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

The solution to an inequality is graphed on the number line.
Charra [1.4K]

Because the arrow is pointing to the left, the answer to the solution set needs to be less than the the number the dot is on.

A solid dot on a number means that that number is included in the solution set.

In the picture the solid dot is on 4.5, so the solution set needs to be equal to or less than 4.5.

The answer is:

{x | x ≤ 4.5}

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

89.84375

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that on a finance exam, 15 accounting majors had an average grade of 90. On the same exam, 7 marketing majors averaged 85, and 10 finance majors averaged 93.

To find weighted mean.

Here weights can be considered as number of majors in each subject

Marks x     90        85       93\\Weights     15          7         10\\Product     1350    595     930\\

Weighted total = 1350+595+930 = 2875

Weighted mean = weighted total/total students

=\frac{2875}{32} =89.84375

Suppose the size of a population of mustard plants is 6,000. According to genetic drift theory, what is the probability that a n
andre [41]

Answer:

1/12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Size of a population of mustard plants = 6,000

Now,

According to genetic drift theory

The probability that a newly-arisen mutation will become fixed is given using the formula

⇒ 1 ÷ [ 2 × Size of a population of mustard plants ]

⇒ 1 ÷ [ 2 ×6,000 ]

⇒ [ 1 ÷ 12,000 ]

Hence,

probability that a newly-arisen mutation will become fixed in this population is 1/12,000

Identify an equation in slope-intercept form for the line parallel to y=5x+2 that passes through (-6,-1).
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient for the line y=5x+2 = 5  from y=mx+c where m =gradient

parallel lines have equal gradients thus M2=5

equation for line passing through point (-6,-1) and gradient , m=5 will be

(change in y/change in x)=M2

(y--1/x--6)=5

y+1/x+6 =5

y+1=5(x+6)

y+1=5x+30

y=5x+29

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 63 inches. If the length of each side is (4x-3), find the value of x. Equilateral me
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3*(4x - 3) = 63                         Divide both sides by 3

4x - 3 = 63/3

4x - 3 = 21                                Add 3 to both sides

4x = 21 + 3

4x = 24                                    Divide by 4 on both sides

4x/4 = 24/4

x = 6

Note: The perimeter is the sum of all three sides. One side is 4x - 3 All 3 sides must be 3*(4x - 3)
