Answer:

The answer to your question is the big dog weighs 120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

big dog = b    

medium dog = m

small dog = s

Equations

       b = 5s

       m = 12 + s

       s = 2/3 m

Process

1.- Substitute m in the last equation

       s = 2/3(12 + s)

       s = 24/3 + 2/3s

       s - 2/3s = 8

       1/3 s = 8

             s = 8(3)

             s = 24 pounds

2.- Substitute s in the first equation

        b = 5(24)

        b = 120 pounds

<h3>Answer:   f(x) = x + 13 </h3>

This is the same as y = x+13

=============================================================

Explanation:

Let's find the slope

I'll use the first two rows as the (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (19-18)/(6-5)

m = 1/1

m = 1

The slope is 1.

Now apply the point slope formula and solve for y

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 18 = 1(x - 5)

y - 18 = x - 5

y = x-5 + 18

y = x + 13

f(x) = x + 13  is the final answer

As a check, note how something like x = 5 leads to...

f(x) = x+13

f(5) = 5+13 ... replace x with 5

f(5) = 18

We see that x = 5 leads to f(x) = 18. That verifies the first row. I'll let you check the remaining three rows.

The equation y = x+13 has slope 1 and y intercept 13.

Wich of following are solutions to |x+3|= 4x -7 <br>Answer x= 10/3
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

|x+3|=4x-7

So |-(x+3)|=|x+3|

We are going to try out two cases:

-(x+3)=4x-7                              and    x+3=4x-7

-x-3=4x-7                                               3=3x-7

 -3=5x-7                                               10=3x

  4=5x                                                   x=10/3

  x=4/5

We are going to test out both because we could something that isn't actually a solution, this is called extraneous.

First thing I'm going to check is 4x-7 for it being positive.

4(4/5)-7=20/5-7=-15/5=-3 so 4/5 will not work because absolute value result can't be negative

4(10/3)-7=40/3-7=19/3 which is positive

checking |x+3| to see if is 19/3 for x=10/3 we see that is so that is the answer

Which Question Has roots of x= -2 and x
vazorg [7]

See explanation below.

Explanation:

The 'difference between roots and factors of an equation' is not a straightforward question. Let's define both to establish the link between the two..

Assume we have some function of a single variable

x

;

we'll call this

f

(

x

)

Then we can form an equation:

f

(

x

)

=

0

Then the "roots" of this equation are all the values of

x

that satisfy that equation. Remember that these values may be real and/or imaginary.

Now, up to this point we have not assumed anything about

f

x

)

. To consider factors, we now need to assume that

f

(

x

)

=

g

(

x

)

⋅

h

(

x

)

.

That is that

f

(

x

)

factorises into some functions

g

(

x

)

×

h

(

x

)

If we recall our equation:

f

(

x

)

=

0

Then we can now say that either

g

(

x

)

=

0

or

h

(

x

)

=

0

.. and thus show the link between the roots and factors of an equation.

[NB: A simple example of these general principles would be where

f

(

x

)

is a quadratic function that factorises into two linear factors.
