C= number of crickets
g= number of grasshoppers= twice number of crickets= 2c
T= total number of both= 561

If you add the number of crickets and the number if grasshoppers, you'll get a total of 561.

c + g= T
c + g= 561

Now we also know that grasshoppers are 2c (twice the crickets). Substitute 2c for g in the equation to solve for c.

c + g= 561
c + 2c= 561
combine like terms
3c= 561
divide both sides by 3
c= 187 crickets

Substitute number of crickets back in equation to find g.

c + g= 561
187 + g= 561
subtract 187 from both sides
g= 374 grasshoppers

CHECK:
Since grasshoppers are twice the number of crickets, then multiplying the number of crickets by two should equal the number of grasshoppers.
187 * 2= 374
374= 374

ANSWER: 187 crickets and 374 grasshoppers

Hope this helps! :)

steve has 500 more marbles than richard at first. he gives 300 marbles to richard. who has more marbles now, and by how many?

Yakvenalex [24]

Steve has x+500 marbles
richard has x marbles

if steve gives richard 300 marbles then
x+500-300 x+300
so x+200 and x+300
richard has more and by 100

Differentiation with respect to time

Derivative Rule [Product Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [f(x)g(x)]=f'(x)g(x) + g'(x)f(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$\displaystyle l = 10 \ meters$

$\displaystyle \frac{dl}{dt} = 4 \ m/day$

$\displaystyle w = 23 \ meters$

$\displaystyle \frac{dw}{dt} = 1 \ m/day$

Step 2: Differentiate

[Area of Rectangle] Product Rule: $\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt} = l\frac{dw}{dt} + w\frac{dl}{dt}$

Step 3: Solve

[Rate] Substitute in variables [Derivative]: $\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt} = (10 \ m)(1 \ m/day) + (23 \ m)(4 \ m/day)$
[Rate] Multiply: $\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt} = 10 \ m^2/day + 92 \ m^2/day$
[Rate] Add: $\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt} = 102 \ m^2/day$

If SU and VX are parallel lines and mUTW = 131°, what is mVWT?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

∠VWT = 131°

Explanation:

∠VWT is equal to ∠UTW because they are Alternate inner angles. Since they are equal, we know that the measure of ∠VWT is 131°.
