X is  the number of dog
y is the number of cats , y=40
25% of x is  25*x /100=25x/100=x/4
<span>and there are 25% more cats than dogs means y+ x/4=x implies 40=(3/4)x
</span>x=160/3=53
so the number of dogs is 53 and the number of cats is 40
the total number is 53+40=93

X - number of dogs,
100%+ 25%= 125%
x * 1.25 = 40
x = 40 : 1.25
x = 32
There are 32 dogs.
In total: 32 + 40 = 72 animals.

Find the discriminant of the following quadratic equation then state the number of rational, irrational, and imaginary solutions
lianna [129]

Answer:

  • -6x² - 6 = -7x - 9
  • -6x² + 7x - 6 + 9 = 0
  • -6x² + 7x + 3 = 0
  • 6x² - 7x - 3 = 0

<u>Discriminant:</u>

  • D = (-7)² - 4*6*(-3) = 49 + 72 = 121

<u>Since D > 0, there are 2 real solutions:</u>

  • x = (- (-7) ±√121 )/12
  • x = (7 ± 11)/12
  • x = 1.5, x = -1/3

Jose is thinking of a number.
alexira [117]

The number is 66.

Solution:

Let the number be x.

To find the number x using given conditions.

Start with the last condition.

It is less than 7 times 8 + 23 = 7 × 8 + 23 = 79

So, the number is less than 79 which implies x < 79.          

Using condition (4),  

It is greater than 5 times 4 = 5 × 4 = 20

So, the number is greater than 79 which implies x > 20.    

Combining condition (4) and (7), we get 20 < x < 79.

Using condition (3) and (5),

The number is a multiple of 11 and 6.

The number which is multiplied by both 11 and 6 is 66, 132, ...

But here x lies between 20 < x < 79.

So x = 66.

66 is not odd number and the sum of the digits is divisible by 2.

Therefore condition (1) and (2) also satisfied.

Hence the number is 66.
