Answer:

There would be 14 cats and 9 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the amount of cats and dogs, we need to set up the system of equations. To do so, start by setting cats as x and dogs as y. Now we can write the first equation to show the total number of animals.

cats + dogs = 23

x + y = 23

Now we can write a second one that shows the difference in the number of cats and dogs.

cats - dogs = 5

x - y = 5

Now we can add the two equations together to solve for x.

x + y = 23

x - y = 5

2x = 28

x = 14

Now that we have the number of cats, we can find the number of dogs by using either equation.

x + y = 23

14 + y = 23

y = 9

laiz [17]

Answer:

125 meters squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of initial pyramid:

  • A= 10²+4*1/2*10*15= 400 m²

Surface area of extended pyramid:

  • A= 10*15+2*1/2*15*15+2*1/2*10*15= 525 m²

The difference is:

  • 525- 400= 125 m²

25 is what percent of 20?
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

20 is 80% of 25

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume, that the number 25 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.

2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.

3. If 100% equals 25, so we can write it down as 100%=25.

4. We know, that x% equals 20 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=25

2) x%=20

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

100%/x%=25/20

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20 is what percent of 25

100%/x%=25/20

(100/x)*x=(25/20)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.25) to get x

100/1.25=x

80=x

x=80

Researchers investigated the effectiveness of oral zinc, as compared to a placebo, in reducing the found those taking oral durat
MaRussiya [10]

Answer: none of the above

Step-by-step explanation: when performing an hypothesis test and we want to make conclusion by comparing the p-value with the level of significance α

When p is greater than α, we reject the null hypothesis because it simply implies that we have a larger chance to commit a type 1 error ( α is the probability of committing a type 1 error an error where we reject the null hypothesis instead of accepting it ) which means we reject the null hypothesis.

When p is lesser than level of significance α, it means that we have a lesser chance of committing a type 1 error, which means we accept the null hypothesis.

Abdi's bowling scores for June were 117, 98, 104, 121, 105, 104, 120, and 111. What is the mean of this data?
elena-s [515]
The first thing that you have to do is line it up from least to greatest: 98,104,104,105,111,117,120,121. Then you add all of the numbers and divide the total of all the number of scores she has. 880/8=110. 110 is the answer of your question. ( I got 8 because I had to count all the numbers and I got 880 because I added all the numbers).
