Answer:

In 7 Years

Step-by-step explanation:

Ellen's age = x

Joan's age = x + 5

3 Years ago

(x-3)+(x+5-3)=17

2x+5-6=17

2x=18

x=9

Hence Joan's age is 9+ 5 = 14

21 - 14 = 7

In 7 years Joan will be 21 years old

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 We have then:
 x: number of years of Joan y: number of years of ellen We now write the system of equations:
 y = x + 5

 (x-3) + (y-3) = 17
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 9

 y = 14
 So that Joan is 21 years old then:
 j + 9 = 21

 j = 21 - 9

 j = 12
 Answer:
 joan will be 21 years old in 12 years

A supermarket reduced the price per pound whole chicken by 20%. How many pounds of chicken can now be purchased for the amount o
nignag [31]

Answer:

25 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that initially, 1 pound of whole chicken costs x.

So, initially 20 pounds of whole chicken costs 20x.

Now, the price is reduced by 20%.

That means that 1 pound of whole chicken now costs  x[1-\frac{20}{100} ]=0.8x

Therefore, with a 0.8x amount of money, we can now purchase 1 pound of the whole chicken.  

Hence, with a 20x amount of money, we can now purchase \frac{20x}{0.8x}=25 pounds of the whole chicken.

Solve for w p=1.2w/h^2
andreyandreev [35.5K]
Solve for w:
p = (1.2 w)/h^2
(1.2 w)/h^2 = (6 w)/(5 h^2):
p = (6 w)/(5 h^2)
p = (6 w)/(5 h^2) is equivalent to (6 w)/(5 h^2) = p:
(6 w)/(5 h^2) = p
Multiply both sides by (5 h^2)/6:
Answer:  w = (5 h^2 p)/6

Drupady [299]
Find the critical value or test statistic.
z = \frac{m - \mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}} = \frac{404.5 - 400}{24/\sqrt{144}} = \frac{4.5}{2} = 2.25

Find P(z > 2.25) using a normal distribution table

P(z > 2.25) = 0.0122

tatiyna

7 - 4(2w + 1) = 9w - 49 + w \\ 7 - 8w - 4 = 10w - 49 \\ 10w + 8w = 7 - 4 + 49 \\ 18w = 52 \\ w =  \frac{52}{18}  \\ w= 2.88

The systolic blood pressure of 18-year-old women is a roughly bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 120 mmHg and a standard de
saw5 [17]

Answer:

C. approximately 99.99%

Step-by-step explanation:

The distribution bell shape is a normal distribution, with mean 120 mmHg and standard deviation 12 mmHg.

The rank between 96 mmHg and 144 mmHg is wider than the rank between mean plus, minus 3 standard deviation (102 mmHg up to 138 mmHg), and this rank is approximately 99.7 %.Therefore  99.99 % includes more closely values in the rank 96 up to 144 mmHg
