Find the two numbers whose sum is 29 and whose difference is 15.

Answer:

a = 22

b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be represented as a and b.

a + b = 29

a - b = 15

Using elimination method

Add both equations

2a = 44

Divide both sides by 2 to get a

2a/2 = 44/2

a = 22

Now substitute a = 22 in any of the equations to get b .

Using the first equation, we have

a + b = 29

22 + b = 29

Subtract 22 from both sides of the equation

22 - 22 + b = 29 - 22

b = 7

Therefore the two numbers are 22 and 7

Stells [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 2 angles are supplementary,

(7x + 5°) + 28x = 180°.

=> 35x + 5° = 180°

=> 35x = 175°

=> x = 5°.

Hence Angle A = 7(5°) + 5° = 40°.

The weight of an organ in adult males has a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 320 grams and a standard deviation of 45 gr
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a) 99.7%

b) 68%

c) 68% of organs weighs between 275 and 365 grams, so 32% of organs weighs will be less than 275 or more than 365 grams.

d) 81.5% of organs weighs between 290 grams and 365 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 99.7% of organs will be between 3 standard deviation from the mean.

320 - 3 \times 45 = 185

320 + 3 \times 45 = 455

So 99.7% of organs will be between 185 and 455.

B) 275 grams and 365 grams are 1 standard deviation from the mean.

From empirical rule about 68% data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean.

So 68% of organs weighs btwn 275 grams and 365 grams.

C) Since 68% of organs weighs between 275 and 365 grams, so 32% of organs weighs will be less than 275 or more than 365 grams.

D) 230 is 2 standard deviation below the mean and 365 is one standard deviation above the mean.

According to the empirical rule, 95% of the observation lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean. Therefore 5% lies outside 2 standard deviations of the mean.

So 95%/2 = 47.5% of organs weighs between the mean and 230 grams.

According to the empirical rule about 68% data falls within one standard deviation from the mean.

so, 68%/2 = 34% of organs weighs between the mean and 365 grams.

So total = 47.5% + 34% = 81.5% of organs weighs between 290 grams and 365 grams.
