Let us say that:

x = age of Melanie

y = age of Bill = 5

We are given that:

x = 2 y + 2

Solving for x by substituting the value of y:

x = 2 * 5 + 2

x = 10 + 2

x = 12

<span>So Melanie is 12 years old.</span>

You are going to draw two candy bars from a large bag containing 28 snickers bars and 5 twix bars. what is the probability that

amm1812

Find the probability of drawing 1 snicker first then the probability of drawing another snicker after that, then multiply them together. For the first choice, the probability of drawing a Snickers is 28/33 (snickers/total candy bars). For the second choice, there are only 32 candy bars left, 27 of which are Snickers. So that probability is 27/32, so...
The probability of BOTH things happening is their product 756/1,056 which is 63:88

The measure of angle xx is 25 more than 4 times the measure of its complement. Find the measure of xx.

marishachu [46]

The complement is what adds to an angle to get 90 degrees

so

x is 25 mroe than 4 times y
x+y=90

x=25+4y
sub 25+4y for x

25+4y+y=90
25+5y=90
minus 25 both sides
5y=65
divide both sides by 5
y=13

sub back
x+y=80
x+13=90
x=77 degrees

Use calculus to find the volume of the following solid S S : The base of S is a circular disk with radius r. Parallel cross-sect

choli [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is: A = 1/2 bh V = integral A(x) from [-r, r].

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 +y^2 = r^2 A = 1/2 bh b = 2y = 2sqrt[r^2 - x^2] so that gives A = 1/2 [ 2sqrt(r^2 - x^2)]h which gives A = sqrt[r^2 - x^2]h
