Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be 22 since it says that there ages combined is greater than 60, not equal to 60.

21+20+19= 60, so the youngest age the oldest brother could be is 22 since

22+21+20= 63 which is greater than 60, not equal to 60.

Answer:

The age of the oldest brother must be greater than 21 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x, x+1 and x+2 -----> the ages of the brothers

we know that

The sum of their ages must be greater than 60

so

The inequality that represent this situation is

x+(x+1)+(x+2) > 60

Solve for x

Combine like terms

3x+3 > 60

Subtract 3 both sides

3x > 60-3

3x > 57

Divide by 3 both sides

x > 19

so

if  x > 19

x+1 >20\ years\\x+2 > 21\ years

therefore

The age of the oldest brother must be greater than 21 years

Henrietta solved a rational equation. Her work is shown. How could she solve it in a simpler way?
RoseWind [281]

Henrietta solved a rational equation by multiplying both sides by 3x^{2}(x+2) .She did not find the least common multiple of the denominators .If she had find the least common denominator which is 3x(x+2) then the question can have been simplified in more simpler form.

Henrietta can have got rid of denominator and then use the distributive rule .

So the first option

A:She could use the least common multiple of the denominator is right

You conducted a regression analysis between Amount of Wealth in society (x) and the Stock Market Value (y) and the study yielded
Aliun [14]

Answer:

E IS THE CORRECT ANSWER

The R-squared is 0.64 and it means that the dependent value explains 64% of the independent value in the simple regression analysis

Step-by-step explanation:

R-Squared value is a very important indicator in a regression analysis.

What does it measure?

It measures how close to the line of best fit are the data points. How good the fitted line is can be indicated by the value of the r-squared.

The maximum value it can take is 1 and at this value, there is a direct and complete relationship between the independent variable x and the dependent variable y. The value 1 represents an 100% relationship between both parties.

The r-squared has a value of between 0 and 100%. The closer to 100, the better the model while the closer to 100, the more faulty the model is. In fact, a value of 0 indicates no relationship at all between the dependent and the independent variable.

With an R-squared value of 0.64, the regression model works above average to explain that the dependent variable explains 64% of the independent value in the simple regression analysis.

The expression (q16)(q−5)2 is equivalent to qn. What is the value of n? 42 22 -160 13
Lelu [443]

Answer:

  22

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get one of the answer choices, it appears we need to interpret your input as ...

  (q^{16}q^{-5})^2 = (q^{16-5})^2=q^{11\cdot 2}=q^{22}

The value of n is 22.

__

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)
