Answer:

Jordans' age = 31 ; Anna's age = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations relating their ages

J + A = 50 → (1)

J = 12 + A → (2)

Substitute J = 12 + A into (1)

12 + A + A = 50

12 + 2A = 50 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

2A = 38 ( divide both sides by 2 )

A = 19

Substitute A = 19 into (2)

J = 12 + 19 = 31

Then Jordans' age = 31 ; Anna's age = 19

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

J = 12 + A equation 1

J + A = 50 equation 2

Solving equation 2

J + A = 50

A = 50 - J equation 3

Putting value of A in equation 1

J = 12 + A

J = 12 + 50 - J

Bringing like terms on one side

J + J = 12 + 50

2J = 62

J = 62/2 = 31

Putting value of J in equation 3

A = 50 - J

A = 50 - 31 = 19

Checking answer by putting values in equation 2

J + A = 50

31 + 19 = 50

50 = 50

So the age of Jordan is 31 and Anna is 19

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is the perimeter of the figure shown on the coordinate plane?

densk [106]

You can look at those dots, for example, you see (2,8) and (2,2) then look at y and the difference is 6. so if you see it like that, (2,8) and (5,8) is 3, (5,8) and (5,4) would be 4, (5,4) and (8,4) would be 3, (8,4) and (8,2) would be 2, and lastly (2,2) and (8,2) is 6
Now you add all of them up which will be 6+3+4+3+2+6 = 24
so the perimeter of this figure is 24<span />

The number of typing errors made by a typist has a Poisson distribution with an average of two errors per page. If more than two

wlad13 [49]

Answer: 0.6767

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mean = $\lambda=2$ errors per page

Let X be the number of errors in a particular page.

The formula to calculate the Poisson distribution is given by :_

$P(X=x)=\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^x}{x!}$

Now, the probability that a randomly selected page does not need to be retyped is given by :-

$P(X\leq2)=P(0)+P(1)+P(2)\\\\=(\dfrac{e^{-2}2^0}{0!}+\dfrac{e^{-2}2^1}{1!}+\dfrac{e^{-2}2^2}{2!})\\\\=0.135335283237+0.270670566473+0.270670566473\\\\=0.676676416183\approx0.6767$

Hence, the required probability :- 0.6767

An aquarium with a square base has no top. There is a metal frame. Glass costs 8 dollars/m^2 and the frame costs 7 dollars/m. Th

Irina-Kira [14]

Given that the volume of the aquarium is 20m^3.

Volume = Area of Base x height

Area of Base = Volume / height = 20/h

Given that the aquarium has a square base.

Area of square = l^2

Thus, the length of the base of the aquarium is $\sqrt{area \ of \ base} = \sqrt{ \frac{20}{h} }$

The frame is to cover 8 sides with the length equal to the length of the base and 4 sides with the length of the height.

Thus, the total perimeter of the frame is given by $8\sqrt{\frac{20}{h}}+4h= \sqrt{64\left(\frac{20}{h}\right)}+4h = \sqrt{\frac{1,280}{h}}+4h$

Area of the four side faces of the aquarium is 4 times the length of the base times the height = $4\times\sqrt{ \frac{20}{h} }\times h=\sqrt{16\left(\frac{20}{h}\right)h^2}=\sqrt{320h}$

Total area to be covered by grass is the base and the four side faces and is given by $\frac{20}{h}+\sqrt{320h}$

Cost of the entire metal frame = $7\left(\sqrt{\frac{1,280}{h}}+4h\right)= \sqrt{49\left(\frac{1,280}{h}\right)}+7(4h) = \sqrt{\frac{62,720}{h}}+28h$

Cost of the entire grass = $8\left(\frac{20}{h}+\sqrt{320h}\right)=\frac{160}{h}+\sqrt{64(320h)}=\frac{160}{h}+\sqrt{20,480h$

Therefore, total cost in terms of the height, h, is given by

$C=\sqrt{\frac{62,720}{h}}+28h+\frac{160}{h}+\sqrt{20,480h$
