Answer:

<u>The ages of Paul and Selena are 13 and 7 years old.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of Paul = x

Age of Selena = x -6

Age of Paul and Selena in 15 years:

x + 15 = 4 (x - 6)

x + 15 = 4x - 24

x - 4x = -24 - 15

- 3x = -39

x = 13

<u>Paul now is 13 years old and Selena is 7 years old. In 15 years, Paul will be 28, that is 4 times the present age of Selena.</u>

Their present ages :

Paul = 13

Selena = 7

<h3>Further Explanation </h3>

One variable linear equation is an equation that has a variable and the exponent number is one.

Can be stated in the form:

\large {\boxed {\bold {ax = b}}

or

<h3>ax + b = c, </h3>

where a, b, and c are constants, x is a variable

Whereas the two-variable linear equation is a linear equation that has 2 variables and the exponent is one

Can be stated in the form:

\large {\boxed {\bold {ax + bx = c}}}

x, y = variable

In the statement of the task:

  • Selena is 6 years younger than Paul.

can be stated in the equation:

Selena (S) = Paul (P) -6 ⇒S = P-6 ⇒equation 1

  • In 15 years, Paul will be 4 times the age that Selena is now.

The equation: 15 + P = 4S⇒equation 2

Equation 1 is substituted into equation 2 so that it becomes:

15 + P = 4 (P-6)

So the solution is:

15+P = 4P-24

15+24 = 3P

39 = 3P

P = 13

From equation 1

S = P - 6

S = 13 - 6

S = 7

Four cards are dealt from a standard fifty-two-card poker deck. What is the probability that all four are aces given that at lea
elena-s [515]

Answer:

The probability is 0.0052

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the event that the four cards are aces, B the event that at least three are aces. So, the probability P(A/B) that all four are aces given that at least three are aces is calculated as:

P(A/B) =  P(A∩B)/P(B)

The probability P(B) that at least three are aces is the sum of the following probabilities:

  • The four card are aces: This is one hand from the 270,725 differents sets of four cards, so the probability is 1/270,725
  • There are exactly 3 aces: we need to calculated how many hands have exactly 3 aces, so we are going to calculate de number of combinations or ways in which we can select k elements from a group of n elements. This can be calculated as:

nCk=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

So, the number of ways to select exactly 3 aces is:

4C3*48C1=\frac{4!}{3!(4-3)!}*\frac{48!}{1!(48-1)!}=192

Because we are going to select 3 aces from the 4 in the poker deck and we are going to select 1 card from the 48 that aren't aces. So the probability in this case is 192/270,725

Then, the probability P(B) that at least three are aces is:

P(B)=\frac{1}{270,725} +\frac{192}{270,725} =\frac{193}{270,725}

On the other hand the probability P(A∩B) that the four cards are aces and at least three are aces is equal to the probability that the four card are aces, so:

P(A∩B) = 1/270,725

Finally, the probability P(A/B) that all four are aces given that at least three are aces is:

P=\frac{1/270,725}{193/270,725} =\frac{1}{193}=0.0052

Explain how to use the distributive property to find the product 3 x 4 1/5
NikAS [45]

Answer:

12.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 12.6 and here is the explanation of using the Distributive Property. Because we are multiplying a whole number by a mixed number, we have to multiply the whole number by the whole number in the mixed number and then multiply the whole number by the fraction. In this case, we have 3 x 4 1/5. We multiply 3x4=12 first, and then we multiply 3x1/5 to get 0.6. 12+0.6=12.6. Hope it helps!
