                          Jenna's age                   Jessica's age

today                         x                               x + 5


in 5 years                 x+5 

5 years ago                                                   x + 5 - 5


Equality                  x + 5 = x + 5 - 5

=> x + 5 = x


The equation is x + 5 = x


That equation has not any solution, because it reduces to 5 = 0, which is an absurd.


So, the conclusion is that information given by Jenna is wrong.


It is logical: if the difference of the ages is 5, in five years Jenna will have 10 years more than what her sister had 5 years ago, no 5 as she told Jessica.

HJ is twice JK. J is between H and K. If HJ= 4x and HK=78, find Jk.
ss7ja [257]
You'll find it easier to understand if you illustrate the problem as what is shown in the attached picture. From the illustration and the problem description, two equations can be formulated:

HJ = 2JK
HJ + JK = HK

2JK + JK = 78
3JK = 78
JK = 78/3
JK = 26

Answer:

a) P(X<50)=0.9827

b) P(X>47)=0.4321

c) P(-1.5<z<1.5)=0.8664

Step-by-step explanation:

We will calculate the probability based on a random sample of one moped out of the population, normally distributed with mean 46.7 and standard deviation 1.75.

a) This means we have to calculate P(x<50).

We will calculate the z-score and then calculate the probability accordign to the standard normal distribution:

z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{50-46.7}{1.75}=\dfrac{3.7}{1.75}=2.114\\\\\\P(X

b) We have to calculatee P(x>47).

We will calculate the z-score and then calculate the probability accordign to the standard normal distribution:

z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{47-46.7}{1.75}=\dfrac{0.3}{1.75}=0.171\\\\\\P(X>47)=P(z>0.171)=0.4321

c) If the value differs 1.5 standard deviations from the mean value, we have a z-score of z=1.5

z=\dfrac{(\mu+1.5\sigma)-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{1.5\sigma}{\sigma}=1.5

So the probability that maximum speed differs from the mean value by at most 1.5 standard deviations is P(-1.5<z<1.5):

P(-1.5

On an algebra test, the highest grade was 42 points higher than the lowest grade. The sum of the two grades was 138. Find the lo
miv72 [106K]


you could use this equation to help you solve it;

x + (x + 42) = 138

the first step is to combine like terms;

2x = 138 -42

2x = 96

X = 96/2

X = 48

we already solved for x now substitute it in the equation I gave you.

48 + (48 + 42) = 138

48 + 90 = 138

hope it helped...if you have any concerns just let me know:)
