Answer:

a = 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark is 6 years older than his brother Sam. Now, we are asked to represent Sam’s age by a. This means that if Sam is a years old, Mark is (a + 6) years old.

The sum of their ages is 30, this means that when we add their ages together, we get the sum of thirty.

Mathematically this means a + a + 6 = 30

2a + 6 = 30

This is the equation needed to get a. To get a , we proceed to solve the equation to completion.

2a = 30 - 6

2a = 24

a = 24/2

a = 12

Monica [59]

I'm assuming the question is

A company pays its employees a fixed base salary and a commission based on sales. The scatter plot shows the total earning of an employee of the company (y) based on sales (x):

Plot the ordered pairs 0, 10 and 100, 20 and 200, 30 and 300, 40 and 400, 50 and 500, 60

Which function best represents the data in the scatter plot? (1 point)

y = 0.1x + 10

y = 0.1x − 10

y = 0.1x + 1

y = 0.2x − 1

So thus your answer would be y = 0.1x + 10

Two cards are dealt at random from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that the first card is a King and the se
34kurt

Answer:

1 / 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of cards in a deck = 52

Number of heart suit = 13

Number of kings = 4

Recall:

Probability = (required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

P(first card is king) = 4/52 = 1/13

P(second card is heart) = 13/51

Hence,

P(first card is king) * P(second card is heart)

(1/ 13) * (13/51) = 13 / 663 = 1/ 51
