your cousin is 26 years older than your sister. The product of their ages is 560. How old is your sister?

2 answers:

8 0

It has already been answered, but here is how to solve. C is the variable for cousin's age and S is for sister.

S+26=C
C•S=560

Substitute C in the first equation into the second one.

(S+26)•S=560

S^2+26S=560

S^2+26S-560=0

(S+40)(S-14)

S=14 or -40

Eliminate
-40 The answer is 14. Your sister is 14.

A bowl contains 4 red marbles and 3 yellow marbles. Tim randomly draws 3 red marbles from the bowl. He replaces each marble afte

mr Goodwill [35]

So,

The probability of drawing a yellow marble is $\frac{3}{7}$ .
Since he replaces the marble after it is drawn out, the probability of drawing another yellow is the same: $\frac{3}{7}$ .

The probability of drawing a red marble is $\frac{4}{7}$ .

In order to get the probability of drawing 2 yellow marbles and 1 red marble, given that each marble is replaced after it is drawn out, we must multiply the fractions together.

$( \frac{3}{7} )( \frac{3}{7} )( \frac{4}{7} ) = \frac{36}{343}$

Because the order of the marbles doesn't matter, we will multiply the probability by 3.
$3( \frac{36}{343} ) = \frac{108}{343}$
