Answer:

Raj is 27 yrs and Be is 14 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of Raj be x and Ben be y

case_1

x + y =37

x = 37 - y

case_2

x - 5 = 2(y -5)

x-5 = 2y -10

37 - y -5 = 2y - 10

32 + 10 = 2y + y

42 = 3y

y = 14 yrs

now,

x = 37 - 14

x = 27

Let x and y be present age of Raj and that of Ben respectively.

1. x+y=37

2. x-5=2(y-5)

from 2

x-5=2y-10

x=2y-5

Sub x=2y-5 into 1

2y-5+y=37

y=14

put y=14 into x=2y-5

x=2(14)-5

x=23

Thus, present age of Raj and Ben are 23 and 14 respectively.

A baseball is hit inside a baseball diamond with a length and width of 90 feet each. What is the probability that the ball will
professor190 [17]
90(squared) + 90 (squared) = C (squared)
(we use 90 because the base path is 90 ft long since the diamond is a square that makes all sides 90 ft long)
8100 + 8100 = c(squared)
16200 = c(squared)
we will get the square root of 16200 to get the diagonal length
C=127.3 ft, and since it is the diagonal distance we will device it to 2, to get the distance from the pitcher ro the 2nd base.
127.3/2 = 67.7 ft.
67.7 ft is the distance from the pitcher<span> to the 2nd base.</span>
