A school is organizing a cookout where hotdogs will be served. The hotdogs come in small packs and large packs. Each small pack

has 8 hotdogs and each large pack has 18 hotdogs. The school bought 5 more large packs than small packs, which altogether had 142 hotdogs. Determine the number of small packs purchased and the number of large packs purchased.

The number of small packs is 2 and the number of large packs is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

A school is organizing a cookout where hot dogs will be served. The hot dogs come in small packs and large packs

  • Each small pack has 8 hot dogs
  • Each large pack has 18 hot dogs
  • The school bought 5 more large packs than small packs, which altogether had 142 hot dogs

We need to find the number of small packs purchased and the number of large packs purchased

Assume that the number of the small packs is x and the number of the large pack is y

∵ There are x small packs

∵ Each small pack has 8 hot dogs

∵ There are y large packs

∵ Each large pack has 18 hot dogs

∴ The total number of hot dogs in all packs = 8x + 18y

∵ All packs had 142 hot dogs

- Equate the total number of hot doges by 142

∴ 8x + 18y = 142 ⇒ (1)

∵ The school bought 5 more large packs than small packs

∴ y = x + 5 ⇒ (2)

Now we have system of equations to solve it

Substitute y in equation (1) by equation (2)

∴ 8x + 18(x + 5) = 142

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 8x + 18x + 90 = 142

- Add like terms in the left hand side

∴ 26x + 90 = 142

- Subtract 90 from both sides

∴ 26x = 52

- Divide both sides by 26

∴ x = 2

- Substitute the value of x in equation (2) to find y

∵ y = 2 + 5

∴ y = 7

The number of small packs is 2 and the number of large packs is 7

B = 3m + 2p<br> Work out the value of p when B= 2 and m = 5
GarryVolchara [31]

This is called a "substitution problem" is where you have variable that have defined values and plug them in value calculate the expression.

B = 3m + 2p # Starting equation

2 = (3)(5) + 2p # Substitution

2 = 15 + 2p # Multiplication

-13 = 2p # Subtract 15 from both sides

\frac{-13}{2} = p # Divide both sides from 2

p = \frac{-13}{2} # Use the reflexive property of equality

Hope this helps!

Answer: (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x-3}\\\\g(x)=\sqrt{x+5}

Here, \sqrt{x+5}\ \text{is always greater than equal to 0}\\\Rightarrow x+5\geq 0\\\Rightarrow x\geq -5\quad \ldots(i)

To get f\left(g(x)\right), replace x in f(x) by g(x)\ \text{i.e. by}\ \sqrt{x+5}

\Rightarrow f\left(g(x)\right)=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{x+5}-3}\\\\\text{Denominator must not be equal to 0}\\\\\therefore \sqrt{x+5}-3\neq0\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{x+5}\neq 3\\\Rightarrow x+5\neq 9\\\Rightarrow x\neq 4\quad \ldots(ii)

Using (i) and (ii)  it can be concluded that the domain of f\left(g(x)\right) is all real numbers except 0.

Therefore, its domain is given by

x\in [-5,4)\cup (4,\infty)

Option (c) is correct.
