Answer:

4.75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Before the termites: 5 pounds

After the termites: 1/4 of a pound

Amount that the termites took: x

5 - x = 1/4

Add x to both sides of the equation

5 = 1/4 + x

Subtract 1/4 from both sides of the equation

4 3/4 = x

4 3/4 = 4.75

The termites took 4.75 pounds from the log

Hope this helps :)

There are 107 coins in a jar, all dimes and nickels. The coins are worth $6.70. How many of each kind of
weqwewe [10]

<em>d</em> = number of dimes

<em>n</em> = number of nickels

The jar contains a total of 107 coins, so

<em>d</em> + <em>n</em> = 107

Each dime is worth $0.10 and each nickel is worth $0.05, and the jar contains a total value of $6.70, so

0.10<em>d</em> + 0.05<em>n</em> = 6.70

Multiply both sides of the second equation by 100 to eliminate the decimal points:

10<em>d</em> + 5<em>n</em> = 670

Multiply both sides of the first equation by -5:

-5<em>d</em> - 5<em>n</em> = -535

Add the corresponding sides of these two equations to eliminate <em>n</em> and solve for <em>d</em> :

(10<em>d</em> + 5<em>n</em>) + (-5<em>d</em> - 5<em>n</em>) = 670 + (-535)

(10 - 5)<em>d</em> + (5 - 5)<em>n</em> = 670 - 535

5<em>d</em> = 135

<em>d</em> = 135/5 = 27

Then

<em>n</em> = 107 - <em>d</em> = 80

so the jar contains 27 dimes and 80 nickels.

Find the vertical asymptote(s) of f (x) = StartFraction x squared minus 1 Over 2 x + 6 EndFraction.
viktelen [127]
<h2>Explanation:</h2>

We have the function:

f(x)=\frac{x^2-1}{2x+6}

The vertical asymptote can be found when the denominator equal zero, therefore:

2x+6=0 \\ \\ 2x=-6 \\ \\ x=-3

So the vertical asymptote occur at x=-3

Whats 3.2r + 14.7=6.74
Nata [24]

<u><em>r=-199/80 is the right answer.</em></u> First, you had to multiply by 100 from both sides of the equation. And it gave us, 3.2r*100+14.7*100=6.74*100. Next, you had to refine, and it gave us, 320r+1470=674. Then, subtract by 1470 from both sides of equation. And it gave us, 320r+1470-1470=674-1470. Simplify, and it gave us, 320r=-796. You can also divide by 320 from both sides of equation. And it gave us, \frac{320r}{320}=\frac{-796}{320}. And finally, simplify, and it gave us the answer is <em><u>r=-199/80 is the right answer.</u></em> Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly. And have a great day! -Charlie
