Let x equal Thomas' age.  Then Huilan's age is 2x.  Set up an equation to model this situation:

x+2x=78

<em>*Combine like terms*</em>

3x=78

<em>*Divide both sides by 3*</em>

x=26


Hope this helps!!

Since the sum of both Thomas and Huilan’s age is 78—

You would have to divide by 3, because, the problem you are trying to solve is asking you for 1/3 of the ages.

(Huilan = 2/3)
(Thomas = 1/3)

So, you divide 78 by 3 and you get 26.

Thomas = 26

How do you simplify cscx*secx-tanx?
kenny6666 [7]
Csc x · sec x - tan x = 
= 1 / sin x · 1 / cos x - sin x / cos x = 
= 1 / sinx cos x - sin² x / sin x cos x = 
= ( 1 - sin² x ) / (sin x cos x) =
=  cos² x / ( sin x cos x ) = 
= cos x / sin x = cot x

Answer:

The probability that the plane is oveloaded is P=0.9983.

The pilot should take out the baggage and send it in another plain or have less passengers in the plain to not overload.

Step-by-step explanation:

The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 163 lb.

If the plane is full, we have 41 men in the plane. This is our sample size.

The weights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 180.5 lb and a standard deviation of 38.2.

So the mean of the sample is 180.5 lb (equal to the population mean).

The standard deviation is:

\sigma=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{N}} =\frac{38.2}{\sqrt{41}}=\frac{38.2}{6.4} =5.97

Then, we can calculate the z value for x=163 lb.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{163-180.5}{5.97}=\frac{-17.5}{5.97}=   -2.93

The probability that the mean weight of the men in the airplane is below 163 lb is P=0.0017

P(\bar X

Then the probability that the plane is oveloaded is P=0.9983:

P(overloaded)=1-P(X

The pilot should take out the baggage or have less passengers in the plain to not overload.
