X - the number of pencils
y - the number of pens

She has twice as many pencils as she has pens.
x=2y

Tom borrows a pen, so she has y-1 pens. Now she has ten less pens than pencils.
x-10=y-1 \\
x=y-1+10 \\
x=y+9

Set 2y and y+9 equal to each other:
2y=y+9 \\
2y-y=9 \\
y=9
She has 9 pens.

Help needed on this composition math problem
Marrrta [24]

Given that f(x) = x/(x - 3) and g(x) = 1/x and the application of <em>function</em> operators, f ° g (x) = 1/(1 - 3 · x) and the domain of the <em>resulting</em> function is any <em>real</em> number except x = 1/3.

<h3>How to analyze a composed function</h3>

Let be f and g functions. Composition is a <em>binary function</em> operation where the <em>variable</em> of the <em>former</em> function (f) is substituted by the <em>latter</em> function (g). If we know that f(x) = x/(x - 3) and g(x) = 1/x, then the <em>composed</em> function is:

f\,\circ\,g \,(x) = \frac{\frac{1}{x} }{\frac{1}{x}-3}

f\,\circ\,g\,(x) = \frac{\frac{1}{x} }{\frac{1-3\cdot x}{x} }

f\,\circ\,g\,(x) = \frac{1}{1-3\cdot x}

The domain of the function is the set of x-values such that f ° g (x) exists. In the case of <em>rational</em> functions of the form p(x)/q(x), the domain is the set of x-values such that q(x) ≠ 0. Thus, the domain of f ° g (x) is \mathbb{R} - \{\frac{1}{3} \}.

Sam chose one marble from a bag containing 2 red marbles, 3 white marbles, and 10 black marbles. Find the probability that the m
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

P(black) = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the total number of marbles

2 red marbles+ 3 white marbles+ 10 black marbles = 15 marbles


To find the probability that Sam chose a black marble, we take the number of black marbles and divide by the total number of marbles

P(black) = black marbles/total marbles

            = 10/15

Divide the top and bottom by 5

            = 2/3

A grid shows the positions of a subway stop and your house. The subway stop is located at (7, -6) and your house is located at (
Yuri [45]

So the distance between subway stop and house is 19 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula will be used to calculate the distance between home and subway.

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Here (x1,y1) are the coordinates of first point

and

(x2,y2) are the coordinates of second point

Given

(x1,y1) = (7, -6)

(x2,y2) = (-9,5)

Putting the values in the formula

d=\sqrt{(-9-7)^2+(5-(-6))^2} \\=\sqrt{(-16)^2+(5+6)^2} \\=\sqrt{256+(11)^2}\\=\sqrt{256+121}\\=\sqrt{377}\\=19.41\ units

Rounding off to nearest unit gives us 19.

So the distance between subway stop and house is 19 units

Give your answer in minutes.
Illusion [34]
In an hour there are 60 minutes.

6:38 PM + 22minutes = 7 PM
From 7 PM to 7:23 PM there are 23 minutes

So, (23 + 22) minutes = 45 minutes.
