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

700=132.69x-25.96 <br> solve please
Damm [24]

Answer:

x = 5.5 (rounded)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 700 = 132.69x - 25.96

Add 25.96 to both sides: 700+25.96 = 132.69x -25.96 + 25.96

Simplify: 725.96 = 132.69x

Isolate x

Divided both sides by 132.69: \frac{725.96}{132.69} = \frac{132.69x}{132.69}

Simplify: x = 5.5 (rounded)

If, for all x, f'(x)=(x-2)^4(x-1)^3, it follows that funtaion f has
Elenna [48]

Answer:

We say that f(x) has an absolute (or global) minimum at x=c if f(x)≥f(c) f ( x ) ≥ f ( c ) for every x in the domain we are working on. We say that f(x) has a relative (or local) minimum at x=c iff(x)≥f(c) f ( x ) ≥ f ( c ) for every x in some open interval around x=c .

Angle of a triangle measures 115° the other two angles are in the ratio of 4:9 what are the measures of those two angles
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

20, 45

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has 180 degrees interior angle measure. One angle measure 115 so that means the other two angles  must add up to 65.

The remaning angles form a ratio of 4:9. This means we must split 65 into a ratio of. 4:9

A ratio partition parts of something. We can add the ratio intergers to find it full length.

4+9=13.

Divide 65/13=5.

Multiply 5x4 and 5x9 serpately.

We get 20 and 45
