Answer:
26 year old

Step by step explanation:
Five years ago, John's age was half of the age he will be in 8 years.
this means that (x-5) = (x+8)/2
-----
solving for x, we get:
2 * (x-5) = x + 8
which becomes:
2x - 10 = x + 8
which becomes:
x = 18
-----
john is 18 years old now.
5 years ago john was 13
8 years from now john will be 26
13 = 1/2 * 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

=x-5 = (x+8)/2

=2[x-5 = (x+8)/2]

=2x-10 = x+8

=2x-x=10+8

=x=18

ANS: x=18

Select the correct answer. What is the definition of csc θ ?
OleMash [197]

Answer:

A. csc θ=1/sinθ

Step-by-step explanation:

From SOHCAHTOA,

sine = opposite/ hypotenuse

Cos = adjacent / hypotenuse

Tan = opposite / adjacent

In a right angled triangle, the cosecant of an angle is the length of the hypotenuse divided by the length of the side opposite the angle. This is the inverse of sine , therefore:

Csc Ф = 1/ sinФ

I need help with these 2
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Hey for the second one I got y = -3/4x -0.5 I'm not sure if its correct though sorry if not
ill try my best to explain my solution though
1. From the parallel equation (3x + 4y = 12) all we need to do is find the slope

So the easiest way to do so is to put the said equation in <u>y-intercept </u>form

y=mx +b
m= slope

b= y intercept

so 1. 3x + 4y = 12

=

4y = 12-3x

divide that by 4 to get only y

y=3-3/4x

-3/4 is our slope

y=-3/4x+b

than we have a point -2, -2

if we put -2 for y

-2=-3/4x+b

and then we put our -2 for x
-2 = -3/4 * -2 + b

=

-2  = -1.5 +b
b=-0.5

Answer : y=-3/4x-0.5

Cara and her brother take a numbered spinner from a board game and use it to determine
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

They are dependent events because if cara spins it and it lands on her she gets to play with the puppy, But if she misses it and her brother spins and it lands on him he gets to play with the puppy.

Short answer: the event is dependent because the outcome of the first spin effects the brother outcome
