5. Paul is x years old.
Rebecca is four times older than Paul.
Gemma is 10 years older than Paul.
the sum of their ages is 82 Years.
(a) Form a simplified equation in terms of x
(b) Solve the equation and work out each persons age.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  A) The equation will be     x + 4x + x + 10 = 82   B) Paul's age is 12, Rebecca's age is 48  and Gemma's age is 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will represent Paul's age by    the equation  p= x  where p is Paul

We will represent Rebecca's age by the equation  r = 4x  Where r is Rebecca

We will represent Gemma's age by the equation g = x + 10  where g is also Gemma's age.

We given that the sum of their ages is 82 years so meaning that  x + 4x + x + 10  has to equal 82.

A) The equation will be     x + 4x + x + 10 = 82  

Solve for the x equation to find Paul age because his age is x.

B)  (x) + (4x) + (x+10) = 82   combine like terms on the left side

    6x + 10 = 82

           -10    -10

   6x = 72

   x= 12  

Paul age is 12.  

r= 4(12)

r = 48

Rebecca's age is 48.

g= 12 +10

g= 22

Gemma's age is 22.

3.For many years in the U.S, each bank printed its own currency. The variety of different bills led to widespread counterfeiting. By the time of the Civil War, a significant fraction of the currency in circulation was counterfeit. If one soldier had 48 bills, 16 of which were counterfeit, and another soldier had 39 bills, 13 of which were counterfeit, make a conjecture about what fraction of bills were counterfeit at the time of the Civil War.

Answers

Answer:

1.   [tex]n: n^3 > 0[/tex] is not true for negative integers

2.  [tex]45\ and\ 45[/tex] show that all angles do not have different measure

3.  [tex]Fraction = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (1):

[tex]n: n^3 > 0[/tex]

Take

[tex]n = -1[/tex]

[tex]-1^3 = -1[/tex]

[tex]n: n^3 > 0[/tex] is not true for negative integers

Solving (2):

The angles of a right angled triangle are:

[tex]45, 45\ and\ 90[/tex]

[tex]45\ and\ 45[/tex] show that all angles do not have different measure

Solving (3):

When

[tex]Bills = 48[/tex]

[tex]Counterfeit = 16[/tex]

The fraction is calculated as thus:

[tex]Fraction = \frac{Counterfeit}{Bills}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{16}{48}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Similarly, when

[tex]Bills = 39[/tex]

[tex]Counterfeit = 13[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{Counterfeit}{Bills}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{13}{39}[/tex]

[tex]Fraction = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

what is the slope of the line shown below?

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is A because you can tell the line has a negative slope since its going from left to right rather than right to left and then you do rise/run so the rise=2 and the run=3 so the answer for slope would be -2/3

Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find two exact points the use your formula. I used (0,1) and (-3,3).

y2-y1 / x2-x1

Or just use rise over run and count up 2 and across to the left 3 and also realize it's a negative slope going down from the left so your answer will be negative.

Suppose you scored an 80 on a measure where the mean is 65 and the standard deviation is 5. How many standard deviations from the mean is your score

Answers

Answer:

The score is 3 standard deviations from the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we simply calculate the z-score

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

In this question , x = 80

mean = 65

SD = 5

Thus;

z-score = (80-65)/5 = 15/5 = 3

On a coordinate plane, the y-axis is labeled imaginary and the x-axis is labeled real. Point z 1 is (4, negative 3) and point z 2 is (negative 3, 2).

Suppose z3 = z1 – z2.Which quadrant contains z3?

quadrant I
quadrant II
quadrant III
quadrant IV

Answers

The position of z3 is (d) quadrant IV

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{z_1 = (4,-3)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{z_2 = (-3,2)}[/tex]

The expression for z3 is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{z_3 = z_1 -z_2}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{z_3 = (4,-3) - (-3,2)}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{z_3 = (4 + 3,-3 - 2)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{z_3 = (7,-5)}[/tex]

When the x-coordinate is positive, and the y-coordinate is negative, the point is in the fourth quadrant.

Hence, the position of z3 is (d) quadrant IV

Relatives and their stories help people understand their family history. Now learn what historians use to help them understand the past.Understanding the PastESSENTIAL QUESTION What questions do historians ask to help them understand the past?People investigate their family history to find out about their ancestors. In the process, however, they also find out about themselves. We study world history for the same reasons.Why Study History? What has already happened to a person, a family, or asociety affects what will occur today and in the future. But history is much more than simply recounting and studying past events. Examining a historical event also involves studying a societys culture, religion, politics, and economics.When historians examine past events, they try to find patterns. They look for causes and effects that explain how and why events happened. They also try to understand why some ideas and traditions last and why others die out. Just as important, historians attempt to see the past through the eyes of the people who lived it. By doing so, historians gain greater insight into human nature and answer important historical questions.Asking Historical Questions As historians study the past, they ask themselves questions like those below. These questions help historians compare different societies and draw conclusions about the past. How have groups or societies interacted, and what have been the results? How have leaders governed societies? How have belief systems developed and changed? How have societies dealt with differences among their people? How have societies tried to protect peoples security? How are societies similar and different?Why do we study history?The Historians ToolsESSENTIAL QUESTION What methods do historians use to help them answer questions about what happened in the past? When you hang up a picture, you use a hammer to pound in the nail. Historians also use tools to do their job. These tools include primary sources, secondary sources, and oral history.Primary Sources A primary source is something written or created by a person who witnessed a historical event. You will learn about an ancient primary source on the next page. Primary sources include letters, diaries, eyewitness articles, videotapes, speeches, and photographs. Artifacts, such as the human-made tools, are also primary sources.loading...How Knowledge of the Past ChangesESSENTIAL QUESTION What steps do historians take as they answer historical questions?Detectives use fingerprints and other evidence to solve crimes. Historians act as detectives too. They use evidence from primary, secondary, and oral sources.Fact or Fiction? Historical evidence isnt always as simple as a bloodstain at a crimescene. Historians sometimes have more information than they can use when they try to answer a question. They must sort through all of the information and choose whats most important and most trustworthy as evidence. In addition, sometimes what historians thought was true turns out to be false. For instance, one historian proved that the so-called mummyscurse was false. According to legend, the curse would kill anyone who entered the tomb of an ancient Egyptian ruler. Many people believed the curse had caused the death of English archaeologist Lord Carnarvon. He died suddenly in 1923, shortly after entering the tombof ancient Egyptian ruler King Tut. People believe that the other archaeologists who had entered the tomb between 1923 and 1926 would also die as a result of the curse. However, a historian later examined the archaeologists death records. Their average age at death was70 years. The evidence did not support the existence of the mummys curse.Drawing Conclusions The mummys curse was easy to disprove. But not all historical questions are so easily answered. Sometimes different historians arrive at different conclusions based on the same facts.Answer the following questions2.
