Mathematics

Alik [6]3 years ago

Answer:

  • Jim's: 7
  • Duke's: 21
  • Hank's: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J, D, and H represent the drove sizes of Jim, Duke, and Hank.

  2(H -6 + 1) = (J +6 -1) . . . . . Hank's offer

  3(D -14 +1) = (H +14 -1) . . . . Duke's offer

  6(J -4 +1) = (D +4 -1) . . . . . . Jim's offer

These equations can be simplified to ...

  2H - J = 15

  3D - H = 52

  6J - D = 21

__

<u>Solution</u>

Adding twice the second equation to the first gives ...

  2(3D -H) +(2H -J) = 2(52) +(15)

  6D -J = 119

Adding 6 times the third equation to this one gives ...

  6(6J -D) +(6D -J) = 6(21) +(119)

  35J = 245

  J = 7

Using this value in the third equation gives ...

  6(7) -D = 21

  42 -21 = D = 21

Using the value of J in the first equation gives ...

  2H -7 = 15

  H = (15 +7)/2 = 11

Then the solution is (J, D, H) = (7, 21, 11).

Jim's drove had 7 animals; Duke's drove had 21 animals; Hank's drove had 11 animals.

Given f(x)=3x-1 find f(-1)
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

<h2>f( - 1) = - 4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x - 1

To find f(-1) substitute the value of x that's

- 1 into f(x). That's for every x in f(x) replace it with - 1 and solve

That's

f( - 1) = 3(-1) - 1

= - 3 - 1

We have the final answer as

<h3>f(-1) = - 4</h3>

Hope this helps you

Identify the angle measures of PQRS.
kap26 [50]
The opposite angles of an inscribe quadrilateral are supplementary.

angle P + angle R = 180
6x + 7 + 12x + 11 = 180
18x + 18 = 180
18x = 162
x = 9

Now we will substitute in the value of x to find angle P and R.

angle P = 6(9)+7 = 61
angle R = 12(9)+11 = 119

Now we will find the value of y.

angle Q + angle S = 180
10y + 7 + 3(3y + 7) = 180
10y + 7 + 9y + 21 = 180
19y + 28 = 180
19y = 152
y = 8

Now substitute in the value of y to find angle Q and S.

angle Q = 10(8)+7 = 87
angle S = 3(3*8+7) = 93

Hope this helps :)
