Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

       Let <em>g </em>be Gabrielle's age and <em>m </em>be Mikhail's age.

       We can turn the statements the problem gives us into mathematical expressions to help us solve.

       Gabrielle's age is two times Mikhail's age:

                      <em>g </em>= 2<em>m</em>

       The sum of their ages is 81:

                      <em>g </em>+ <em>m </em>= 81

       This gives us a system of equations that will allow us to solve for Gabrielle's age.

<em>g </em>+ <em>m </em>= 81

(2<em>m</em>)<em> </em>+ <em>m </em>= 81

3<em>m </em>= 81

<em>m</em> = \frac{81}{3}

<em>m </em>= 27

       If we need to solve for Gabrielle's age, we can do the following.

<em>g </em>= 2<em>m</em>

2(27)<em> </em>= <em>g</em>

54 = <em>g</em>

g = 54

Mikhail's age is 27.

Gabrielle's age is 54.

Answer:

Mikhail is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Use 'm' to represent Mikhail's age
  • Use g = 2m to represent Gabrielle's age (because Gabrielle's age is twice that of Mikhail's.
  • You know that both of their ages combined must equal 81. This can be represented by g + m = 81
  • Lastly, since we stated g=2m, substitute it into the equation to make: 2m + m = 81
  • Combine like variables and divide to get Mikhail's age.

**If you want to find Gabrielle's age, multiply Mikhail's age by two, as represented by the equation g=2m. Gabrielle is 57.

Hope this helps!

Explain what is the difference between the solutions to 2x=10 and 2x &gt; 10
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

Explain what is the difference between the solutions to 2x=10 and 2x > 10

Given the equations;

2x  = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

For the equation 2x > 10

x > 10/2

x > 5

The first equation has only one solution which is 5 while the second equation has infinite number of solutions since the values of x can take any value that is greater than 5

What does mean absolute deviation (MAD) measure? Explain how to find the MAD for a set of data.
BigorU [14]
Mean Absolute Deviation is a quantity of measurement that gives you an idea how far, on average, are the data points deviating from the mean. Its equation is

MAD = ∑|x - μ| /  N, where

x is a single data point
μ is the mean of the data set
N is the total number of data points

Suppose, a data set consist of the following: 4, 7, 5, 9, 6, 7, 7, 4. Let's solve first for the mean:

μ = (4+7+5+9+6+7+7+4)/8 = 6.125

Then, the MAD is equal to:

MAD = (|4 - 6.125| + |7 - 6.125| +|5 - 6.125| +|9 - 6.125| +|6 - 6.125| +|7 - 6.125| +|7 - 6.125| +|4 - 6.125|) ÷ 8
MAD = 11/8
MAD = 1.375

Help Pls Asap!! Dont really understand the question
PolarNik [594]

Answer: B (the lower one)

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's solve for y.

x + 2y = 4

2y = -x + 4

y = -1/2x + 2

It is B since the y intercept for that graph is 2.
