Try this:
1. sum of numbers is x+y=67, the difference between them is x-y=11
2. it is possible to make up and resolve the system:
Answer: 10, 11, & 12
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the age of the youngest child.
Their ages are consecutive so,
Youngest: x
Middle: x + 1
Oldest: x + 2
The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.
x² = 8(x + 2) + 4
x² = 8x + 16 + 4
x² = 8x + 20
x² - 8x - 20 = 0
(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0
x - 10 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 10 or x = -2
Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid
So, the Youngest (x) is 10
the Middle (x + 1) is 11
and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12
We see from the attached, that kite area = product of the diagonals / 2
The diagonals could be 12 by 8 or
6 by 16 or
3 by 32, etc
It cannot be narrowed down any further.
answer:
△JKI ≅ △CED
step-by-step explanation:
- like i mentioned before, they look similar and fulfill the SSS triangle theorem (this time's the theorem is different only)
Answer:
It is an unusual result contradicting the national survey.
Step-by-step explanation:
National survey showed 44% of college students who drink.
The professor's survey showed that 96/244 = 39% drink.
The professor's survey deviated from the national survey is 5% (44% - 39%) representing about 0.25% (5% squared) variance.
Standard deviation is the spread of a set of numbers from their mean. In other words, it measures how far an observed value is from the mean. It can be calculated by getting the square root of the variance.
