Ms naima is 5 years younger than twice nasser’s age. The sum of their ages is 40. How old is ms naima?

1 answer:

7 0

Ms. Naima is 25.
(I used s for nasser and m for naima)

Set up equations.
2s - 5 = m

s + m = 40
m = 40 - s

m = m so...

40 - s = 2s - 5
Move like terms to same side

40 + 5 = 2s + s
45 = 3s
15 = s

Substitute s into an equation.

(15) + m = 40

m=40-15
m=25

since naima is represented by m, naima’s age is 25.

Assume that two fair dice are rolled. First compute P(F) and then P(FIE). Explain why one would expect the

saveliy_v [14]

The probability that a three shows on at least one of the dice is 11/36.

<h3>How to calculate the probability?</h3>

It should be noted that of probability means the likelihood of the occurence of an event.

The probability that a three shows on at least one of the dice will be:

= 11/36

This can be seen from the table that is attached.

The probability that the total is less than 8 will be:

= 21/36

= 7/12

Here, there are 21 places where the total is less than 8.

Help me please Solve for r d=rt

Vika [28.1K]

Watch closely. I'll try to go slow.
Stop me if I go too fast, or if I do anything that you don't understand.

Ready ?

You said d = r t

Divide each side by ' t ' : d / t = r

3х - 30 = у 7y - 6 = 3х

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This one is simple substitution... at least, substitution is the easiest method. The first equation is 3x – 30 = y and the second is 7y – 6 = 3x

As I look, I see 3 ways to use substitution to solve this:

substitute 7y – 6 for 3x
substitute 3x – 30 for y
solve 3x – 30 = y for 3x and make it equal to 7y – 6

We're going to only use 1 method for the sake of time. Try the other two on your own. Assuming you don't make any mistakes, they will work.

Method 1:

3x – 30 = y

7y – 6 = 3x — initial system of equations

7y – 6 – 30 = y — substitute 7y – 6 for 3x

7y – 6 – 30 = y — marking like terms, bold for constants, underlined for variables

7y – 36 = y — combining the constants and simplifying

Here, you could diverge into multiple paths: add 36 to both sides, subtract y from both sides, divide by 6 OR subtract 7y from both sides and divide by –6 . For the sake of time, I'm subtracting 7y, though I don't like dealing with negatives.

7y – 7y – 36 = y – 7y — subtract 7y from both sides

–36 = –6y — simplify

–36 ÷ –6 = –6y ÷ –6 — divide by –6 on both sides

y = 6 — simplify

Again, we can diverge here: substitute y into 3x – 30 = y or substitute y into 7y – 6 = 3x

I'm going to choose 3x – 30 = y but it will work either way, should you take the time (if you have it) to chase down every path this problem can take.

3x – 30 = y — initial equation

3x – 30 = 6 — substitute 6 for y

3x – 30 + 30 = 6 + 30 — add 30 to both sides to isolate 3x

3x = 36 — simplify the expression

3x ÷ 3 = 36 ÷ 3 — divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

x = 12 — simplify

So, we have x = 12 and y = 6 . We know they work for 3x – 30 = y but not if they work for 7y – 6 = 3x . Let's substitute those in to see if (12, 6) really is the solution point.

7y – 6 = 3x — original equation

7(6) – 6 ≟ 3(12) — substitute 6 for y and 12 for x

42 – 6 ≟ 36 — simplify by multiplying

36 = 36 ✔ — simplify by combining like terms on left side

Success! It works! We have found our solution!

I hope this helps increase your understanding of the concept. Have a great day!
