Answer:

The dog weighs 16 pounds, while the cat weighs 8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the weight of the dog d, and the weight of the cat c.

d+c=24

d=2c

Substitute the second equation into the first:

(2c)+c=24

3c=24

c=8

d=24-8=16

Hope this helps!

Sketch the asymptotes and graph the function y=6/(x-2)+4

lana [24]

There will be a vertical asymptote when the denominator approaches zero. So the vertical asymptote is about the line x=2.

There will be a horizontal asymptote as x approaches ±oo where the y value will approach 4. So the horizontal asymptote is about the line y=4

What are two different way of factoring -3x-9? Select all that apply

Ghella [55]

Options:

A. –3(x + 3)

B. 3(x + 3)

C. 3(–x – 3)

D. –3(x – 3)

Answer:

A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$-3x - 9$

Required

Factorize

The options are not given; So, I'll answer on a general term

$-3x - 9$

Express -9 as -3 * 3

$-3x - 9 = -3x - 3 * 3$

Then factorize 3 out of the expression as:

$-3x - 9 = 3(-x - 3)$

Another way is to factor -3 out of the expression as:

$-3x - 9 = -3x - 3 * 3$

$-3x - 9 = -3(x + 3)$

What is the value of x when the Richter scale rating is 7.9 round your answer to the nearest

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

If no base is stated, then assume base 10
$log(x)=log_{10}(x)$
rememer
$a=log_b(c)$ translates to $b^a=c$

so
$r=log(x)$ or
$r=log_{10}(x)$ translates to $10^r=x$

so when r=7.9, what is x
$10^r=x$
$10^{7.9}=x$
79432823.472428=x
round to nearest ???
thousanth? 79432823.472=x
hundreth? 79432823.47=x
tenth? 79432823.5=x
