Answer:

3 cats are not brown

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 of 12 is 9 so there are 9 kittens in the litter

2/3 of 9 = 6, meaning that 6 cats are brown

9-6 = 3

3 cats in the new litter are not brown

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=2\sqrt{21}\ and\ y=4\sqrt3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

ΔADC and ΔCDB are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

$\dfrac{AD}{CD}=\dfrac{CD}{DB}$

We have

$AD=14-8=6\\CD=y\\DB=8$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{6}{y}=\dfrac{y}{8}$ <em>cross multiply</em>

$y^2=(6)(8)$

$y^2=48\to y=\sqrt{48}\\\\y=\sqrt{16\cdot3}\\\\y=\sqrt{16}\ cdot\sqrt3\\\\\boxed{y=4\sqrt3}$

For x use the Pythagorean theorem:

$x^2=6^2+(4\sqrt3)^2\\\\x^2=36+48\\\\x^2=84\to x=\sqrt{84}\\\\x=\sqrt{4\cdot21}\\\\x=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{21}\\\\\boxed{x=2\sqrt{21}}$

1/4d=1/5g(g+e)-h <br> solve for d<br> Please show your work.

loris [4]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for d, multiply both sides of the equal sign by 4.

4(1/4d) = 4 (1/5g(g+e)-h)

4/4d = 4(1/5 $g^{2}$ + 1/5ge - h)

d = 4/5 $g^{2}$ + 4/5ge - 4h

Problem 1:

1) 3/5x-1 x 3/4=9/10

3x/5-1 x 3/4=9/10

2) 3x/5-1 x 3/4=9/10

3x/5-3/4=9/10

3) 3x/5-3/4=9/10

+3/4 +3/4

4) 3x/5=33/20

5) 5 x 3x/5= 5 x (33/20)

6) 3x=33/4

7) 3x=33/4

/3 /3

8) x=11/4

Problem 2:

1) 6/7+2/5x=-4/5

6/7+2x/5=-4/5

2) 6/7+2x/5=-4/5

-6/7 -6/7

3) 2x/5= --58/35

4) 5 x 2x/5= 5 x (--58/35)

5) 2x= --58/7

6) 2x= --58/7

/2 /2

x= --29/7
