Answer:

19 birds

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I wrote my two equations:

5.5x +8.5y = 291.5

x + y = 41

Next, I got the variable y by itself in the second equation. Subtract x to get y = -x + 41. Then, I substituted what y equaled into the first equation. It should look like this: 5.5x + 8.5(-x+41) = 291.5. Distribute 8.5 to get 5.5x -8.5x + 348.5 = 291.5. Subtract 5.5x and 8.5x to get -3x. It should look like this: -3x + 348.5= 291.5. Subtract 348.5 from 291.5 to get -57. Now, you should have -3x = -57. Divide -3 from both sides, to get x = 19. So, there are 19 birds. If you want to go even further, 41-19= 22, which means there are 22 cats. Hope this helped!

The water level varies from 12 inches at low tide to 52 inches at high tide. Low tide occurs at 9:15 a.m. and high tide occurs a
balandron [24]
52 inches - 12 inches = 40 inches
amplitude:  a = 40 inches / 2 = 20 

<span>f(x)=20cos(bx)+c</span>
the value of c is 32... since the centre of the has been moved up 32 units

the minimum amplitude =  32 - 20 = 12
the maximum amplitude = 32 + 20 = 52

<span>f(x)=20cos(bx)+32</span><span>
if the curve takes 6 1/4 hours from low to high tides (9:15 am to 3:30 pm)  then it will take 12 1/2 hours to complete a full cycle.

adjust the period by converting 12 1/2 hours to an angle measure.

360</span>°/12 = 30° 
30° / 12 = 15°

12 1/2 = 360° + 15° = 375°

f(x) = 20 cos(375°) + 32
f(x) = 20 * 0.97 + 32
f(x) = 19.4 + 32
f(x) = 51.4

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The other taxes are $135.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided, you know that Oliver pays $180 in payroll tax and that the federal income tax is 0.75 of the payroll tax, so in order to find how much are the other taxes you have to calculate the 0.75 of the payroll tax Oliver pays:

180*0.75=135

According to this, the answer is that the other taxes are $135.
