Serggg [28]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we are going to make an age table:

                       Age Now                 Age 10 years ago

Tanya

Elliot

Filling the in the Age Now column comes from the first sentence. If Elliot is 2 times Tanya's age and we don't know Tanya's age, then Tanya's age is x and Elliot's age is 2x:

            Age Now                Age 10 years ago

Tanya         x

Elliot         2x

Filling in the Age 10 years ago column simply requires that we take their ages in the Age Now column and subtract 10 from each age:

         Age Now                Age 10 years ago

Tanya     x                              x - 10

Elliot      2x                           2x - 10

Since the question is How old is Elliot now based on the fact that 10 years ago....blah, blah, blah, we are using the ages in the 10 years ago column to write our equation. It says:

10 years ago, Elliot was 4 times as old as Tanya. Translated into mathspeak:

2x - 10 = 4(x - 10) and

2x - 10 = 4x - 40 and

-2x = -30 so

x = 15. That means that Elliot is 30 and Tanya is 15

What is the x-intercept of -2x 5y = 20 ? question 1 options: 10 4 -4 -10?
Ahat [919]
You mean -2x+5y=20 if it was that's how you do it
so if you're finding the x intercept the y will turn to 0 why because you're only looking for x their's no need for y
so it will be -2x+0=20
-2x=20 if it's multiplication then you change it to division
-2x/-2=20/-2
x=-10

Problem 1

Answer: Closer to 1

Explanation:

There are 20 gumballs total. Half of this is 20/2 = 10 gumballs. If there's more than 10 of one color, then the probability of getting that color is closer to 1, than it is to 0. Here we have 12 pink which is greater than 10, so that's why the answer is closer to 1.

================================================

Problem 2

Answer: Closer to 0

Explanation:

The amount of green (3) is less than 10, so that's why the probability is closer to 0 than it is to 1. We can see that 3/20 = 0.15 is less than 0.50

================================================

Problem 3

Answer: Closer to 0

Explanation:

We have a similar situation compared to problem 2. This time we have 5/20 = 0.25 which is less than 0.50

================================================

Problem 4

Answer: 48% chance; fairly likely

Explanation:

We have 12 green out of 25 total, so the probability of choosing green is 12/25 = 0.48 = 48%. While this probability is not over 50%, I still say it's fairly likely considering the other colors lead to smaller probabilities. For instance, purple has a chance of 6/25 = 0.24 = 24% and orange has a probability of 2/25 = 0.04 = 4%, both of which are smaller than 48%
