P(x) = x^2 - 1
q(x) = 5(x - 1)
(p - q)(x) = p(x) - q(x) = (x^2 - 1) - 5(x - 1)
Four point six three zero.
Answer:
65 cats
Step-by-step explanation:
cats: dogs: total
5: 3: 5+3=8
We need 8 to be 104
104/8 = 13
Multiply each by 13
cats: dogs: total
5*13: 3*13: 8*13
65 39 104
There are 65 cats and 39 dogs
Josh weight 66 pounds and Ben weighs 78 pounds.
Using x to represent Josh's weight, the formula is
x + (x + 12) = 144. Combine like terms to make 2x + 12 = 144. Subtract 12 from each side so that 2x = 132. Finally, divide both sides by 2 to get x = 66, which is Josh's weight. Add 12 pounds to find Ben's weight, which is 78 lbs.
