Answer:

Sam initially made 45 bread rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = total number of bread rolls made by Sam. He gives 2/5 of the bread to his neighbor. This means he gave 2/5 × x =

2x/5 bread rolls to his neighbor.

The remainder would be x - 2x/5 =3x/5

He gave 4/9 of the remainder to his cousin = 4/9 ×3x/5=12x/45

=4x/15

He has 15 bread rolls left

Total number of bread rolls = what he has left + what he gave his cousin + what he gave his neighbor

x = 15 + 4x/15 + 2x/5

Taking LCM of 15 and cross multiplying

15x= 225+4x + 6x

15x = 225 +10x

15x-10x = 225

5x = 225

x = 225/5 =45

Sam initially made 45 bread rolls

Find f(-2) f(x)=9x^2-5x+2
borishaifa [10]

Find f(-2) f(x)=9x^2-5x+2


f(-2) means replace x in the equation with -2:


f(-2)=9(-2)^2-5(-2)+2

= 9(4) +10 + 2

= 36 +10 + 2

= 48


f(-2) = 48

50 POINTS!!!!!
Makovka662 [10]

We can adjust the data by adding 4 to everything before we calculate the statistics.  Or we can calculate the statistics on the given data and just add 4 to everything at the end.  We'll get the same answer either way.

Let's sort the seven data points:  5 5 5 7 7 9 10

Those add up to 48 so the mean is 48/7 = 6.9

The one in the middle is 7 so the median = 7

The mode is the most common one, mode = 5

The range is the difference between max and min, so range = 10 - 5 = 5

In the second week we add four to everything.  Since that adds four to the min and max, the range doesn't change.

Answer: mean=10.9, median=11, mode=9, range=5

if the perimeter of the blanket has to be at least 280 inches is there egnough room for all three of them to cuddle up under the
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

hope it helps

Step-by-step explanation:

angle < EDG = 90°

5x + 4x = 90

9x = 90

x = 90/9

x = 10°

which means

5x = 50°

4x = 40°

---------------------------

sice EF and DG are parallel lines

EHD = 40°

DHG is 90°

then HGD = 50°

-----------------------------------------

ED = 64 x2 (2 sides) = 128 inches

DG = 84 x2 (2 sides) = 168 inches

total perimeter = 128 + 168 = 296 inches

and yes. theres enough room for all 3 to cuddle
