Answer:

3 years old is Joshua.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represents the age of Grandpa Collins and x represents the age of grandson Joshua.

As per the given statement: Grandpa Collins is 2 years more than 25 times as his grandson Joshua.

"25 times as his grandson Joshua" means 25x

"2 years more than 25 times as his grandson Joshua" means 25x +2

⇒ y = 25x + 2 ......[1]

Also, it is given : Grandpa Collins is 77 years old

⇒ y = 77 years

Substitute y =77 in [1] to solve for x;

77 = 25x + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides of an equation:

77 -2 =25x+2 -2

Simplify:

75 = 25x

Divide both sides by 25, we get;

$\frac{75}{25} =\frac{25x}{25}$

Simplify:

3 = x

Therefore, the age of Joshua is, 3 years old.

Answer:
x = 4

Explanation:
For the right hand side:
log base 9 of 8 + log base 9 of (x-2) = log base 9 (8*(x-2))
= log base 9 of (8x-16)
For the left hand side:
2*log base 9 of x = log base 9 of x^2

Now, equating the two sides and solving for x:
log base 9 of (8x-16) = log base 9 of x^2
This means that:
x^2 = 8x - 16
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 0
(x-4)^2 = 0
Therefore:
x = 4

Answer:

$= \frac{5}{2} = 2 \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$( \frac{625}{16} {)}^{ \frac{1}{4} } \\ \sqrt[4]{ \frac{625}{16} } = \frac{ \sqrt[4]{625} }{ \sqrt[4]{16} } \\ \frac{ \sqrt[4]{ {5}^{4} } }{ \sqrt[4]{16} } = \frac{ \sqrt[4]{ {5}^{4} } }{ \sqrt[4]{ {2}^{4} } } = \frac{5}{2}$

$\boxed{\green{= \frac{5}{2} = 2 \frac{1}{2}}}$

If you rolled a die, what is the probability that you would roll a 3 or a 9? Give your answer as a simplified fraction.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: P (3 or 9) = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of probability.

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur.

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

The numbers on a dice: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Total numbers = 6

Number of 3 = 1

Number of 9 = 0

P (3 or 9) = Favorable / Total (refer to the attachment below)

P (3 or 9) = (1 + 0) / (6)

P (3 or 9) = 1 / 6

Hope this helps!! :)
