A pet shop has rabbits and gerbils for sale. They have 20 animals altogether. They sell two rabbits. Then one of the gerbils has

twins. The shop now has three times as many gerbils as rabbits. How many of each did they start with? (How do you get the answer?)

20 animals - 2 rabbits = 18 animals
18 animals + 2 gerbils = 20 animals.
20 animals / 4 = 5 animals
There are 5 rabbits and 15 gerbils now.
At the start 2 rabbits were sold so add that on.
5 + 2 = 7
There were 7 rabbits.
There weren't any twin gerbils then.
15 - 2 = 13.
There were 13 gerbils and 7 rabbits to start with.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying :)

Solve for x when <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%7Byz%7D%20%3Dy%5E%7B2%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="x^{yz} =y^{2}" alt="x^
Assoli18 [71]

The value of x in x^yz = y^2 is x = \sqrt[yz]{y^2}

<h3>How to solve for x?</h3>

The equation is given as:

x^yz = y^2

Rewrite the equation properly as follows

x^{yz} = y^2

Take the yz root of both sides

\sqrt[yz]{x^{yz}} = \sqrt[yz]{y^2}

Apply the law of indices

x^{\frac{yz}{yz}} = \sqrt[yz]{y^2}

Divide yz by yz

x = \sqrt[yz]{y^2}

Hence, the value of x in x^yz = y^2 is x = \sqrt[yz]{y^2}

A museum has a 1/2 ounce piece of a precious metal. When the museum first received the piece, it had a value of $90. Its value h
Alex777 [14]
The current value of the precious metal is $144/oz

-First, you'd want to determine the original value per ounce since that's what the final unit being asked for is.

- Since the original value of the half ounce piece is given, this first step is fairly simple. You just double ninety.

- We now know that the metal was worth $180/oz when the museum first received it.

- We need to determine the current price of the metal now that is has had a twenty percent loss of value.

- My favorite way to factor in 20% is simply to divide by five since it's a lot more simple than finding the ratio of x$/1%

- $180/5=$36

- Thirty-six dollars is the price drop over the course of the museum possessing the precious metal.

- You now take $180-$36=$144

The mean of a list of test scores is 80. Adding an additional test score of 92 caused the mean to rise to 82. After this additio
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a list of test scores is 80

Adding an additional test score of 92 caused the mean to rise to 82

To find:

After this additional, how many total test are in the list ?

Solution:

Let the total number of test at first = n

And sum of total score = S

As we know, mean = \frac{sum \ of \ total \ observation}{number\  of \ total\  observation}

                    80= \frac{S}{n} \\

Multiplying both sides by n

80n=S

Now, as adding an additional test score of 92 caused the mean to rise to 82,

S+92=82\times(n+1)\\80n +92 = 82n+82           \  (given \ S =80n)

80n-82n =82-92\\-2n=-10

By dividing both sides by minus ( - )

2n =10

By dividing both sides by 2

n =5

Thus, total number of test at first = n = 5

And, after this additional score added, total number of tests are n+1=6
