{i}+3\hat{j} \,\, or \,\, (1,3)
The magnitude is √(10).

Solve for W!<br> W - 2.76 = 6.7
MariettaO [177]
W - 2.76 = 6.7

isolate the W by adding 2.76 to both sides of the equal sign

W - 2.76 (+2.76) = 6.7 (+2.76)

W = 6.7 + 2.76

W = 9.46

9.46 is your answer

hope this helps
