There are two unknowns in this problem. To start, let's assign variables to each of them. Let x be the age of Jacob and y be the age of Isaiah. Then, we formulate equations based on the relationships stated.

x = 7 + y   --> eqn 1
x + y = 63  --> eqn 2

Substituting eqn 1 to eqn 2, then solve for x and y:

(7+y)+y = 63
7 + 2y = 63
2y = 63 - 7
2y = 56
y = 56/2
y = 28
x = 28 + 7 = 35

Therefore, Jacob is 35 years old, and Isaiah is 28 years old.

The central angle of a circle is equal in measure to one radian when the corresponding arc length is equal to which of the follo
irinina [24]
The formula to find the arc length L is
L = r*theta
where r is the radius and theta is the central angle in radians (this formula will not work if theta is in degrees)

If the central angle is 1 radian, then theta = 1 and
L = r*theta
L = r*1
L = r
So the arc length is the same as the radius

Answer: Choice A) The radius of the circle

probability of not drawing a yellow or a green : (12 + 18) / 100 = 30/100 reduces to 3/10 or 30%

probability of drawing a red or green : (18 + 28) / 100 = 46/100 reduces to
