Let Casey's age be x

Brian's age will be -3 from 2 times x ( Casey's age ) so it will be 2x-3

Adam's age will be Casey's age (x) + 9 which is x+9

NOW the sum of all these ages is 46 so..

Casey's age + Brian's age + Adam's age = 46

x + 2x-3 + x+9 = 46

2x + x + x + 9 -3 = 46

4x + (9 - 3) = 46

4x - 6 = 46

now transfer the numbers on the left one by one to the other side( right )

4x = 46 - 6        ( always remember the sign of the number becomes the                            opposite when we transfer them to other side)

4x = 40

x = 40 / 4

x = 10

so x = Casey's age = 10

2x - 3 = Brian's age = 2 * 10 - 3

                                = 20 - 3   =   17

x + 9 = Adam's age = 10 + 9 = 19

A population of caribou in a forest grows at a rate of 6% every year. If there are currently 258 caribou, which function represe
Dimas [21]

Answer:

P(t) = 258( 1 + 6%)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the  population of caribou in a forest grows at a rate of 6% every year. If there are currently 258 caribou, the function representing the number of caribou in the forest in t years will be

P(t) = 258( 1 + 6%)^t

Since it is increasing, it will be 1 + 6%

Where P(t) is the function representing the population after t years.

258 is the current or initial population.

In a group of mherchants, 80% of them purchase goods from Asia, and 25% of them purchase goods from Europe. Which of following s
monitta

Answer:

7. 25% of the merchants who purchase goods from Asia also purchase from Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to say that:

A is the percentage of merchants who purchase goods from Asia.

B is the percentage of merchants who purchase goods from Europe.

We have that:

A = a + (A \cap B)

In which a is the probability that a merchant purchases goods from Asia but not from Europe and A \cap B is the probability that a merchant purchases goods from both Asia and Europe.

By the same logic, we have that:

B = b + (A \cap B)

Which of following statement is individually sufficient to calculate what percent of the merchants in the group purchase goods from Europe but not form Asia?

We already have B.

Knowing A \cap B, that is, the percentage of those who purchase from both Asia and Europe, we can find b.

So the correct answer is:

7. 25% of the merchants who purchase goods from Asia also purchase from Europe.
