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 :)

Given the venn diagram, find P(brother and sister)
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Based on the venn diagram of siblings, the probability of having a brother and sister is c. 0.33.

<h3>What is the probability of brother and sister?</h3>

The probability of having a brother and sister can be found as:

= Number of those with brother and sister / Total number of people in poll

Solving gives:

= 10 / (8 + 10 + 5 + 7)

= 10 / 30

= 0.33

In conclusion, the probability of having a brother and sister is 0.33.

Solve for (f+g)(5) if f(x)=6x+3 and g(x)=x-4 show you work please
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
There are two ways to do this.

The first way is to algebraically find (f+g)(x) first and plug in x = 5 later. Doing that method leads us to
(f+g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
(f+g)(x) = 6x+3 + x-4
(f+g)(x) = 7x-1
(f+g)(5) = 7(5)-1
(f+g)(5) = 34

OR

you can compute f(5) and g(5) first, then add up those sub-results to get
f(x) = 6x+3
f(5) = 6(5)+3
f(5) = 33
g(x) = x-4
g(5) = 5-4
g(5) = 1
Adding up these results gives: (f+g)(5) = f(5) + g(5) = 33+1 = 34

Either way, the final answer is 34

What is the best description for the lines
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Lines are described as connecting curve joining two points.

Step-by-step explanation:

In coordinate geometry, graph theory, we have points which do not occupy any space.

Any two points can be connected by a curve or a straight line.  If two points are joined by a straight line, then we have the slope of the line i.e. the tangent of angle of the line with x axis is constant.

Straight lines would be of the form ax+by+c=0

Hence in equation form, lines would have equations in linear form of both x and y.

Lines have constant slope throughout the region.

Lines can be extended from -infinity to +infinity

Any two distinct  points can make a line, but 3 points need not lie on the same line.
