Solution By Steps

Step 1: Define Variables

Let’s define the variables:

Let

e represent Mrs. Bee’s age now.

Let

s represent her son’s age now.

Step 2: Translate the First Statement into an Equation

From the first statement, we have:

e = 4s + 6.

Step 3: Translate the Second Statement into an Equation

From the second statement, three years ago, Mrs. Bee was seven times as old as her son. This gives us:

e - 3 = 7(s - 3).

Step 4: Set Up the System of Equations

Combining the two equations, we have the system:

e = 4s + 6

e - 3 = 7(s - 3)

Step 5: Solve the System of Equations

Solve the system of equations to find the values of

e and

s.

Step 6: Determine the Future Ages

Once you have the current ages of Mrs. Bee and her son, you can determine how many years from now Mrs. Bee will be three times as old as her son.

Final Answer

Mrs. Bee’s age now,

e = 49 years.

Her son’s age now,

s = 10 years.

To find when Mrs. Bee will be three times as old as her son, you can set up an equation with

e + x = 3(s + x), where

x represents the number of years from now.

true or false a query can have only one common interpretation

Consider a standard 52 card deck of playing cards. In total there are 13 cards that are Diamonds. The remaining 39 cards are not Diamonds. Suppose that we reduce the number of cards in the deck by removing three of the Diamond cards, removing four other cards that are not Diamond. The cards that are removed are discarded and are not used for the remainder of this question. As such we now have a deck that consists of just 45 cards. We then proceed as follows. A card is randomly chosen from the deck and it is noted whether or not this card is a Diamond. This card is retained and NOT returned to the deck. A second card is then randomly chosen from the deck and once again it is noted whether or not this card is a Diamond. This card is retained and NOT returned to the deck. A third card is then randomly chosen from the deck and once again it is noted whether or not this card is a Diamond. Let D 1 denote the event that the first card chosen is a Diamond, D 2 denote the event that the second card chosen is a Diamond and D 3 denote the event that the third card chosen is a Diamond. (a) What is the probability that none of the cards out of the three chosen are Diamonds ? (b) What is the probability that exactly one of the cards out of three chosen is a Diamond ? (c) What is the probability that at least two of the cards out of the three chosen are Diamonds ?
