Answer:

Smaller is 5, larger is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

y is larger, x is smaller

2y = 3 + 5x

4y + 3x = 71

Let's solve for y in the first one, then substitute that into the second one.

y = 3/2 + 5/2x

4(3/2 + 5/2x) + 3x = 71

12/2 + 20/2x + 3x = 71

6 + 10x + 3x = 71

13x = 65

x = 5

Substitute that in to the first equation:

2y = 3 + 5(5)

2y = 3 + 25

2y = 28

y = 14

check those answers in the second equation

4y + 3x = 71

4(14) + 3(5)

= 56 + 15 =71

Enny’s mother is 5 years older than twice Jenny's age. The sum of their ages is 62 years. This is represented by the equation x
pickupchik [31]
X + 2x + 5 = 62 which can be turned into.
3x + 5 = 62 
      -5      -5 now we subtract 5 from each side
3x = 57
/3     /3 now we divide 3 from each side to get...
x = 19.
Now to check 19 + (2 x 19) + 5 does in fact equal 62.  Jenny is 19 years old.  Hope this helped.

The data represents the body mass index? (bmi) values for 20 females. construct a frequency distribution beginning with a lower
Reil [10]
Given the data below <span>representing the body mass index (bmi) values for 20 females.
17.7     33.5     26.9     22.7     22.2     29.9     23.6     18.3     27.7     23.4     19.2     25.9     22.9     37.7     31.6     28.1     44.9     31.6     25.2     23.9

From the data above, we construct a frequency distribution beginning with a lower class limit of 15.0 and use a class width of 6.0 as follows:

Class iinterval: 15.0 - 21.0   21.0 - 27.0   27.0 - 33.0   33.0 - 39.0   39.0 - 45.0
Frequency:              3                  9                  5                   2                  1

From the frequency table, it can be seen that the frequencies started low, increased to a point and then decrease. It can also be seen that the highest frequency of the data is not at the center of the distribution, so the distribution is not symetric.

Therefore, the frequency distribution does not appear to be roughly a normal distribution, because, "although the frequency start low, increase to some maximum, then decrease, the distribution is not symmetric."</span>
