Break fast =  1/4
Tea time =  3/5
Still 18 left.

Fraction left =  1 - (1/4 + 3/5) = 

1/4 + 3/5 =  (1/4)*(5/5) + (3/5)*(4/4) = 5/20 + 12/20 = (5 + 12)/ 20

 = 17/20

Fraction left =  1 - (1/4 + 3/5) =  1 - 17/20 = (20 - 17)/20 = 3/20

Fraction left = 3/20

Assuming total number of cookies in the package is x.

(3/20)x = 18

3x/20 = 18

3x = 18*20

x = 18*20/3 = 120

There were 120 cookies in the package.

Ok so
1/4 of total eaten
3/4 left
3/5 of 3/4 eaten
9/20 left
18=9/20 of whole
multiply both sides by 20
360=9 of whole
divide both sides by 9
40=whole


40 total originlly

I need help with a problem with solving by square roots in quadratic equation.
Readme [11.4K]

To solve for x, first, we add 3 to the given equation:

\begin{gathered} 2(x+5)^2-3+3=44+3, \\ 2(x+5)^2=47. \end{gathered}

Dividing by 2, we get:

(x+5)^2=\frac{47}{2}.

Therefore:

x+5=\pm\sqrt{\frac{47}{2}}.

Finally, subtracting 5 we get:

x=\pm\sqrt{\frac{47}{2}}-5.

Answer:

x=\operatorname{\pm}\sqrt{\frac{47}{2}}-5.

A function g(x) is defined as shown.
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

g(4) = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value the function g(x) when x = 4, that is;

g(4)

In the first definition of the function, the value of x is strictly less than 4. Consequently, we shall use the second definition of the function to evaluate g(4)

In the second definition, g(x) is given as;

Q(x) = 0.5x + 10

plug in x = 4 and simplify;

Q(4) = 0.5(4) + 10

Q(4) = 12

Given the following functions, find each of the values:
allsm [11]

The function is computed below based on the information. The answers will be:

1. -11

2. -1

<h3>How to compute the function?</h3>

f(x) = x²-11x+28

g(x) = x-4

(f+g)(-5) = (-5² - 11 × 5 + 28) + (-5 - 4)

= 25 - 55 + 28 - 9

= -11

(f-g)(5)

= = (5² - 11 × 5 + 28) + (5 - 4)

= 25 - 55 + 28 + 1

= -1
