Answer:
The answer is 35 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that the distance from W to Y is x miles
Distance from W to X is 70 % of x =0.7*x
Given distance from X to Y is 15 miles.
x-15=0.7x
x-0.7x=15
0.3x=15
x=15/0.3
x=50miles
Thus the distance from W to Y is 50 miles and the distance from W to X is 50-15=35 miles
<span>2√(x-5) = 2
</span><span>√(x-5) = 1
</span>x-5 = 1
x=6(I don't know what extraneous solution means though)
Answer: 40%
=========================================
Work Shown:
"given that it's a senior" is an important piece of info that tells us to only focus on the "seniors" column. The word "given" is an indication that we know this information 100%
There are 5 seniors (2+3 = 5) and 2 of them are male. So 2/5 = 0.40 = 40% of the seniors are male. The probability of selecting a male, if we know this person is a senior, is 40%
