Answer:

Teo is 11 years old and Richard is 26 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let R be the age of Richard and T be the age of Teo.

<u><em>First set up the equations:</em></u>

The combined age of Teo and Richard is 37:

R+T=37

Richard is four years old than twice Teo's age:

R=2T+4

<u><em>Then, solve the equations:</em></u>

Substitute (2) to (1) and solve for T:

(2T+4)+T=37

3T=11

T=11

Solve for R using (2):

R=2(11)+4

R=22+4

R=26

If there are 22 successes in a sample with a size of 40, what is the sample
patriot [66]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

22 successes out of a group of 40 means 22/40 were good. Now, simplify 22/40. Both can be divided by 2.

22/2 = 11

40/2 = 20

Now you have 11/20. Put this in decimal form and you have 0.55
