Answer:

27 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (x - 9) = 63

2x - 9 = 63

add 9 to both sides

2x = 72

Divide both sides by2

x = 36

x - 9 = 36 - 9

x - 9 = 27

James is 8 years old. Last year, his father was 4 times as old as he was. In how many years' time will their combined age be 51?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Last year He was 7 years old.

His father is 4 times the age 7 x 4 = 28

Last year his dad was 28, so this year he is 29.

Combined age this year = 29 + 8 = 37

51 - 37 = 14 years

14/ 2 people = 7 years

8 + 7 = 15

29 + 7 = 36

15 + 36 = 51

It will take 7 years.

Use the confidence interval to find the estimated margin of error. Then find the sample mean. A biologist reports a confidence i

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

$\bar X = \frac{Lower +Upper}{2}$

$\bar X= \frac{1.9+3.3}{2}= 2.6$

And the margin of error with this one:

$\bar X = \frac{Upper-Lower}{2}$

$ME = \frac{3.3-1.9}{2}= 0.7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the parameter of interest is the sample mean $\mu$ . And we can estimate this parameter with a confidence interval given by this formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

For this case the confidence interval is given by (1.9, 3.3)

Since the confidence interval is symmetrical we can estimate the sample mean with this formula:

$\bar X = \frac{Lower +Upper}{2}$

$\bar X= \frac{1.9+3.3}{2}= 2.6$

And the margin of error with this one:

$\bar X = \frac{Upper-Lower}{2}$

$ME = \frac{3.3-1.9}{2}= 0.7$

A rectangular auditorium seats 1344 people. The number of seats in each rows exceeds the number of rows by 20. Find the number o

Tasya [4]

Let the number of rows be x

rows = x
seats in each row = x + 20

total seats = 1344
x (x + 20) = 1344
x^2 + 20x - 1344 = 0
(x + 48)(x - 28) = 0
x = -48 (rejected, answer cannot be negative) or x = 28

Therefore,
x = 28
x + 20 = 48

Check:
Row = 28
Numbers of seat per row = 28 + 20 = 48
28 x 48 = 1344 (Correct)

Ans:There are 48 seats per row
