So find the difference between 1995 and 2022 to make it easier
2022-1995=27

so the rephrased question is
when hazel was x years old, she was 25 years older than son gary who was y old at that time (equation is x is 25 more than y or x=25+y)
in 27 years, (this means x+27 and y+27) hazel's age will be 150% of gary's age (x+27= 150% of y+27)
percent means parts out of 100  so 150%=150/100=15/10=1.5
'of' in math means multiply so
the equations are
x=25+y
x+27=1.5(y+27)
subsitute 25+y for x in second euation
25+y+27=1.5(y+27)
add like terms
y+52=1.5(y+27)
I personally dislike decimals to multiply both sides by 2 to make 2 0.5's or 1 (you are technically supposed to distribute or divide both sides by 1.5) so
2y+104=3(y+27)
distribute
2y+104=3y+81
subtract 2y from both sides
104=y+81
subtract 81 from both sides
23=y
subsitute
x=25+y
x=25+23
x=48


Hazel was 48 and Gary was 23 in the year of 1995

Need help fast, being timed!!
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Mr. Roland’s class was more successful because his class’s lower quartile was the same as Mrs. Cai’s class’s upper quartile.

Step-by-step explanation:

From given scatter plot, we see that upper quartile of Mrs. Cai's class = 4

lower quartile of Mr. Roland’s class = 4

Both are equal so that means.

That means Mr. Roland’s class was more successful because his class’s lower quartile was the same as Mrs. Cai’s class’s upper quartile.


Hence last choice is correct.
