Answer:

g = j - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Jessie installed j axles. Convert words to math:

- "12 more" = + 12

- "the number of engine blocks her friend Gus installed yesterday" = g

Put it together: g + 12. This is equal to j: j = g + 12. Solve for g:

j = g + 12

g = j - 12

Lets use the variables "a" and "g" to solve.

a =  number of axles

g =  number of engine blocks

If Jessie has 12 more axles than the number of engine blocks, this means we are adding (g + 12).

Now, we have the expression a = g + 12

Solve for g since we are finding the number of engine blocks Gus Installed.

a = g + 12

~Subtract 12 to both sides

a - 12 = g + 12 - 12

a - 12 = g

Therefore, the answer is [ a - 12 = g ]

Best of Luck!

It is estimated that approximately 10.5% of Americans are afflicted with diabetes. Suppose that a new diagnostic test is being c
Alla [95]

Answer:

0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of americans with diabetes = 10.5% = 0.105

Percentage of americans without diabetes = 89.5% = 0.895

Adults over 40 with diabetes tested positive = 95% = 0.95

Adults over 40 with diabetes tested negative = 5% = 0.05

Adults over 40 without diabetes tested positive = 3.5% = 0.035

Adults over 40 without diabetes tested negative = 96.5% = 0.965

The probability of selecting an adult over 40 without diabetes but positive diagnosis;

     = 0.895 * 0.035

     = 0.031325

     = 0.03

Jamie can read at a speed of 65 pages per hour. If she reads a novel that has 400 pages, how long will it
horsena [70]
To find the answer set up an equation:
400 \: pages \times  \frac{1 \: hour}{65 \: pages}  =
Using this set up we can cross our units of pages since they are on opposite side of the proportion, leaving us with the desired units of hours.

Then divide 400 by 65 which will give us our answer: 6.15 or about 6 hours for Jamie to finish her reading.

Solve the system of equations. y = x + 2, y = x2 + 7x + 10
Monica [59]

Answer:

(- 2, 0 ) and (- 4, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x + 2 → (1)

y = x² + 7x + 10 → (2)

Since both equations express y in terms of x we can equate them, that is

x² + 7x + 10 = x + 2 ( subtract x + 2 from both sides )

x² + 6x + 8 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 2)(x + 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

Substitute these values into (1) for corresponding values of y

x = - 2 : y = - 2 + 2 = 0 ⇒ (- 2, 0 )

x = - 4 : y = - 4 + 2 = - 2 ⇒ (- 4, - 2 )

Solutions are (- 2, 0 ) and (- 4, - 2 )
