Answer: 19 birds were at the shelter on Wednesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of birds that were at the shelter on Wednesday.

Let y represent the number of birds that were at the shelter on Wednesday.

Nicole found a record showing that there were a total of 40 birds and cats on Wednesday. This means that

x + y = 40

The animal shelter spends $5.50 per day to care for each bird and $8.50 per day to care for each cat. Nicole noticed that the shelter spent $283.00 caring for birds and cats on Wednesday. This means that

5.5x + 8.5y = 283 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes

5.5(40 - y) + 8.5y = 283

220 - 5.5y + 8.5y = 283

- 5.5y + 8.5y = 283 - 220

3y = 63

y = 63/3 = 21

x = 40 - y = 40 - 21

x = 19

If f(x) = x2 + 7x and g(x) = 3x - 1, what is f(g(x))?
Burka [1]

Answer:

f(g(x)) = 9x^2 + 15x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are using function g(x) = 3x - 1 as the input to function f(x) = x^2 + 7x.

Starting with f(x) = x^2 + 7x, substitute g(x) for x on the left side and likewise substitute x^2 + 7x for each x on the right side.  We obtain:

f(g(x)) = (3x - 1)^2 + 7(3x - 1).

If we multiply this out, we get:

f(g(x)) = 9x^2 - 6x + 1 + 21x - 7, or

f(g(x)) = 9x^2 + 15x - 6
