Answer: jackson is 12

explanation:
let the age be represented by x
jackson is 2 times older than shelly so
2x is jackson’s age and x is shelly’s age

since the sum of their ages is 18 then:
2x + x = 18

solve:
3x = 18 ➔ divide by 3 on both sides
x = 6

so now we know shelly is 6

jackson is 2 times older than her so:
2(6) = 12

Answer:

Jackson is 12 and Shelly is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know Jackson is two times older than Shelly, it only makes since for our answer to be 12.

to find this you can make two circles and add dashes in each until you reach 18, but add 2 to Jackson to each 1 you put for Shelly.

Two pipes running together can fill a tank in 20 minutes.
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

45, 36

Step-by-step explanation:

let x y minutes be the time for pipes to fill the tank, let n be the water needed to fill the tank.

x-y=9

(n/x)*20+(n/y)*20=n

n is removed by dividing the 2nd equation by n

here u get:

(1/x+1/y)*20=1

you sub x=9+y into the above equation

1/y+1/(9+y)=1/20

((9+y)+(y))*20=(9+y)(y)

180+40y=9y+y2

y2-31y-180=0

then use the quadratic formula and u will find y=36 or -5

-5 is rejected because it is negative

x=36+9=45

therefore it is 36 mins and 45 mins

Dr/dt= 8cmM-¹
dA/dt = ?
but A= πr²
so dA/dr =2πr
but recall
dA/dt = dA/dr • dr/dt
dA/dt = 2πr • 8cmM-¹
dA/dt = 2×π×39 ×8 = 624cm²M-1

Solve for x: 2 over 3 equals 8 over quantity x plus 6
SashulF [63]

Answer:

x = 40/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 = (8/x) + 6

-6                -6

2/3 - 6 = -16/3

-16/3 = 8/x

*x          *x

(-16/3)x = 8

+16/3     +16/3

x = 40/3

Probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring. The probability that a randomly selected student is a junior is 0.35.

<h3>What is Probability?</h3>

Probability helps us to know the chances of an event occurring.

\rm Probability=\dfrac{Desired\ Outcomes}{Total\ Number\ of\ outcomes\ possible}

The probability that a randomly selected student is a junior will be,

P(Junior) = [(Number of Juniors)\(Number of total students)]

P(Junior) = 35/100 = 0.35

Hence, The probability that a randomly selected student is a junior is 0.35.
