Maggie's brother is 5 years younger than twice her age. The sum of their ages is 22.
How old is Maggie?

Answers

Answer 1
Maggie is 9 years old
Answer 2

Answer:

9 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let maggie's age be m,

and let maggie's brother's age be b

b = 2m - 5,

m + b = 22

Substitute "2m - 5" for b in the second equation (substitution)

m + (2m - 5) = 22 -> Remove parenthesis

m + 2m - 5 = 22 -> Combine like terms

3m = 22 + 5 = 27 -> Divide either side by 3

m = 27/3 = 9

Solution: Maggie is 9 years old

A gene is composed of two alleles. An allele can be either dominant or recessive. suppose that a husband and a wife who are both carriers of the sickle-cell anemia allele but do not have the disease, decide to have a child. because both parents are carriers of the disease, each one has a dominant normal cell allele (S), and one recessive sickle-cell allele (s). Therefore the genotype of each parent is Ss. Each parent contributes one allele to his or her offspring with each allele being equally likely.
a.List the possible genotypes of their offspring.
b. what is the probability that the offspring will have sickle cell- genotype ss?
c. what is the probability that the offspring will not have sickle cell but still be a carrier (one normal cell allele and one sickle cell allele)

Answers

Answer:

a) SS, Ss, ss

b) 1/4

c) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this question, a gene coding for possession or not of sickle cell has two alleles. Allele "S" codes for normal cell while allele "s" codes for sickle cell. A heterozygous individual or carrier will have a "Ss" genotype.

If two carriers of the sickle cell condition decide to have a child and mate i.e. Ss × Ss, the following gametes will be produced by each parent: S and s.

a) Using these gametes (S, s) in a punnet square (see attached image), the four possible offsprings with the following genotypes will be produced: SS, Ss and ss in a GENOTYPIC RATIO 1:2:1.

b) Since offsprings with the genotype "ss" will possess the sickle cell condition/phenotype, the probability of offsprings that will have sickle cell is 1/4 i.e. 1 out of 4 possible offsprings

c) Also,carrier genotype will be "Ss", therefore, the probability that the offspring will not have sickle cell but still be a carrier (one normal cell allele and one sickle cell allele) will be 2/4 or 1/2 i.e. 1 out of 2 possible offsprings.

Question 5: What is the equation of the line parallel to x = 7, passing through the point (-4, 1)?
A. X = -4
B. X = 1
C. Y = -4
D. Y = 1

Answers

Answer:

(A) x= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires you to find the equation of the line parallel to x=7

Line x=7 is a vertical line crossing the x-axis at x=7

A vertical line has undefined slope, no slope

However, parallel lines are those that do not meet and has the same slope. This means you should expect that the equation required should also have an undefined slope, slope of zero.

The line will pass through point (-4,1) and be a vertical line.

The equation of the line will be: x= -4

Luna's retirement party will cost $630 if she invites 21 guests. What is the maximum number of guests there can be if Luna can afford to spend a total of $780 on her retirement party? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answers

Answer:

The maximum number of guests for $780 would be 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios.  In the first column write $630/$780; in the right column write 21/x:

 630         21

---------- = -------

  780         x

Cross-multiplying, we get 630x = 21(780), which yields x = 26.

The maximum number of guests for $780 would be 26.

How many pounds of a 15% copper alloy must be mixed with 700lb of a 30% copper alloy to maybe a 25.5% copper alloy

Answers

Answer:

[tex]300\; \rm lb[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] represent the mass (in pounds) of that [tex]15\%[/tex] copper alloy required, such that the final mixture would contain [tex]25.5\%[/tex] copper by mass.

Consider: if [tex]x[/tex] pounds of that [tex]15\%[/tex] copper alloy is mixed with [tex]700[/tex] pounds that [tex]30\%[/tex] copper alloy, what would be the mass of copper in the mixture?

Mass of copper in [tex]x[/tex] pounds of that [tex]15\%[/tex] copper alloy: [tex](0.15\, x)\; \rm lb[/tex].Mass of copper in [tex]700[/tex] pounds of that [tex]30\%[/tex] copper alloy: [tex]700 \times 0.30 = 210\; \rm lb[/tex].

Therefore, the mixture would contain [tex](210 + 0.15\, x) \; \rm lb[/tex] of copper.

The mass of that mixture would be [tex](700 + x)\; \rm lb[/tex]. The mass fraction of copper in that mixture would be:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{(210 + 0.15\, x)\; \rm lb}{(700 + x)\; \rm lb} \times 100\%[/tex].

This ratio is supposed to be equal to [tex]25.5\%[/tex]. These two pieces of equations combine to give an equation about [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{(210 + 0.15\, x)\; \rm lb}{(700 + x)\; \rm lb} \times 100\% = 25.5\%[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{210 + 0.15\, x}{700 + x} = 0.255[/tex].

Simplify and solve for [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]210 + 0.15\, x= 0.255\, (700 + x)[/tex].

[tex](0.255 - 0.15)\, x= 210 - 0.255 \times 700[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{210 - 0.255 \times 700}{0.255 - 0.15} = 300[/tex].

Therefore, [tex]300\; \rm lb[/tex] of that [tex]15\%[/tex] alloy would be required.

What is mean by Triangle?

A triangle is a three sided polygon, which has three vertices and three angles which has the sum 180 degrees.

Given that,

In triangles ΔXYZ and ΔMPN

XY = MP and YZ = PN

XY=23 in. and MN=19 in.

Clearly

XY > MN

⇒ m ∠Y > m ∠P ...( since angle opposite to the greater side is greater )

And m ∠P = 85° ⇒ m ∠Y > 85°

Hence,

option (1) and option (2) are not correct as they are less than 85°.

Option 4 is also not correct as it cannot be possible in a triangle because 180° is the angle of a straight line.

Therefore, Option 3 should be the correct option correct option, 100° is a possible measure for m ∠Y.

A researcher compares the effectiveness of two different instructional methods for teaching electronics. A sample of 138 students using Method 1 produces a testing average of 61. A sample of 156 students using Method 2 produces a testing average of 64.6. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 18.53 for Method 1 and 13.43 for Method 2. Determine the 98% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2. Step 1 of 2: Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval.

Answers

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2 is (-8.04, 0.84).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the difference between population means is:

[tex]CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}}[/tex]

The information provided is as follows:

[tex]n_{1}= 138\\n_{2}=156\\\bar x_{1}=61\\\bar x_{2}=64.6\\\sigma_{1}=18.53\\\sigma_{2}=13.43[/tex]

The critical value of z for 98% confidence level is,

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.02/2}=2.326[/tex]

Compute the 98% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2 as follows:

[tex]CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}}[/tex]

     [tex]=(61-64.6)\pm 2.326\times\sqrt{\frac{(18.53)^{2}}{138}+\frac{(13.43)^{2}}{156}}\\\\=-3.6\pm 4.4404\\\\=(-8.0404, 0.8404)\\\\\approx (-8.04, 0.84)[/tex]

Thus, the 98% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2 is (-8.04, 0.84).

hi! so for 14, you can plug in -11 for every x in the equation.

f(-11)= 15-(-11)

=15+11

=26

your answer is 26.

for 15, we can plug in 0.3 for x.

g(0.3)=-2.5(0.3)-0.1

= -0.75-0.1

= -0.85

your answer is -0.85.

for 16, you can plug in -17 for x.

f(-17)= -(-17)

=17

your answer is 17.

Answer:

14:   26

15: -8.5

16:  17

Step-by-step explanation:

The f(x) basically gives you what x is, as the inside of parenthesis means the value of x. You then can plug in x into the equation for each of the equations. Whenever you get something like 24- (-42) The negatives cancel out and you add the two values together instead.
