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

1. Both are corresponding angles, hence they both are equal, so,

44x + 2 = 45x \\  =  > 2 = 45x - 44x \\  =  > 2 = x \\  =  > x = 2

Ans. C) 2

2. They both are in interior corressponding, hence their sum is equal to 180°, so,

10x + 6 + 104 = 180 \\  =  > 10x + 110 = 180 \\  =  > 10x = 180 - 110 \\  =  > 10x = 70 \\  =  > x =  \frac{70}{10}  \\  =  > x = 7

Ans. D) 7

3. They both are in interior corressponding, hence their sum is equal to 180°, so,

x + 75 + x + 125 = 180 \\  =  > 2x + 200 = 180 \\  =  > 2x = 180 - 200 \\  =  > 2 x =  - 20 \\  =  > x =  \frac{ - 20}{2}  \\  =  >  x =  - 10

Ans. A) -10

4. Both are corresponding angles, hence they both are equal, so,

12x + 3 = 11x + 9 \\  =  > 12x - 11x = 9 - 3 \\  =  > x = 6

Ans. A) 6

Which graph represents the function f(x)=4*3^x (f times x equals 4 times three to the power of x)
pychu [463]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the first graph in the second line.

Step-by-step explanation:

First graph in the first line: it shows a positive graph that intercepts the y-axis in 5, then this graph is not the correct answer.

Second graph in the first line: it shows a negative graph, this option is incorrect, we look for a positive graph.

First graph in the second line: is correct because is a positive graph and intercpts the y-axis in 4.

Second graph in the second line: is incorrect although it is a positive graph, it intercepts the y-axis in 3.

10&gt;29-3b Please help and explain your answer I will mark Brainlyest
Marta_Voda [28]
Step 1 , switch sides - 29-3b<10
step 2 , subtract 29 from both sides - -3b< -19
step 3 , multiply both sides by -1 - 3b > 19
step 4 (answer) - divide by 3 = 19/3
