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! :)

If P(A)=0.54 then what value of P(B) the event A and B are complementary event

aleksley [76]

Answer:

P(B) = 0.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability

The complementary event of a given event A is defined as "not A" or the event that A does not occur.

For example, if A is defined as 'getting a job', then the complement of A is 'not getting a job'.

Event A and its complementary event (call it B) must satisfy:

P(A) + P(B) = 1

If we know P(A)=0.54, then

P(B) = 1 - P(A)

P(B) = 1 - 0.54

P(B) = 0.46

Nigel bought 10 pencils and 5 erasers for 8$. The price of 2

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

2 erasers cost $1.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Nigel bought 10 pencils and 5 erasers for $8.

We can write this algebraically:

10p + 5e = 8

We know that the price of 2 pencils is $1. That is $0.50/Pencil.

So, p = $0.50. Now we can plug that into out equation and find the price of one eraser:

10(0.50) + 5e = 8

5 + 5e = 8

5e = 3

e = $0.60

Now, we have the price of one eraser, $0.60, and we can multiply this by 2 to find the price of 2 erasers, which equates to $1.20.

I need help with question a and b

DaniilM [7]

Solving for part A

$f(x) = x^{2} \;\;and\;\; g(x) = \frac{1}{x^{3}} \\\\f(g(x)) = (\frac{1}{x^{3}})^{2} =\frac{1}{x^{6}}$

Domain of composition: x ≠ 0 i.e. Domain is the set of "Real numbers excluding number 0".

Solving for part B

$f(x) = \frac{x}{x-2}\;\;and\;\;g(x) =\frac{3}{x} \\\\f(g(x))=\frac{\frac{3}{x}}{\frac{3}{x}-2}=\frac{\frac{3}{x}}{\frac{3-2x}{x}} =\frac{3}{3-2x}\\\\ Domain:\;3-2x\neq 0 \;\;OR\;\;x\neq \frac{3}{2}$

Someone please explain to me why these aren’t congruent.

o-na [289]

Answer:

There are five different postulates and theorems that determine whether or not two triangles are congruent. These triangles do not fit any of them

Step-by-step explanation:

Side-side-side

Side-angle-side

Angle-side-angle

Angle-angle-side

Hypotenuse-Leg

The sides and angles must be connected in order for the theorem or postulate to apply.

I know it’s confusing, but I hope this helps!!
