Answer:

Betty is 27. Her son is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use b to represent Betty's age. We will use s to represent her son's age.

This year:

b = 3s

In 12 years' time:

b + 12 = 2(s + 12) - 3

b + 12 = 2s + 24 - 3

b + 12 = 2s + 21

b = 2s + 9

We know that b = 3s, so we can substitute this value into our equation.

3s = 2s + 9

s = 9

b = 3 x 9

b = 27

Find the average distance each data value in the set is from the mean. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary. Pri
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The average distance of each observation from the mean is 0.                

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

$7, $20, $9, $35, $12, $15, $7, $10, $20, $25

Formula:

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{160}{10} =16

Difference from the mean value of each term:

-9, 4, -7, 19, -4, -1, -9, -6, 4, 9

Average distances =

\text{Average distance} =\displaystyle\frac{0}{10} =0

Thus, the average distance of each observation from the mean is 0.

A computer online service charges one hourly rate for regular use but a higher hourly rate for designated "premium" areas. One c
N76 [4]

Answer: the service charge per hour for premium services is $5.5

the service charge per hour for regular services is $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the service charge per hour for premium services.

Let y represent the service charge per hour for regular services.

One customer was charged $38 after spending 2 h in premium areas and 9 regular hours. It means that

2x + 9y = 38- - - - - - - - - - - 1

Another customer spent 3 h in premium areas and 6 regular hours and was charged $34.50. It means that

3x + 6y = 34.5- - - - - - - - - - -2

We would eliminate x by multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 2. It becomes

6x + 27y = 114

6x + 12y = 69

Subtracting, it becomes

15y = 45

y = 45/15

y = 3

Substituting y = 3 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 9 × 3 = 38

2x + 27 = 38

2x = 38 - 27 = 11

x = 11/2 = 5.5
