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

Can some please explain how to do the math
UNO [17]

Answer:

The enrollment drop is 12 students per year. The equation is 60=5d. The complete sentence would be the enrollment drop at the after school program dropped 12 students per year, and the equation is 60=5d

Step-by-step explanation:

So I will start with explaining the equation. 60 is the amount of students that dropped, 5 is the year, and d is the enrollment drop rate per year that you are trying to find. The way to use this equation is to isolate d. To do that you divide both sides of the equation by 5, this leaves you with 12 = d. Therefore your yearly enrollment drop is 12 students.


60 = 5d

60/5 = d

60/5 = 12

12 = d

Hopefully this explained your answer.
