Let D be dogs and C be cats

<em>dogs, d, is initially five less than twice the number of cats, c</em>

D + 5 = 2C

<em>If she decides to add three more of each, the ratio  of cats to dogs will be</em>

D + 8 = 2C + 3

<em>Could Bea's Pet Shop initially have 15 cats and 20 dogs?</em>

Simply plug in the numbers

20 + 5 = 2(15)

This is clearly not true: 25 does not equal 30

murzikaleks [220]

Answer: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

k(x)=2x+3

M(x)=3x^2+7x-10

M\left(k(x)\right) is given by replacing the x by k(x) from the M(x)

\Rightarrow M\left(k(x)\right)=3(2x+3)^2+7(2x+3)-10\\\Rightarrow M\left(k(x)\right)=3(4x^2+9+12x)+14x+21-10\\\Rightarrow M\left(k(x)\right)=12x^2+50x+38

Now, M\left(k(-4)\right) is

\Rightarrow M\left(k(-4)\right)=12(-4)^2+50(-4)+38\\\Rightarrow M\left(k(-4)\right)=192-200+38\\\Rightarrow M\left(k(-4)\right)=30

This is so confusing all of it makes no sense
Tom [10]

Answer:

D). 4\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>STEP 1a:</u> Find the last angle of the triangle. ( which is angle A)

A+90+45=180

<u>STEP 1b:</u> Solve the equation for A by adding 90 and 45.

A+135=180

<u>STEP 1c:</u> Then Move all terms not containing A to the right side of the equation by subtracting 135 from both sides of the equation

A=180-135

<u>STEP 1d:</u> Subtract 135 from 180.

A=45

STEP 2a: Find side b next.

STEP 2b: The cosine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

cos(A)=\frac{adj}{hyp}

STEP 2c: Substitute the name of each side into the definition of the cosine function.

cos(A)=\frac{b}{c}

STEP 2d: Set up the equation to solve for the adjacent side, in this case b.

b=c*cos(A)

STEP 2e: Substitute the values of each variable into the formula for cosine.

b=8*cos(45)

STEP 2f: Cancel the common factor of 2.

a=4\sqrt{2}
