Let’s call the numbers x and y. Let’s also say that x is the smaller of the two. Since their difference (the answer you get when you subtract is 44 and a half) we know that y-x=44.5

Next we are told that if the smaller increases 7 times (that means 7x) their difference would be 10 3/14. Let’s write that as a fraction. It is 14x10+3 over 14. That is 143/14.

So this means y-7x=143/14.

We have two equations and two unknowns (a system of equations). We write one over the other and subtract them to get:

y-x=44.5
y-7x=143/14

Subtracting yields:
(y-y)+(-x - - 7x) = 44.5 - 143/14
6x = (89/2) - (143/14)
6x= 623/14 - 143/14
6x=480/14
X= (480/14)(1/6)
X=80/14
x= 40/7 = 5 5/7

Since y-x=89/2
We get y - 40/7 = 89/2
Y = 40/7 + 89/2
Y = 80/14 + 623/14
Y = 703/14 = 50 3/14

Answer:
\frac{x^2 - 5}{4x + 1}, x ≠ -1/4

Explanation:
We are given that:
f (x) = 4x + 1
g(x) = x² - 5

We want to find the value of (g/f)(x). This means that we will simply divide g(x) by f(x) as follows:
( \frac{g}{f} )(x) =  \frac{g(x)}{f(x)} =  \frac{x^2 - 5}{4x + 1}

Now, we should note that any function is undefined if its denominator is equal to zero.
This means that for our current function:
4x + 1 cannot be equal to zero
4x + 1 = 0
4x = -1
x = -1/4
This means that the value of x cannot be -1/4, otherwise, our function would be undefined.

Based on the above, the last option is the correct one.

Hope this helps :)

he conditional relative frequency table was generated using data that compared the cost of one ticket for a performancehe method
ludmilkaskok [199]
The <u>correct answer</u> is:

0.14.

Explanation:

We are asked "Given that Lorenzo paid more than $30 for a ticket, what is the probability that he purchased the ticket at the box office?"

Using the conditional relative frequency table, we start at the column "More than $30".  We then go to the row "Purchased at the Box Office."  The value in this cell is 0.14; this is the probability.

Answer:

  A = {put, the, cake, in, basket}

  B = {is, the, cake, in, basket}

  C = {no, the, cake, in, basket}

  D = { }

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (A -B) ∪ (A∩B) ∪ (A∩C}

A = {put} ∪ {the, cake, in, basket} ∪ {the, cake, in, basket}

A = {put, the, cake, in, basket}

__

B = (B -A) ∪ (B -C) ∪ (B∩A) ∪ (B∩C)

B = {is} ∪ {is} ∪ {the, cake, in, basket} ∪ {the, cake, in, basket}

B = {is, the, cake, in, basket}

__

C = (C -B) ∪ (C∩A) ∪ (C∩B)

C = {no} ∪ {the, cake, in, basket} ∪ {the, cake, in, basket}

C = {no, the, cake, in, basket}

__

D = { } . . . . not defined anywhere
