How to do literal equations?

1 answer:

5 0

See examples before for the method to solving literal equations for a given variable: Solve A = bh for b. Since h is multiplied times b, you must divide both sides by h in order to isolate b. Since (c+d) is divided by 2, you must first multiply both sides of the equation by 2.

Lisa is 10 cm taller than her friend ian. Ian is 14 cm taller than jim. Every month, their heights increase by 2 cm. In 7 months

koban [17]

Answer: Ian's height = x+14 = 69+14 = 83 cm

Explanation :

Let the height of Jim be x

Let the height of Ian be x+4

Let the height of Lisa be x+4+10=x+14

Since their heights increase by 2cm every months

so after 7 months ,

Jim's height = x+14

Ian's height= x+4+14=x+18

Lisa's height= x+14+14=x+28

According to question,

Sum of Ian's and Jim's height = 170cm

$x+18+x+14 = 170\\2x+32 =170\\2x =170-32\\2x = 138$

⇒x = $\frac{138}{2}$

⇒ x= 69cm

∴ Ian's height = x+14 = 69+14 = 83 cm

At the scene of a crime, the police have found a blood stain, a footprint, and some threads from a fabric. All are presumed to h

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

There is a 0.175% chance of finding such a person who has all three characteristics.

Out of 4,000 people, 7 people would likely to match all three characteristics.

Step-by-step explanation:

A crime has been committed and after analyzing the evidence, police has found out that:

The criminal's blood type is a type found in only 10% of the population.
The criminal's footprint is a size 13 men's shoe and only 7% of the population wears such shoe size.
Only 25% of the population owns clothing made from a fabric that matches the thread samples found at the scene.

We required to find out the probability of selecting a random person who would match all of these characteristics.

Since it is given that the three characteristics are independent of each other then the required probability is

P(all 3 characteristics) = P(1st characteristic)*P(2nd characteristic)*P(3rd characteristic)

P(all 3 characteristics) = (10/100)*(7/100)*(25/100)

P(all 3 characteristics) = 1750/1,000,000

P(all 3 characteristics) = 7/4000

P(all 3 characteristics) = 0.00175

P(all 3 characteristics) = 0.175%

So out of 4,000 people, 7 people would likely to match all three characteristics.

There is a 0.175% chance of finding such a person who has all three characteristics
