Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the ages of a Mother and her son is 78 , three years ago the mother is five times as old as the son, what is their present ages?
To solve this , let the age of the mother be x and the age of the son be y , from the first statement :
x + y = 78
Three years ago , the mother will be x- 3 and the son will be y - 3 , from the second statement:
x - 3 = 5 ( y-3)
x- 3 = 5y - 15
x - 5y = -12
The resulting equations are
x + y = 78
x - 5y = -12
This is called a simultaneous linear equation , that means it is a linear equation.
The side of a square is xcm , if the difference between the area and the perimeter is 12 , find the legth of its side.
Interpretation:
The formula for the area of a square is 
and the perimeter is 4l , from the question , we have
- 4x = 12
This is not a linear equation , it is simply a quadratic equation , so the situation is non linear

Answer: $4.46</h3>
===================================================
Work Shown:
3 containers = 6.69 dollars
3/3 containers = 6.69/3 dollars .... divide both sides by 3
1 container = 2.23 dollars
2*(1 container) = 2*(2.23 dollars) ... multiply both sides by 2
2 containers = 4.46 dollars
A shortcut is to start with "3 containers = 6.69 dollars" and multiply both sides by 2/3
Each mention of "container" refers to a half-gallon container.
Answer:
No, not really.
dividing 25 into 4 equal groups, equals 6.25.
So no, you can not divide 25 into 4 equal group.
If if was 25 into 5 equal groups, then yes.
Hope this helps!!!

Hope this helps!!! Good luck!!! ;)
We have given the table of number of male and female contestants who did and did not win prize
The probability that a randomly selected contestant won prize given that contestant was female is
P(contestant won prize / Contestant was female)
Here we will use conditional probability formula
P(A/B) = 
Let Event A = selected contestant won prize and
event B = selected contestant is famale
Then numerator entity will
P(A and B) = P(Contestant won prize and Contestant is female)
= Number of female contestant who won prize / Total number of contestant
= 3 /(4+9+3+10)
= 3 / 26
P(A and B) = 0.1153
P(B) = P(contestant is female )
= Number of female contestant / Total number of contestants
= (3+10) / 26
P(B) = 0.5
Now P(A / B) =
= 0.1153 / 0.5
P(A / B) = 0.2306
The probability that randomly selected contestant won prize given that contestant is female is 0.2306
Converting probability into percentage 23.06%
The percentage that randomly selected contestant won prize given that contestant is female is 23%
