Answer:

40 years and 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the father's age be y and son's age x

Father is currently twice son's age i.e 2x

16 years ago, the son was (x-16) years old

the father was (y-16) or (2x-16) years old.........(i)

The second sentence states that the father was 6 times his sons age 16 years ago i.e 6(x-16)yrs old.............(ii)

Equating (i) to (II) gives 2x-16 = 6(x-16)

2x-16 = 6x-96

Collecting like terms, 96-16 = 6x-2x, 80 = 4x, x = 20

Therefore, son's age is 20years and fathers age is twice son's age = 40 years

Which matrix represents the system of equations shown below? 2x-y=-6 and x-6y=13​
dezoksy [38]

Answer: D

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The first matrix contains the coefficients of the x- and y- values for both equations (top row is the top equation and the bottom row is the bottom equation. The second matrix contains what each equation is equal to.

\begin{array}{c}2x-y\\x-6y\end{array}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad \left[\begin{array}{cc}2&-1\\1&-6\end{array}\right] \\\\\\\begin{array}{c}-6\\13\end{array}\qquad \rightarrow \qquad \left[\begin{array}{c}-6\\13\end{array}\right]

The product will result in the solution for the x- and y-values of the system.

The owner of a large restaurant is considering a new “no tipping” policy and wants to survey a sample of employees. The policy w
Stolb23 [73]

A) The strata to be used in this survey by the employer is; <em><u>Type of Staff</u></em>

B) <em>Stratified Random Sampling</em> will be preferred because the opinions of <em><u>the staffs on the tipping policy</u></em> may be the same within each type but differ across the different <u><em>types of staffs.</em></u>

  • A stratified random sampling is a type of sampling that divides a population into groups known as strata.

Now, from the question, we see that after adding a 20% to the cost of food and beverages, that the additional revenue will be distributed equally among the kitchen and server staffs.

This means the strata here will be the type of staff because the opinions of the staffs on the tipping policy may be the within each type but differ across both types of staffs.
