Answer:

18 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of days.

We have been given that Brandy's watch falls 1 second every day. So Brandy's watch will fall 1x seconds behind in x days.

We are also told that Brandy set her watch 4 seconds behind, so Brady's watch will be behind by total x+4 seconds in x days.

Since Brady's watch is 22 seconds behind, so we will equate x+4 by 22 to solve for x as:

x+4=22

x+4-4=22-4

x=18

Therefore, Brandy set her watch 18 days ago.

Answer:

Its been 19 days since brandy last set her watch as the watch is 22 seconds behind.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Brandy set her watch 4 seconds behind and it falls behind another 1 second every day.

Thus, this forms an arithmetic progression.

4, 5, 6, 7, ...

First term, a = 4

Common difference, d = 1

The n^{th} terms is 22. We have to find the value of n.

The  n^{th} terms of A.P is given by

a_n = a + (n-1)d

Putting values, we get,

22 = 4 + (n-1)1\\18 = n-1\\n = 19

Thus, its been 19 days since brandy last set her watch as the watch is 22 seconds behind.

Brian’s school locker has a three-digit combination lock that can be set using the numbers 5 to 9 (including 5 and 9), without r
andreev551 [17]
The possible digits are: 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Let's mark the case when the locker code begins with a prime number as A and the case when <span>the locker code is an odd number as B. We have 5 different digits in total, 2 of which are prime (5 and 7).

First propability:
</span>P_A=\frac{2}{5}=40\%
<span>
By knowing that digits don't repeat we can say that code is an odd number in case it ends with 5, 7 or 9 (three of five digits).

Second probability:
</span>P_B=\frac{3}{5}=60\%

the maximum distance D in kilometers that you can see from a height H in meters is given by the formula d equals 3.5 times the s
Irina-Kira [14]
First put the words in an algebraic format or a model. D = 3.5(√H). Now determine what the question is asking. It's height. Plug in the value of D. Distance is 35 km.
35 = 3.5(√H) We want to get H by itself. First thing to get away from it is 3.5. So                      divide 35 by 3.5 And 3.5(√h) by 3.5.
10 = √H        To get rid of √ do the opposite raise to the power of 2
10² = (√H)²   
100 = H 
You must be 100 kilometers above ground to see 35 kilometers
