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.

A dictionary contains the following 9 words: two, mice, three, squeaking, the, blind, deaf, birds, rabbits. What is the probabil
IgorC [24]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. 1/729</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Probability of any of the nine words would be randomly cited.

Using the Laplace Rule, we calculate that probability is 1/9

2. Now let's calculate the probability of any two - word phrase in specific order from those nine in the dictionary. We should remember that the probability of occurrence of two or more statistically independent events is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. So,

1/9 * 1/9 = 1/81

3. Using the same Multiplication Rule, we can calculate the probability of a random generation of the phrase "three blind mice", in that specific order. Because there are other phrases that could be generated with those three words, but in different order.  The question was specific about the order.

1/9 * 1/9 * 1/9 = 1/729

<u>The probability of randomly generating the phrase "three blind mice" is 1/729 or 0.137%</u>

Convert -3pi/10 to degrees
ipn [44]

we know there are 180° in π radians, how many degrees then in -3π/10 radians?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} degrees&radians\\ \cline{1-2} 180&\pi \\\\ x&-\frac{3\pi }{10} \end{array}\implies \cfrac{180}{x}=\cfrac{\pi }{~~-\frac{3\pi }{10}~~}\implies \cfrac{180}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{\pi}{1} }{~~-\frac{3\pi }{10}~~} \\\\\\ \cfrac{180}{x}=\cfrac{\pi }{1}\cdot \cfrac{10}{-3\pi }\implies \cfrac{180}{x}=-\cfrac{10}{3}\implies 540=-10x\implies \cfrac{540}{-10}=x \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill -54=x~\hfill

Sophie invested 5,000 into an account that will increase in value by 2.3% each year. Write a function to model this situation, t
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$6725

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Princiapal= $5000

Rate=2.3%

Time= 15years

The function that will model this situation is given as

A=P(1+rt)

The above function is a simple interest function

Substitute our data we can find the amount A

A=5000(1+0.023*15)

A= 5000(1+0.345)

A=5000(1.345)

A=5000*1.345

A=$6725

Hence the value of the investment after 15 years is $6725
