You would have to write an equation. I would use the equation 4y=200. Thats your answer for (a). Then reverse the equation and solve to figure out the answer to (b). What we do to one side we do to other, right? So we would divide each side by 4. That leaves us with y=50. There's your answer to (b). Now to find Xavier's age we would simply do Yvonne's age minus 7. 50-7=43. There's your answer to (c).
A) 4y=200
B) 50 years old
C) 43 years old
Hope this helps!!!!

If Joanne can paint a room in 3 hours and her sister Angela can paint the same room in 4 hours, how long (in h) would it take Jo
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If J can paint a room in 3 hours, in 1 hour she gets \frac{1}{3} of the job done.

If A can paint a room in 4 hours, in 1 hour she gets \frac{1}{4} of the job done. We need to find out how long it takes them if they paint together. The equation for this is:

\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{x} where x is the number of hours it takes them to get the job done together. Multiply everything through by 12x to get

4x + 3x = 12 so

7x = 12 and

x = 1.7 hours to get the room painted together.

A rectangle has an area of x^2 -6x -7 and a width of x-7 what’s the length
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that x^2 -6x-7 is the product of two binomials.

We can solve this two ways, but the easier way is to simply factor rather than divide the area by width.

Two numbers, one of which being -7 allows for the sum of -6 and the product of -7.

Using this information, we can identify the other number is 1, so the length is x+1.

In a certain town, 22% of voters favor a given ballot measure. For groups of 21 voters, find the variance for the number who fav
raketka [301]

c. 4.6

       

21 X .22= 4.6

       

Calculating the variance requires finding the product of 21 and 22%. To make this easier we convert 22% into it's decimal form and construct the equation. To back check this answer we can use 10% of 21 voters which equals 2.1% then double that amount to reach 4.2%, knowing that we now have a close approximation of the variance we can eliminate answers a, b, and d, leaving c as the only logical choice.
