ANSWER

Find out the how old was we when he died.

To proof

Let us assume that the age of the Adam be x

As given

Adam lived a quarter of his life as a boy as fifth as a young man, a third in middle-age and 13 years in retirement.

x =\frac{x}{4} +\frac{x}{5} +\frac{x}{3} + 13

L.C.M of denominator i.e ( 4,5,3) =60

than the equation becomes

60x = 15x + 12x +20x +780

60x - 47x = 780

13x = 780

x =\frac{780}{13}

x = 60 years

therefore the Adam age  when he died is 60 years.

Hence proved

Fabio and Carlos play on a basketball team together. In the last game, Fabio had 777 points less than 222 times as many points a
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

2c-7=31

c=19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of points Carlos had=c

2 times as many points as Carlos=2c

In the last game, Fabio had 7 points less than 2 times as many points as Carlos.

Fabio's point in the last game=2c-7

Since Fabio Scored 31 points in the last game,

2c-7=31

Thus is the equation to determine the number of points Carlos scored.

Next, we solve for the number of points Carlos had.

2c-7=31

2c=31+7

2c=38

c=19

Carlos had 19 points in the last game.

A newsletter publisher believes that 55% of their readers own a Rolls Royce. Is there sufficient evidence at the 0.05 level to r
melomori [17]

Set up hypotheses:

The null hypotheses is that the proportion of readers who own a Rolls Royce is equal to 0.55

Null hypotheses = H₀: p = 0.55

The alternate hypotheses is that the proportion of readers who own a Rolls Royce is not equal to 0.55

Alternate hypotheses = H₁: p ≠ 0.55

Determine the  type of test:

Since the alternate hypothesis states that the proportion of readers who own a Rolls Royce is different, therefore it is a two-tailed test.

Determine the level of significance and Critical Z-score:

Given level of significance = 0.05

Since it is a two-tailed test,

Z-score = 1.960 (two tailed)

Set up decision rule:

Since it is a two-tailed test, using a Z statistic at a significance level of 5%

We Reject H₀ if Z < -1.960 or Z > 1.960

We Reject H₀ if p ≤ α

Compute the test statistic:

The test statistic may be calculated using,

$ Z =  \frac{\hat{p} - p}{ \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }}  $

We are not given enough information to find out the test statistic.

Conclusion:

We do not have enough information to accept or refuse the publisher's claim.

The function C(t) below relates outside temperature in degrees Fahrenheit to the number of cricket chirps per minute. It takes a
vekshin1
T is a linear function of C  ==>  T = mC + b     Each additional chirp C corresponds to an increase in T of 0.25  ==>  m = 0.25    T = 52 when C = 20  ==>  52 = 0.25(20) + b  ==>  b = 52 - 5 = 47   So T = 0.25C + 47    When C = 100 then T = 0.25(100) + 47 = 25 + 47 = 72   When C = 120 then T = 0.25(120) + 47 = 30 + 47 = 77 so the temperature range is between 72 and 77 when there are between 100 and 120 chirps per minute

Why would someone choose to use a graphing calculator to solve a system of linear equations instead of graphing by hand? Explain
anygoal [31]
In addition, from the response shown, using a graphical calculator brings the following benefits:
 1) You can write the system of linear equations as big as you want. This is: systems 3 * 3, 4 * 4, 5 * 5.
 2) The response to systems of equations greater than 2 * 2 can be complicated when you graph the solution, therefore, the graphing calculator can be much more efficient in these cases.
 3) You can write the linear equations in any way. Resolving by hand you should probably rewrite the system of equations to find the solution.
