You can not "solve" this, so to speak, rather simplify this expression. Take the "2" and multiply that by the "a" and the "3" in the parentheses. You will then have the simplified answer of: 2a times 6.
Hope that helps!
The is a 50% chance of being a boy or a girl.....previous siblings do not matter. Every child is an independent event. So even if u had 2 siblings that were boys, the result of the next one being a boy is still gonna be 50%...just as the odds of it being a girl, is 50% as well.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(4+1)/(8-2)= 5/6
y + 1 = 5/6(x - 2)
y + 1 = 5/6x - 5/3
y + 3/3 = 5/6x - 5/3
y = 5/6x - 8/3
6(y = 5/6x - 8/3)
6y = 5x - 16
-5x + 6y = -16
Answer:
a) x = 5
b) x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 
= 9.5
3x+4 = 9.5(2)
3x = 19-4
x = 15/3
x = 5
b) 
= 5
7+2x = 5(3)
2x = 15-7
x = 8/2
x=4
Answer:
2.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...
distance = speed × time
We can define t to be Stanley's swimming time. Then t+0.5 was his running time, and 2(t+0.5) was his biking time. His total distance covered is ...
64 = 9(t +0.5) +16(2(t +0.5)) +2.5(t)
64 = 43.5t +20.5 . . . . . . . simplify
43.5 = 43.5t . . . . . . . . . subtract 20.5
t = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t
Stanley swam for 1 hour, so the distance he covered while swimming was ...
(2.5 mi/h)(1 h) = 2.5 mi
Stanley covered 2.5 miles while swimming.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Stanley ran for 1.5 hours, covering 9×1.5 = 13.5 miles. He biked for 3 hours, covering 16×3 = 48 miles. His total distance was 2.5 +13.5 +48 = 64 miles, as given.
