Ok, Soooo.... It is all about probability. First take down all your info.

A die has 6 different sides. 2 die = 12 sides. 2 different ages. The chances of one of their ages coming up on the first throw is very unlikely, because of all the different combinations you could come up with. Take that into consideration.
Now, you would add up all your information. My guess is that they want to see how you work out the question to see how soon their age would come. Note down that there are many different options.

Hope this helps,

Answer:

Graph A

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = {x}^{2} - 6x - 7 \\ plug \: y = 0 \\ {x}^{2} - 6x - 7 = 0 \\ {x}^{2} - 6x + 9 = 7 + 9 \\ (x - 3)^{2} = 16 \\ (x - 3) = \pm 4 \\ x = 4 + 3 \: or \: x = - 4 + 3 \\ x = 7 \: or \: x = - 1$

Its mean graph should intersect x axis at x = 7 and x = - 1. This everything is satisfied by graph A.

Answer:

The length of the line segment is 10 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call the given two points: (x₁, y₁) = (2, -3) and (x₂, y₂) = (8, 5).

The distance between two points, d = $\sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2} }$

Here, $(x_1, y_1) = (2, -3)$ and

$(x_2, y_2) = (8, 5)$

Therefore, distance, d = $\sqrt{(8 - 2)^2 + (5 - (-3))^2$

$= \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2}$

$= \sqrt{36 + 64}$

$= \sqrt{100}$

= 10 units.

Hence, the answer.

The combined age of three relatives is 120 years. James is three times the age of Dan, and Paul is two time the sum of the ages

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Dan's age

3x be James'age

Paul 2(3x+x)=6x+2x

Suming all ages

x+3x+6x+2x=120

Solving for x

12x=120

x=10 (Dan's age)

3×=30 (James'age)

6×+2×=80(Paul's age)
