Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = sum of ages of all children.

mean age of all children = c/15 = 7

c = 15 * 7 = 105

The sum of the ages of all children is 105.

Let b = sum of ages of the 9 boys.

mean age of boys = b/9 = 5

b = 9 * 5 = 45

The sum of the ages of the boys is 45.

The sum of the ages of the girls is c - b.

c - b = 105 - 45 = 60

The number of girls is 15 - 9 = 6

mean age of girls = (sum of ages of the girls)/(number of girls) =

= 60/6 = 10

In the solution, 3b + 9c = 3(b + 3). What should be done to make it CORRECT?

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The second term of the binomial factor should be 3c instead of 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property:

a*b + a*c = a*(b +c)

3b + 9c = 3*b + 3* 3 *c = 3*(b + 3c)

Use the commutative property to simplify the expression 4/3 + 3/4 + 2/3

saw5 [17]

The simplified expression using the commutative property is : $\frac{6}{3}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$

<h3>Meaning of commutative property</h3>

commutative property can be defined as a mathematics attribute that is possessed by a mathematical equation, that enables the objects undergoing addition or multiplication to change position.

In conclusion, The simplified expression using the commutative property is : $\frac{6}{3}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$

<h3>Analysis</h3>

4/3 + 3/4 + 2/3 = ( $\frac{4}{3}$ + $\frac{2}{3}$ ) + $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{6}{3}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$

Suppose that LMN is isosceles with base LN suppose that M

ira [324]

Given:

In an isosceles triangle LMN, LM=MN.

$m\angle M=(3x+17)^\circ,m\angle L=(2x+36)^\circ$

To find:

The measure of the angles L, M and N.

Solution:

In triangle LMN,

$LM=MN$ (Given)

$m\angle N=m\angle L=(2x+36)^\circ$ (Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal)

Now,

$m\angle L+m\angle M+m\angle N=180^\circ$

$(2x+36)^\circ+(3x+17)^\circ+(2x+36)^\circ=180^\circ$

$(7x+89)^\circ=180^\circ$

$(7x+89)=180$

On further simplification, we get

$7x=180-89$

$7x=91$

$x=\dfrac{91}{7}$

$x=13$

The value of x is 13. Using this value, we get

$m\angle L=(2(13)+36)^\circ$

$m\angle L=(26+36)^\circ$

$m\angle L=62^\circ$

Similarly,

$m\angle M=(3(13)+17)^\circ$

$m\angle M=(39+17)^\circ$

$m\angle M=56^\circ$

And,

$m\angle N=m\angle L$

$m\angle N=62^\circ$

Therefore, the measure of angles are $m\angle L=62^\circ,m\angle M=56^\circ,m\angle N=62^\circ$ .
