Answer:

18 yrs and

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Henry’s age be A and Paul’s age be B

Given Henry’s age A is 10 yrs less than 4 times Paul’s age B.

That’s

A =4 x B - 10

A = 4B - 10

The sum of their ages is equal to 25

That’s

A + B = 25

Therefore,we no now have to equations

1. A = 4B - 10

2. A + B = 25

Now put 4B - 10 in place of A in equation 2

We have

A + B = 25

4B - 10 + B = 25

This can also be written as

4B + B - 10 = 25

5B - 10 = 25

Add 10 to both sides

5B - 10 + 10 = 25 + 10

5B = 35

Divide both sides by 5

5B/5 = 35/5

B = 7

Paul’s age = 7 yrs

Recall A = 4B - 10

and B= 7

Therefore,

A = 4 x 7 - 10

A = 28 - 10

A = 18

Henry’s age = 18 yrs

Their ages are 18 yrs and 7 years

If you get a sneak peak at the salary list of your job and realize you are in the lowest bracket, which is the lowest 1%, what i
hoa [83]

Answer:

z=-2.33

And if we solve for a we got

a=48000 -2.33*5500=35185

And for this case the answer would be 35185 the lowest 1% for the salary

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the salary, and for this case we can assume that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(48000,5500)  

Where \mu=48000 and \sigma=5500

And we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.99   (a)

P(X   (b)

We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.01 of the area on the left and 0.99 of the area on the right it's z=-2.33. On this case P(Z<-2.33)=0.01 and P(z>-2.33)=0.99

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-2.33

And if we solve for a we got

a=48000 -2.33*5500=35185

And for this case the answer would be 35185 the lowest 1% for the salary

if an external point of a circle is at a distance equal to the diameter of the circle from the center of the circle, the length
jeka57 [31]

Let the radius of the circle be r. Then the line from the external point through the center of the circle which extends to the far point on the circle has length 3r .By the tangent - secant theorem

t^2 = 3r * r = 3r^2 ( where t is the length of the tangent).

So t = √(3r^2) = √3r answer.

Richard bought a pair of shoes for $37.00, a tie for $22.00, and a new belt for $17.00. If the sales tax is 7.5%, how much sales
nadezda [96]

It seems to me, that if you were to add the price of all three items together, then multiply by 7.5%, you'd have the answer.  Remember that 7.5% = .075 ... in other words, that is the number you would multiply the sum of the items by.  Does that help?
