Answer:

  Sydney is 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent Sydney's age. Then Devaughn's age is (s-14). The total of their ages is ...

  s +(s -14) = 76

  2s = 90 . . . . . . simplify, add 14

  s = 45 . . . . . . . divide by 2

Sydney's age is 45.

___

<em>Check</em>

  Devaughn's age is 45 -14 = 31. Their age total is 45 +31 = 76, as required.

Answer:

x + (x - 14) = 76

2x - 14 = 76

2x = 90

x = 45

Sydney is 45

45 - 14 = 31

Devaughn is 31

31 + 45 = 76 ✅

Lera25 [3.4K]
To determine the probability that one or the other circumstances will occur, you will count the number of possible outcomes and divide it by all the possible outcomes.

#of female teaching assistants + # of male teaching assistants + # of female professors

6 + 16 + 11 = 33

Total = 41

33/41 = 80

There is a approximate 80% probability that one or the other will occur.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Distance between the two cities:

453 - 333 = 120 miles.

Rest area is 2/3 of the way:

120 x 2/3 = 240/3 = 80 miles.

Divide the miles to the rest stop by his speed:

80 miles/ 60 miles per hour = 1 and 1/3 hours as a fraction. 1.3333 as a decimal( round as needed.

( 1 hour and 20 minutes)

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The student currently has $50 and plans to save $15 every month.

Let x represent the number of months that the student will save enough money to buy the microscope.

Let y represent the amount that the student saves after x months.

The function that represents the amount y (in dollars) of money that the student saves after x months will be

y = 50 + 15x

The 50 remains constant because she has already saved it
