Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30
Todd is 30 now.
_____
You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's the thing. It is easier to figure out the probability of not getting a six even once during the 50 rolls.
The chance of that happening is (5/6)^50 = 0.00010988
So the probability is succeeding is (1 - 0.00010988) = 0.9999 rounded to 4 places.
Answer:
Dude, where's the picture?
2x + 4 = 3x - 10
-2x and +10 to both sides
14 = x
the answer is x = 14
