Let us say that the numbers are x and y. The given clues are:

1. x – y = 16         (so x is the larger number)

2. y / x = 5 / 7

 

rewriting eqtn 2 in terms of y:

y = (5/7) x

 

combining 1 and 2:

x – (5/7) x = 16

(2/7) x = 16

x = 56

 

y = (5/7) x = 40

 

So the two numbers are 56 and 40.

Bill and Pete shared 1/2 of a cake. Bill got to eat twice as much cake as Pete. What fraction of the whole cake did Bill eat?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cake shared=1/2

Pete share=x

Bill= twice as much as Pete

=2x

Pete's share+ Bill's share=total share

x+2x=1/2

3x=1/2

x=1/2÷3

x=1/2×1/3

=1/6

Pete's share=x=1/6

Bill's share=2x

=2(1/6)

=2/6

=1/3

The function y = x2 is transformed to y = (x + 4)2. Which statement is true about the transformed function? It is an even functi
xxMikexx [17]
Even function: f(-x) = f(x). If you replace x by -x you should find the same function.
Odd function: f(-x) = -f(x). If you replace x by -x you  find the same function with opposite sign;
Is f(-x) = f(x)?
f(x) = (x+4)² =  x² + 8x +16
f(-x) = (-x+4)² = x² - 8x + 16, then it's not an even function

Is f(-x) = -f(x)?
f(-x) = (-x+4)² = x² + 8x + 16 , then it's not an odd function
It is neither an even nor an odd function
