Answer:

The percent of the number of cats and the number or dogs is 80%.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the shelter there are 15 dogs 12 cats three snakes and five parakeets.

Total animals are = 15+12+3+5=35

We have to tell what percent of the number of cats is the number of dogs.we have 12 cats and 15 dogs, so required percentage is : 80% = (12 divided by 15) times 100

Therefore, the percent of the number of cats is the number of dogs is 80%.

Solve for 2x^2-4x+5=6

Softa [21]

To solve for a variable, you need to get it (x) by itself.

2x² - 4x + 5 = 6 Subtract 6 from both sides
2x² - 4x - 1 = 0 Plug this into the Quadratic Formula

a = 2 , b = -4 , c = -1
x = $\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$ Plug in your values
x = $\frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4(2)(-1)} }{2(2)}$ Simplify
x = $\frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 + 8} }{4}$ Simplify
x = $\frac{4 \pm 2\sqrt{6} }{4}$ Simplify by removing a 2 from every term
x = $\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{6} }{2}$ Simplify by taking the fraction apart
x = $\frac{2}{2} \pm \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}$ Change $\frac{2}{2}$ to 1
x = 1 $\pm \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}$ Simplify $\frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}$ to $\sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} }$
x = 1 $\pm \sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} }$

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression. 8(3 + 4) = 24 +

Marina CMI [18]

Using the distributive property is done by multiplying the factor (outside the parentheses) to each term within it. In this case, 8(3 + 4), we multiply the 8 by 3, and then add it to the product of 8 x 4:
8(3 + 4) = 8 x 3 + 8 x 4 = 24 + 32
If we need to simplify further, this adds up to 56.

What is the answer <br> help

ruslelena [56]

Answer: With that assumption, we have a square, whose area is given by the formula Asquare=a2, and two semicircles. The distance D is simply the square's diagonal. The area of each semicircle is given by the formula Asemicircle=π*r2/2. then you will get your answer!
