Casey is six times as old as Ralph. In two years, she will be four times as old as Ralph. How old is each of them now?

lisov135 [29]

Ralph is 3 years old

Casey is 18 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Ralph be x

Then Casey is 6 times as old as Ralph will be 6x

In two years

Ralph =x+2

Casey=6x+2 ⇒ 4(x+2)

Equate the two equations for Casey as

6x+2 = 4x+8

6x-4x=8-2

2x=6

x=6/2= 3

Current age;

Ralph= x= 3 years old

Casey=6x = 6*3= 18 years

Solve this x²+8/10 -x = 10/2

AysviL [449]

$x^2+\frac{8}{10}-x=\frac{10}{2}\\
x^2-x+\frac{8}{10}-\frac{10}{2}=0\\
x^2-x+\frac{8}{10}-\frac{50}{10}=0\\
x^2-x-\frac{42}{10}=0\\
x^2-x+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{42}{10}=0\\
(x-\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{42}{10}\\
(x-\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{5}{20}+\frac{84}{20}\\
(x-\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{89}{20}\\
x-\frac{1}{2}=\sqrt{\frac{89}{20}} \vee x-\frac{1}{2}=-\sqrt{\frac{89}{20}}\\
x=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{89}}{\sqrt{20}} \vee x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{89}}{\sqrt{20}}\\


$
$x=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{89}}{2\sqrt{5}} \vee x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{89}}{2\sqrt5}}\\
x=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{445}}{10} \vee x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{445}}{10}}\\
x=\frac{5+\sqrt{445}}{10} \vee x=\frac{5-\sqrt{445}}{10}}\\$

Suppose medical records indicate that

Kay [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable representing the the length of newborn babies (in inches). Since it is normally distributed and the population mean and population standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 20 inches

σ = 2.6 inches

the probability that a given infant is between 14.8 and 25.2 inches long is expressed as

P(14.8 ≤ x ≤ 25.2)

For x = 14.8,

z = (14.8 - 20)/2.6 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.023

For x = 25.2

z = (25.2 - 20)/2.6 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.98

Therefore,

P(14.8 ≤ x ≤ 25.2) = 0.98 - 0.23 = 0.75
