Mary is 5 years older than Bob.
Mary is 22 and Bob is 17.

When you subtract 22 - 17, you will get 5. Mary and Bob are 5 years apart.

When you add 22 + 17, you'll get 39, which is the sum of their age.

The equation would be:
m + b = 39
M standing for Mary, B standing for Bob.

22+17= 39 would be the full equation.

M= 22
B= 17.

Sorry if this is confusing and doesn't help you that much, but I really hope it helped! :-)

5x=39 x stands for the age of bob so 39/5 =7.8 which is rounded up to 8 and if you multiply 8 by 5 you get 40 but if you multiply 7.8 by 5 you get 39 so his age would be 7.8 years old.

Gwyneth begins solving for x in the equation 2(x-4)=5(4-2x)+4x. After applying the distributive property and combining like term
Olenka [21]

Answer:

2x-8 = 20-6x

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property tells us to multiply the term outside parentheses by everything inside:

2(x-4) = 5(4-2x)+4x

2(x)+2(-4) = 5(4)+5(-2x)+4x

2x-8 = 20-10x+4x

Combining like terms on the right gives us

2x-8 = 20-6x

Find the solution to the differential equation dx/dy+y/3=0 subject to the initial conditions y(0)=12.
ycow [4]
\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dy}+\dfrac y3=0\iff\mathrm dx=-\dfrac y3\,\mathrm dy
\implies\displaystyle\int\mathrm dx=-\frac13\int\mathrm y\,dy
\implies x=-\dfrac16y^2+C

Given that y(0)=12, we have

0=-\dfrac16(12)^2+C\implies C=24

So the particular solution to the initial value problem is

x=-\dfrac16y^2+24\iff y^2=144-6x

The average lifetime of a set of tires is 3.4 years. The manufacturer will replace any set of tires failing within three years o
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: the probability that the tires will fail within three years of the date of purchase is 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The average lifetime of a set of tires is 3.4 years. It means that μ = 3.4

Decay parameter, m = 1/3.4 = 0.294

The probability density function is

f(x) = me^-mx

Where x is a continuous random variable representing the time interval of interest(the reliability period that we are testing)

Since x = 3 years,

Therefore, the probability that the tires will fail within three years of the date of purchase is

f(3) = 0.294e^-(0.294 × 3)

f(3) = 0.294e^- 0.882

f(3) = 0.12
