Answer: X= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio 3:2:x may also be written as Nicole:oluwatomi:muna which means that Nicole is 3y olwatomi is 2y and muna is xy. We also know that all their values together add up to 500

Using the information above we can set up an equation:

3y+2y+xy=500. If’s you simplify this equation you get 5y+xy=500

Going onto the next step we know that Nicole’s share is 150. We can set up an equation using this information:

150=3y. After simplifying we know that y=50

So if we go back to our first equation: 5y+xy=500 we can substitute y with 50.

5*50+x*50=500 after we solve this equation we can get the result X=5

What is the range of the function? A. {1, 2, 3, 4} B. {1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 12} C. {2, 4, 9, 16} D. {1, 2}

prohojiy [21]

C. {2, 4, 9, 16}

ranges (y) would be on the left of the graph. domains (x) would be on the left of the graph.

hope this helps! ❤ from peachimin

2.1x 10^8 is how many times the value of 4.2 x 10^2?

Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find out how many times larger something is than something else, you have to divide. We will set up a problem that looks like this:

$\frac{2.1*10^8}{4.2*10^2}$

Diving 2.1 by 4.2 gives us .5; to divide the exponents, we remember that if we divide like bases we have to subtract the exponents. 10 is our base in both cases, so 8 - 2 gives us 6, resulting in:

$.5*10^6$

However, this isn't in scientific notation. We need to move the decimal one more place to the right, which in trn reduces the exponent by 1:

$5*10^5$
