Answer:
The dog weighs 16 pounds, while the cat weighs 8 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the weight of the dog d, and the weight of the cat c.
d+c=24
d=2c
Substitute the second equation into the first:
(2c)+c=24
3c=24
c=8
d=24-8=16
Hope this helps!
96+264 = 360
360 \ 24 = 15
Therefore he received 15 boxes
Answer:
450 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the cost of the mixture 
must be the cost of the everyday moisturizing lotion 
plus the cost of the self-tanning lotion 
, which means 
.
The cost of any substance will be the cost per ounce of the substance (c), multiplied by the number of ounces (n), which means C=nc, so we have from the previous formula that we have:
But we also know that the number of ounces of the mixture must be the sum of the number of ounces of the everyday moisturizing lotion with the number of ounces of the self-tanning lotion, so we have
We want to calculate the number of ounces of the self-tanning lotion (
), so we solve for that variable:
And substitute our values in this formula, to get:
Your answer is 25% because a change from 16 to 20 represents a positive change (increase) of 25%
Answer:
The vertex is (-3, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
As the equation is already in 'rectangular form), to work out the vertex, we can just compare this equation to that of the standard parabola y = x^2, and in particular, consider how it has been translated:
the (x+3) part moves the graph the the left 3 (i.e in the negative direction), while the +7 moves the graph up 7.
So as the vertex of the simple parabola y = x^2 is (0,0), the vertex of this graph is just (-3,7).
Note that the -2 at the front doesn't impact this vertex - this -2 just changes the 'scale' of the parabola (i.e makes it more narrow, and also turns it upside down as it's a negative number).
