3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have three people

jamal = x (since im guessing hes the youngest)

wesley= x+1

John= x+2

the formula you would use is x+x+1+x+2=108

when you simplify that you get 3X+3=108

you subtract the 3 from 108 which leaves you with 3X=105

divide that by 3 which makes x=35

jamal is 35

wesley is 36

john is 37

67. The line contains the point (4,0) and is parallel to the line defined by 3x = 2y.

olganol [36]

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

Parallel lines will always have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

1) Determine the slope of the parallel line

Organize 3x = 2y into slope-intercept form. Why? So we can easily identify the slope, m.

$3x = 2y$

Switch the sides

$2y=3x$

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{3}{2} x\\y=\frac{3}{2} x$

Now that this equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily identify that $\frac{3}{2}$ is in the place of m. Therefore, because parallel lines have the same slope, the parallel line we're solving for now will also have the slope $\frac{3}{2}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

Plug in the given point, (4,0)

$0=\frac{3}{2} (4)+b\\0=6+b$

Subtract both sides by 6

$0-6=6+b-6\\-6=b$

Therefore, -6 is the y-intercept of the line. Plug this into $y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$ as b:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

I hope this helps!

A standard deck of cards consists of four suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades), with each suit containing 13 cards (ace,

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a deck of 52 cards, there are 4 kings and 4 queens

Selection of 3 kings out of 4 = 4 C 3 = 4

Selection of 2 queens out of 4 = 6

So, total number of selections = 4 x 6 = 24
