Answer:

Mother is presently 34

Scott is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mother's age = x

Let the son's age = y

First Equation

x + y = 45

Second equation

3*(x + 5) - 9 =  y+5                Add 9 to both sides

3(x + 5) = y + 5 + 9

3(x + 5) = y + 14                    Remove the brackets

3x + 15 = y + 14                    Subtract 14 from both sides

3x + 15 - 14 = y

3x + 1 = y

Put the first equation into the second equation

x + y = 45                             Subtract y from both sides

y = 45 - x

Put this value for y into the second equation's results.

3x + 1 = 45 - x                       Add x to both sides

3x + x + 1 = 45                    

4x + 1 = 45                            Subtract 1 from both sides

4x = 45 - 1

4x = 44                                Divide by 4

x = 44/4

x = 11

x + y = 45

11 + y = 45

y = 34

A class survey in a large class for first-year college students asked, “About how many minutes do you study on a typical weeknig
Anika [276]

Answer:  (110.22, 125.78)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for the population mean is given by :-

\mu\ \pm z_{\alpha/2}\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Given : Sample size = 463

\mu=118\text{ minutes}

\sigma=65\text{ minutes}

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.99=0.01

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.005}=\pm2.576

We assume that the population is normally distributed.

Now, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean will be :-

118\ \pm\ 2.576\times\dfrac{65}{\sqrt{463}} \\\\\approx118\pm7.78=(118-7.78\ ,\ 118+7.78)=(110.22,\ 125.78)

Hence, 99% confidence interval for the mean study time of all first-year students = (110.22, 125.78)

Answer: lol your using canvas

1. 63

2. D

3. B

4. A

Sorry for the bland explinations havin a bad day.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The way we solve this is by adding the degrees 72 and 45. then we subtract it by 180. this is because in all triangles the angles always add up to 180 degrees.

2. Like question one what set of angles measures to 180 degrees.

3. The sides of a triangle should define the angle measurements. you can also see if its a triangle if the numbers are continues like 3,4,5 or in this case 4,5,6

4. like in questions 1 and 2 the angles of a triangle has to equal 180 degrees so 60 times 3 is 180 so each angle would have to be 60 degrees.

Please help me please
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: x is 125

Step-by-step explanation: Angles P and S are also consecutive angles, adding up to 180 degrees. 180-55 = 125, so adding the two angles together is 180 degrees. Thus, x is 125.

Eva8 [605]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make a table of values to find the points that belong to the line and then draw the line through those points. Here are some: (-6, -2), (0, -1), and (6, 5). You can use any value for x in your table. Hope this helps!
