Let x = John's age now

half of what johns age was 4 years ago: (1/2)(x-4)

is equal to one third of what it will be in 5 years time: (1/3)(x+5)

(1/2)(x-4) = (1/3)(x+5)

3(x-4) = 2(x+5)

3x - 12 = 2x + 10

Eva payrolls for on a number cube and the number of cubes roll 24 times then what is a reasonable prediction for the number of s

Allushta [10]

Answer:

The reasonable prediction for successful rolls is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the rolling cube is a fair 6 sided cube, so the probability of success of one roll is given as

$P(Success)=\dfrac{Number\ of\ successful\ events}{Number\ of\ total\ events}$

$P(Success)=\dfrac{1}{6}$

The total success is given as

$P(Total\ Success)=P(Success)\times Number\ of\ events$

For 24 rolls it is given as

$P(Total\ Success)=P(Success)\times Number\ of\ events\\P(Total\ Success)=\dfrac{1}{6}\times 24\\P(Total\ Success)=4$

So the reasonable prediction for successful rolls is 4.

Let f(x) = tan(x) - 2/x. Let g(x) = x^2 + 8. What is f(x)*g(y)?

Tema [17]

Answer:

$f(x)\times g(y)=y^2tan(x)+8tan(x)-\frac{2y^2}{x}-\frac{16}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$f(x)=tan(x)-\frac{2}{x}$

$g(x)=x^2+8$

We have to find $f(x)\times g(y)$

To find the value of $f(x)\times g(y)$ we will multiply f(x) by g(y)

$g(y)=y^2+8$

Now,

$f(x)\times g(y)=(tanx-\frac{2}{x})(y^2+8)$

$f(x)\times g(y)=tan(x)(y^2+8)-\frac{2}{x}(y^2+8)$

$f(x)\times g(y)=y^2tan(x)+8tan(x)-\frac{2y^2}{x}-\frac{16}{x}$

Hence,

$f(x)\times g(y)=y^2tan(x)+8tan(x)-\frac{2y^2}{x}-\frac{16}{x}$

There are two balance beams at the gym.one is 15 feet long ,theother is 162 inches long.which beam is longer?

Oduvanchick [21]

12 inches = 1 foot

Let x=length of 2nd balance beam in feet

by ratio and proportion

1/12 = x/162

multiply noth sides by 162 to isolate x

(1/12)(162) = (x/162)(162)

162/12 = x

13.5 = x
