There are 36 dogs in the shelter.

<h3>How to find the total number of dogs in the shelter?</h3>

The ratio of dogs to cats in the shelter is given as 9:15.

The total number of dogs and cats is given as 96.

Let the constant of proportionality be x.

The total number of dogs is 9x and the total number of cats is 15x.

This means that:

9x + 15x = 96

24x = 96

x = 4.

The total number of dogs in the shelter = 9 × 4

= 36

Therefore, we have found that there are 36 dogs in the shelter.

The center of a circle is at (−3, 1) and its radius is 9. What is the equation of the circle?

jek_recluse [69]

If a circle has center (a,b) and radius r, the equation is

$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$

So, you have

$(x+3)^2+(y-1)^2=81$

Answer:

Surface area of the cube = $150\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given shape in figure 1:

Cube with edge length = 5 cm

To find the surface area of the cube.

Solution:

The surface area of a cube is given by the formula:

$Surface\ Area = 6a^2$

where $a$ represents the length of the edges of the cube.

For the given cube $a=5\ cm$

Plugging $a=5\ cm$ in the formula to find the surface area of the cube.

$Surface\ Area = 6(5)^2$

∴ $Surface\ Area = 6\times 25 = 150\ cm^2$

On your own paper graph each system of equations and then describe it: y=x+4 3x+5y=10

ki77a [65]

Each equation form a straight slanting line. For the first equation, it is slanting towards the right which denotes that it has a positive slope. For the the second equation, its plot is slanting towards the left denoting that its slope is negative. Common to both equation is the point (-1.25, 2.75). At this point, the two lines intersect.

Where does a hole occur in the graph of y = x(x+2) / x(x-3)

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = $\frac{x(x+2)}{x(x-3)}$ ← cancel x on numerator/ denominator

= $\frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Cancelling the factor x, leaves a hole in the graph at x = 0
