Ben is n years old.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

T = 4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Ben's age

2x = Chloe's age

x - 5 = Dan's age

Combine all the terms and simplify to form an equation.

T = 2x + x + x -5

T = 4x - 5

If i roll 2 dice what is the probability that neither of them are prime nor even?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

There are 3 prime numbers shown on the die: 2, 3 and 5. The probability of showing a prime number on a single die is 1/2, hence the probability of not showing a prime number is also 1/2. Total possible outcomes when two dice are rolled = 6*6 = 36. Total possible outcomes when two dice are rolled = 6*6 = 36.

Solve the system of two equations 2y=8 and 15y=2x-4
damaskus [11]
To find y, divide the first equation by 2.
  y = 4

To find x, use that value for y in the second equation. Add 4, then divide by 2.
  15·4 = 2x -4
  60 +4 = 2x
  64/2 = x = 32

The solution is (x, y) = (32, 4).

I need explanations for Mathematical Proofs.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Proofs employ logic expressed in mathematical symbols, along with natural language which usually admits some ambiguity. In most mathematical literature, proofs are written in terms of rigorous informal logic.

According to Bleiler-Baxter & Pair [22], for a mathematician, a proof serves to convince or justify that a certain statement is true. But it also helps to increase the understanding of the result and the related concepts. That is why a proof also has the role of explanation.

There are many different ways to go about proving something, we'll discuss 3 methods: direct proof, proof by contradiction, proof by induction. We'll talk about what each of these proofs are, when and how they're used. Before diving in, we'll need to explain some terminology.

Although I will focus on proofs in mathematical education per the topic of the question, first and foremost proofs are so hard because they involve taking a hypothesis and attempting to prove or disprove it by finding a counterexample. There are many such hypotheses that have (had) serious monetary rewards available.

In logic and mathematics, a formal proof or derivation is a finite sequence of sentences (called well-formed formulas in the case of a formal language), each of which is an axiom, an assumption, or follows from the preceding sentences in the sequence by a rule of inference.

All mathematicians in the study considered proofs valuable for students because they offer students new methods, important concepts and exercise in logical reasoning needed in problem solving. The study shows that some mathematicians consider proving and problem solving almost as the same kind of activities.

Solve the inequality: –3(x + 2) > 4x + 5(x – 7)
Gwar [14]

Answer:

29/12 > x

Step-by-step explanation:

–3(x + 2) > 4x + 5(x – 7)

Distribute

-3x -6 > 4x +5x-35

Combine like terms

-3x-6 > 9x -35

Add 3x to each side

-3x+3x-6 > 9x+3x -35

-6 > 12x-35

Add 35 to each side

-6+35 > 12x -35+35

29 > 12x

Divide each side by 12

29/12 > 12x/12

29/12 > x
