Amy = x
Betty = y
Carl = z
x + y = 29
x + z = 27
y + z = 22
y = 29 - x
z = 27 - x
29 - x + 27 - x = 22
-2x + 56 = 22
-2x = - 34
x = 17
y = 12
z = 10
Oldest child is Amy (17) and youngest child is Carl (10)
17 - 10 = 7
The difference between oldest child and youngest child is 7 years.

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the graphed line?

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the graphed line, you take two points. I have chosen (0, 4) and (8, 0)

The formula of a slope is (y value of second point $-y$ value of first point) divided by (x value of second point $-x$ value of first point):

$\frac{0-4}{8-0} =-\frac{1}{2}$

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The slope for a perpendicular line is 2.

For every 144 light bulbs produced, 6 are defective. Find the number of defective light bulbs that could be expected out of 720.

Lelu [443]

You are going to get the rate of the detects.
6 detects ÷ 114 light bulbs = 1/19 detects per light bulb

If there are 720 light bulbs, then the number of detects will be
720 light bulbs * 1/19 detects per light bulb = 37. 89 ≈ 38 detects
