Answer:

Total number of squirrels in the area are 3750.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, total number of squirrels = x

We are given that,

Number of squirrels tagged = 150

After six weeks, we have,

Number of squirrels caught = 200

Number of squirrels tagged out of 200 = 12

Then, we have the relation between squirrels tagged and total number of squirrels is \dfrac{12}{300}=\dfrac{150}{x}

Upon solving, we have,

\dfrac{12}{300}=\dfrac{150}{x}\\\\x=\dfrac{150\times 300}{12}\\\\x=3750

<h3>Thus, the total number of squirrels in the area are 3750.</h3>

Answer:

The procedure for this case is add three, then divide by 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

if y=5x-3

to find the inverse, we exchange x and y then solve for the new y.

x=5y-3   add 3

x+3 = 5y   divide by 5

(x+3)/5 = y

or

inverse, y=(x+3)/5

The procedure for this case is add three, then divide by 5.

kicyunya [14]

Answer: 5 cookies and 6 brownies.

Step-by-step explanation: If she decides to buy 5 cookies it will cost her $2.50. This means she can still spend $12.50. If we need to find how many brownies she can buy, the expression 12.50/2.25 can explain. In this case, she can buy 5 brownies and will have $1.25 left over

I need to find the value of x
Bond [772]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all the angles share a common vertex 'U' lying on a straight line QT.

Therefore, sum of all angles formed at U will be equal to 180°.

m∠RUQ + m∠RUS + m∠SUT = 180°

(2x - 4) + (3x + 5) + (2x + 11) = 180°

(2x + 3x + 2x) + (5 - 4 + 11) = 180

7x + 12 = 180

7x = 180 - 12

x = \frac{168}{7}

x = 24

Therefore, value of x = 24
