Here, let the age of student be x and teacher be 4x after 28 years, the teacher is double the age of student. So the age of teacher will be 4x+28 and student will be 2(x+28)
So,
4x+28=2(x+28)
4x+28=2x+56
4x-2x=56-28
2x=28
x=14
Therefore the age of the teacher in present will be
=4x+28
=4*14+28
=84
And age of student will be:
=x+28
=14+28
=42
Hope this helps

What would be Kelly’s weight be in newtons if her mass is 70 kilograms?Select one of the options below as your answer:A. 70 × gB
BARSIC [14]
The formula for getting the weight is W=mg where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.806 m/s^2) and W is the weight in Newtons. 

W=mg
W=70*9.806=686.42 N

The answer is A. 70xg (where g=acceleration due to gravity)

The mean per capita income is 20,90820,908 dollars per annum with a standard deviation of 407407 dollars per annum. What is the
LiRa [457]

Answer:

z=\frac{20880-20908}{\frac{407}{\sqrt{55}}}= -0.51

z=\frac{20936-20908}{\frac{407}{\sqrt{55}}}= 0.51

Then we can find the probability of interest with this difference:

P(-0.51

And using the normal standard distribution or excel we got:

P(-0.51

So then the probability  that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by less than 28 dollars from the sample of 55 is approximately 0.390

Step-by-step explanation:

We define the variable of interest as the per capita income and we know the following properties for this variable:

\mu=20908 and \sigma=407

We want to find this probability:

P(20908-28

We select a sample size of n=55 and we define the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

We can find the z score then for 20880 and 20936 and we got:

z=\frac{20880-20908}{\frac{407}{\sqrt{55}}}= -0.51

z=\frac{20936-20908}{\frac{407}{\sqrt{55}}}= 0.51

Then we can find the probability of interest with this difference:

P(-0.51

And using the normal standard distribution or excel we got:

P(-0.51

So then the probability  that the sample mean would differ from the true mean by less than 28 dollars from the sample of 55 is approximately 0.390

Solve for a<br><br> - 8a = 24
Amanda [17]

Answer:

a = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

Divide -8 from both sides:

(-8a)/-8 = (24)/-8

a = 24/-8

a = -3

a = -3 is your answer.
