The lost pair of weight can be found by subtracting the a known pair from

the total weight leaving the value of the lost pair.

<u>The lost weight of a pair of boys is 120 kg</u>

Reasons:

Let <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, <em>c</em>, and <em>d</em><em> </em>represent the weights of the four boys, we have;

The number of ways of selecting pairs (two boys) of boys from a group of

four is given using combination formula as follows;

_nC_r = \dfrac{n!}{r! \cdot (n - r)!}

Which gives;

_4C_2 = \dfrac{4!}{2! \cdot (4 - 2)!} = 6

₄C₂ = 6

Therefore, the weights of the pairs are;

a + b = 110

a + c = 112

a + d = 113

b + c = 118

b + d = 121

c + d = Lost weight

  • c + d = Lost weight

a + b + c + d = 230 (given)

Therefore;

The lost weight, c + d = 230 - (a + b)

Which gives;

c + d = 230 - (110) = 120

The lost weight = c + d = 120

  • <u>The lost weight = 120 kg</u>

Answer:

116

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use variables

a+b=110

a+c=112

a+d=113

b+c=118

b+d=121

add up the weights and you get 574 kg (you need to find c+d)

3a+3b+2c+2d=574

a+b+c+d = 230 as given then you multiply by 3 so you can cancel out 3a and 3b and subtract 690-574 because we multiplied by 3

you are left with c+d=116

Answer:

x > 60

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

An arrow starting with a hollow circle from x = 60, directing towards positive numbers (greater than 60).

So, hollow circle will represent an inequality with no sign of 'equal to' and arrow will represent the sign of greater than (As moving ahead of 60).

Inequality representing the picture will be,

x > 60

The sum of two numbers is 60 and the difference is 2 what are the numbers.
oksian1 [2.3K]
Let the two numbers be x and y
Then
x + y = 60
And
x - y = 2
x = y + 2
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
y + 2 + y= 60
2y + 2 = 60
2y = 60 - 2
2y = 58
y = 58/2
y = 29
Now putting the value of y in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
x + 29 = 60
x = 60 - 29
x = 31
So the value of the two numbers comes out to be 31 and 29. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

How is domain of the function f(x)=sinx restricted so that its inverse function exists?
Virty [35]

Answer:

Correct answer:  sin x ⇒D(x) :  [- π/2, π/2] ; sin⁻¹x ⇒ CD(x) :  [- π/2, π/2]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the function sin x to have an inverse function sin⁻¹x due to the monotony, the domain is taken D(x) :  [- π/2, π/2] and the range of sin⁻¹x  is CD(x) :  [- π/2, π/2].
