Answer:
45 horseshoe crabs and 45 sea stars
Step-by-step explanation:
The aquarium initially contained x crabs and x sea stars.
"After 15 horseshoe crabs and 27 sea stars are removed the ratio of horseshoe crabs to sea stars is 5:3"
(x-15):(x-27) = 5:3
(x-15)/(x-27) = 5/3
3(x-15) = 5(x-27)
3x-45 = 5x-135
90 = 2x
x = 45
Answer:
Any number with 9 in the ten-thousands place. 90,000 is one such number.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 9 in 39,154 is in the thousands place. Its value is 9,000. In order for the 9 in a number to have a value 10 times that, or 90,000, the 9 must be in the ten-thousands place.
There are an infinite number of such numbers. We suspect you have a list you are to choose from. Pick the number with 9 where it is in the number 90,000.
5x + y = 9....multiply by 7
10x - 7y = -18
----------------
35x + 7y = 63 (result of multiplying by 7)
10x - 7y = -18
----------------add
45x = 45
x = 45/45
x = 1
5x + y = 9
5(1) + y = 9
5 + y = 9
y = 9 - 5
y = 4
solution is : (1,4)
=========================
-4x + 9y = 9
x - 3y = -6 ....multiply by 4
----------------
-4x + 9y = 9
4x - 12y = -24 (result of multiplying by 4)
---------------add
- 3y = - 15
y = -15/-3
y = 5
x - 3y = -6
x - 3(5) = -6
x - 15 = -6
x = -6 + 15
x = 9
solution is : (9,5)
Answer:
3/10
Step-by-step explanation:
So, you already have the experimental probability. The theoretical probability is 5/10, but that's not what you're lookig for.
