Answer:

Priya's age = 15

Amirah's age = 19

Shirley's age = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age of Priya.

According to the question,

Amirah's age = x + 4

Shirley's age = x - 2

Their sum is 47.

So,

x + 4 + x + x - 2 = 47

3x + 2 = 47

3x = 47 - 2

3x = 45

x = 45/3

x = 15

So,

Priya's age = 15

Amirah's age = 15 + 4 = 19

Shirley's age = 15 - 2 = 13

Answer:

Priya is 15 years old

Amirah is 19 years old and

Shirley is 13 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

let Amirah =x

let Priya = y

let Shirley = s

so we have

x= 4+y

s=y-2

x+y+s =47

we have x= 4+y

4+y+y+s=47

4+2y+s=47

2y+s=43

s-y=-2 (MULTIPLY BY NEGATIVE 1)

y-s =2

2y+s= 43

by solving simultaneously we get

3y= 45

y=15

x= 4+y

x=19

s=y-2

s= 13

so Priya is 15 years old

Amirah is 19 years old and

Shirley is 13 years old

"What is the probability of drawing a jack or queen from a standard deck of cards?"
Natasha2012 [34]
Well, there are 52 cards in a deck, with 4 suits. there is a Jack and queen per suit, so that is a total of 8 jacks and queens in the deck. that probability looks like 8:52 as a ratio, or 2:13 simplified. so, you are likely to draw a Jack or queen 8 out of 52 times, or 2 out of 13 times

What is the equation in point-slope form of a line that passes through the points (-4, -1) and (5, 7)?
Setler [38]

Answer:

y + 1 = 8/9(x +4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope: [7- (-1)]/ [5 - (-4)] = 8/9

Using (-4, -1)

y-(-1) = 8/9[x- (-4)]

y + 1 = 8/9(x +4)

Which correctly describes a cross section of the cube below? Check all that apply.
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

A cross section parallel to the base is a square measuring 4 cm by 4 cm.

A cross section perpendicular to the base through the midpoints of opposite sides is a square measuring 4 cm by 4 cm.

A cross section that passes through the entire bottom front edge and the entire top back edge is a rectangle measuring 4 cm by greater than 4 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross sections parallel and Perpendicular to the base are squares 4 × 4

The diagonal cross section will be a rectangle with base 4 and height

sqrt(4² + 4²) = 4sqrt(2) > 4
