Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up your equation -> -5x - 3 = -18

Add 3 to both sides -> -5x = -15

Divide both sides by -5 -> x= 3

The ratio of blue jays to Robin's was 6 to 7. If there were 84 Robins, how many blue jays were there?

Paul [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio of blue jays to robin's was 6 to 7 then if there were 84 robins how many blue jays were there.

6 to 7 can also be express as 6/7

Thus, we can set up a proportion

6/7 = x/84

Now, we have to solve for x

x = 72

Hence, if there were 84 robin there would be 72 blue jays.

Andre has a summer job selling magazine subscriptions. He earns $25 each week plus $3 for every subscription he sells. Andre hop

Strike441 [17]

Answer: 25 + 3n

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the answer is lacking the last part:

Write an expression for the amount of money he makes this week.

So, to answer this we have to write an expression:

The fixed amount that he earns per week (25) plus the product of the amount he earns per subscription (3) and the number of subscriptions sold (n) , must be equal to his weekly earnings.

Mathematically speaking:

25 + 3n

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

How do you simplify 875/1000

OverLord2011 [107]

$Find\ GCF(875;\ 1000)$

$875|5\\175|5\\.\ 35|5\\.\ \ 7|7\\.\ \ 1|\\875=\fbox5\times\fbox5\times\fbox5\times7\\\\1000|5\\.\ 200|5\\.\ \ 40|5\\.\ \ \ 8|2\\.\ \ \ 4|2\\.\ \ \ 2|2\\.\ \ \ 1|\\1000=\fbox5\times\fbox5\times\fbox5\times2\times2\times2$

$GCF(875;\ 1000)=\fbox5\times\fbox5\times\fbox5=125\\\\\frac{875}{1000}=\frac{875:125}{1000:125}=\frac{7}{2\times2\times2}=\boxed{\frac{7}{8}}$

Given r(x) = startfraction 11 over (x minus 4) squared endfraction , which represents a domain restriction on r(x) and the corre

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The domain and inverse of the function

$r(x) = \frac{11}{(x - 4)^2}$ is

Domain = $\mathbb{R} - \{4\}$ ,

$r^{-1}(x) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{x}} + 4$

What is a function?

A function from A to B is a rule that assigns to each element of A a unique element of B. A is called the domain of the function and B is called the codomain of the function.

There are different operations on functions like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and composition of functions.

The given function is

$r(x) = \frac{11}{(x - 4)^2}$

r(x) is not defined if x - 4 = 0

r(x) is not defined for x = 4

Domain = $\mathbb{R} - \{4\}$ ,

Where $\mathbb{R}$ is the set of all real number

Let r(x) = y

$\frac{11}{(x-4)^2} = y\\(x - 4)^2 = \frac{11}{y}\\x - 4 = \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{y}}\\x = \pm\sqrt{\frac{11}{y}} +4$

$r^{-1}(x) = \pm \sqrt{\frac{11}{x}} + 4$
