Answer:

Runner-up: $15,000

Winner: $75,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create an equation for this problem.

Let x=the amount the runner-up receives

Let 5x=the amount the winner receives

Then,

x+5x=90,000

6x=90,000

x=15,000

5x=75,000

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The transformation of g(x) to k(x) consists in a vertical translation. The new equation is k(x) = -12\cdot x-6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g(x) = -12\cdot x - 3. We proceed to make the required transformations on g(x), which consists in one vertical translation, 3 units in the -y direction. That is to say:

k(x) = g(x) - 3 (1)

k(x) = (-12\cdot x - 3) - 3

k(x) = -12\cdot x-6

Then, the transformation of g(x) to k(x) consists in a vertical translation. The new equation is k(x) = -12\cdot x-6.

<h3>Answer:  3. Postulate</h3>

A postulate is something that is assumed to be true and there isn't a proof for it as its something foundational to help set up further proofs later down the road. Another example of a postulate is that a line is defined by two distinct points.

PLS HELP ME ASAP I ONLY HAVE 5 MINITUES
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

200 + 50x = 450

Step-by-step explanation:

So, 200 + 50x = 450

50x = 450-200 = 250

X = 250/50

X = 5

Check:

200 + 50(5)

= 200 + 250 = 450.

there are d horses in a field there are 16 more female horses than male horses of the horses in the field only 25% of the male h
Oduvanchick [21]
Use f and m for "female" and "male."  Then f = m + 16, and f + m = d (total)

So now we have the system of linear equations

f = m + 16
f + m = d

We can eliminate f by subst. m + 16 for f in the second equation:
                                                                                                           d-16
m + 16 + m = d, or 2m + 16 = d.  Find m.  2m = d - 16, so that m = --------
                                                                                                               2

Assuming that the male horses are either brown or black, and that 25% of these are brown, then the rest must be black.  This number is
