Answer:
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
x = Number of gold coins in a chest
1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain
1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally
3 = Number of gold coins left
2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?
Let's write the following equation to solve for x:
1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x
2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)
4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)
x = 12
<u>There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.</u>
Answer:
Domain of f(x): All real values.
Range of f(x): All real values.
Domain of f -1(x): All real values.
Range of f -1(x): All real values
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following function:
Since it is a line, we have that both the domain is the range is the real set.
Inverse function:
The domain of the inverse function is the range of the original function, and the range of the inverse function is the domain of the original function.
Finding the inverse function:
Exchange x and y in the original function, and isolate y. So
Original
Exchanging:
Isolating y:
There are 5 sides/angles in a pentagon. Formula (n-2)180 so (5-2)180 which is (3)180=540. In a regular Pentagon there is an area of 540°
A. 2x+y=25; x+y=20
x represents cheese wafers and y represents chocolate wafers.
B. I will choose elimination since there is y and y. I can multiply one equation by -1 to get y and -y, which cancels out.
2x+y=25
-x-y=-20
Add equations
x=5
Plug x in
5+y=20
y=15
Final answer: 5 cheese wafers, 15 chocolate wafers
