27=2J+B

you can guess and check: 27=2(9)+9

J=jay

B=blair

We can solve this using the equation 2x+x=27. The 2x represents Jay, and the x represents Blair. We can simplify the equation to 3x=27. 27/3=9. Blair caught 9 fish, and Jay caught 18 fish. I hope this helps!

The sum of the ages of Kristen and Ben is 32. Four years ago Kristen was twice as old as Ben. How old are they both now?
Elan Coil [88]

Let us say that:

K = age of Kristen

B = age of Ben

 

From the problem, we make the equations:

eqtn 1: K + B = 32

eqtn 2: (K – 4) = 2 (B – 4)

 

Simplifying eqtn 2:

K – 4 = 2 B – 8

K = 2 B – 4

 

Plugging in this to eqtn 2:

(2 B – 4) + B = 32

3 B – 4 = 32

3 B = 36

B = 12

 

From eqtn 2:

K = 2 B – 4 = 2 (12) – 4 = 20

 

So Kristen is 20 while Ben is 12.

Iq scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
bearhunter [10]

Mean is \mu=100 and a standard deviation is \sigma =15, then the variable X\sim N(100,15^2).

Use substitution

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma},\\  \\ Z=\dfrac{X-100}{15}.

This substitution gives you that Z\sim N(0,1).

a. For X=130, Z=\dfrac{130-100}{15}=2 and Pr(X>130)=Pr(Z>2) =0.9772 (the decimal value is taken from the Standard Normal Distribution Table).

b. For X=90, Z=\dfrac{90-100}{15}=-\dfrac{2}{3} and for X=110, Z=\dfrac{110-100}{15}=\dfrac{2}{3}. Then Pr(90 (the decimal value is taken from the Standard Normal Distribution Table).

Michael and his wife are each starting a saving plan. Michael will initially set aside $75 and then add $50.85 every week to the
lana [24]

Answer:

T = 75 + 116.9*N

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the equation for Michael's savings is:

A = 75 + 50.85*N, where N is the number of weeks

And we have that the equation for his wife's savings is:

B = 65.95*N.

So, to find the total amount saved using both plans combined (T), we have to sum A and B:

T = A + B = 75 + 50.85*N + 65.95*N = 75 + 116.9*N

So the equation that relates T to N is:

T = 75 + 116.9*N
