The sum of the ages of Kristen and Ben is 32. Four years ago Kristen was twice as old as Ben. How old are they both now?
Elan Coil [88]

Let us say that:

K = age of Kristen

B = age of Ben

 

From the problem, we make the equations:

eqtn 1: K + B = 32

eqtn 2: (K – 4) = 2 (B – 4)

 

Simplifying eqtn 2:

K – 4 = 2 B – 8

K = 2 B – 4

 

Plugging in this to eqtn 2:

(2 B – 4) + B = 32

3 B – 4 = 32

3 B = 36

B = 12

 

From eqtn 2:

K = 2 B – 4 = 2 (12) – 4 = 20

 

So Kristen is 20 while Ben is 12.

A surgical procedure requires choosing among four alternative methodologies. The first can result in five possible outcomes, the
Illusion [34]

Answer:

15 possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each one of these methodologies are not related to one another and they do not need to be chosen in any order or consecutively then the possible outcomes would only need to be added all together to calculate the total possible outcomes. Since each outcome is independent. Therefore,

m1 = 5 outcomes

m2 = 2 outcomes

m3 = 4 outcomes

m4 = 4 outcomes

5 + 2 + 4 + 4 = 15

we can see that there are a total of 15 possible outcomes
