Answer:

x = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create two equations 1. one that calculates calories burned and 2.another that calculates minutes:

20*x + 5*y = 1200

x + y = 120

Then we can solve for x

x = 120 - y

then we can plug that into the top equation:

20(120 - y) + 5y = 1200

divide by 5:

4(120 - y) + y = 240

distribute:

480 - 4y + y = 240

and then do all that combining like factors what not and simplify and solve:

480 - 3y = 240

-3y = -240

y = 8

NOW WE CAN JUST PLUG IN THE ANSWER FOR Y TO FIND X

8+x =120

x = 112

Answer:

m<F = 53

Step-by-step explanation:

Exterior angles thm:

8x + 4 = 100

8x = 104

x = 13

m<F:

3x + 14

3(13) + 14

39 + 14

A manufacturer of bolts has a​ quality-control policy that requires it to destroy any bolts that are more than 4 standard deviat
Doss [256]

Answer:

more than 15.40 cm and less than  14.60 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of bolts has a quality control policy that requires it destroy any bolts that are more than 4 standard deviations from the mean.

mean length= 15 cm

standard deviation= 0.10 cm

4 standard deviation from mean= 15±(4×0.10)

therefore, bolts of length more than 15+0.4, and less than 15-0.4 will be destroyed

= 15.40 cm and 14.60 cm

Isaac is 3 years older than Rachael. In 4 years the sum of their ages will be 75. How old is Isaac now?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

36 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = age of Rachael

2x+3 = current ages combined

[(2x+3)+4]+4 = 75

2x+11 = 75

2x = 75-11

2x = 64

x = 32

Rachel is 32 years old. Isaac is 3 years older, which is 35 years old.

Hope this helped! If you need any help, tell me in the comments.
