Answer:

140 toy cars

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Ed's toy car to Pete's toy car is initially given as 5:2

Ed gave Pete a total number of 30 cars

Let x represent the greatest common factor that exists between both number

Number of Ed's car is represented as 5x

Number of Pete car is represented as 2x

Since they each have an equal number of cars which is 30 then we can solve for x as follows

5x-30=2x+30

Collect the like terms

5x-2x= 30+30

3x= 60

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3

3x/3=60/3

x=20

Ed's car is 5x, we substitute 20 for x

5(20)

= 100 cars

Pete car is 2x,we substitute 20 for x

2(20)

= 40 cars

Therefore, the total number of cars can be calculated as follows

= 100+40

= 140 toy cars

Hence they have 140 toy cars altogether

The water level in a lake was 22 inches below normal at the beginning of March. The water level decreased by 3 1/6 inches in Mar
Vinvika [58]
At the beginning it was 22 inches below normal (-22).
Then it decreased by 3 1/6 (-19/6).
Then increased by 1 6/7 (+13/7)

-22 - 19/6 + 13/7
-924/42 - 133/42 + 78/42
-1057/42 + 78/42
-979/42
-23 13/42

It was 23 13/42 inches below normal after April.

lara [203]

Answer:

1 no. answer is -21

Step-by-step explanation:

According to BODMAS

12 + 8 / 2 * 3 - (42 + 3)

= 12 + 8 / 2 * 3 - 45

= 12 + 4 * 3 - 45

= 12 + 12 - 45

= 24 - 45

= -21

The function g(x) = x³ - 2

The function h(x) = 2x³

<h3>What is function?</h3>

An expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable (the independent variable) and another variable (the dependent variable).

Given:

parent function = x³

As, function is shifted vertically down by 2 units to obtain g(x).

So, g(x) = x³ - 2

function h(x) Horizontally by a factor of 2, to obtain, h(x).

So,  h(x) = 2x³
