Answer:

She returned 5 gifts.

Step-by-step explanation:

36 gifts is 60% = 0.6 of all the gifts that she received. How many presents are 100% = 1?

36 gifts - 0.6

x gifts - 1

0.6x = 36

x = 36/0.6

x = 60

She received 60 gifts.

She opened the rest of the gifts and found that 25% of them were the same present

The rest is 60 - 36 = 24 gifts.

25% is (1/4)*24 = 6 duplicate figts

She returned all but one of the duplicate gifts.

That is, she returned 6 - 1 = 5 gifts.

Can any one help me answer this Math question ?

The answer is 4*\sqrt(2), or 5.7 if rounded to the nearest tenth digit. Notice that this is a right triangle (F is the right angle). The length of FG and FE are both 4 units on the diagram. Therefore, according to the Pythagorean theorem, the length of EG is \sqrt(4^2+4^2)=4*\sqrt(2), which is about 5.7.

The sum of two numbers, one is as large as the other is 24. Find two numbers
lakkis [162]

Answer:

4 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 24.

One of the numbers is 5 times larger than the other.

Let x be the first number.

Let y be the second number.

x + y = 24

x = 5y

Put x as 5y in the first equation.

5y + y = 24

6y = 24

y = 4

Put y as 4 in the second equation.

x = 5(4)

x = 20

The perimeter of a rectangular
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a rectangle, we know for sure that perimeter = double the width and double the height. Algebraically, that looks like:

P = 2W + 2H

Let's sub in the given values, P and W:

18 = 2(4) + 2H

Now, let's solve for the height, H:

18 = 8 + 2H

10 = 2H

10/2 = H

<u>5 = H</u>

I hope this helps!

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST <br><br> what is the domain of (f/g) (x)?
tatyana61 [14]

Given that f(x) = \sqrt{7-x} and g(x) = \sqrt{x + 2}, we can say the following:

\Bigg(\dfrac{f}{g}\Bigg)(x) = \dfrac{f (x)}{g(x)} = \dfrac{\sqrt{7 - x}}{\sqrt{x+2}}


Now, remember what happens if we have a negative square root: it becomes an imaginary number. We don't want this, so we want to make sure whatever is under a square root is greater than 0 (given we are talking about real numbers only).


Thus, let's set what is under both square roots to be greater than 0:

\sqrt{7 - x} \Rightarrow 7 - x \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \leq 7

\sqrt{x + 2} \Rightarrow x + 2 \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \geq -2


Since both of the square roots are in the same function, we want to take the union of the domains of the individual square roots to find the domain of the overall function.

x \leq 7 \,\,\cup x \geq -2 = \boxed{-2 \leq x \leq 7}


Now, let's look back at the function entirely, which is:

\Bigg( \dfrac{f}{g} \Bigg)(x) = \dfrac{\sqrt{7 - x}}{\sqrt{x+2}}

Since \sqrt{x + 2} is on the bottom of the fraction, we must say that \sqrt{x + 2} \neq 0, since the denominator can't equal 0. Thus, we must exclude \sqrt{x + 2} = 0 \Rightarrow x + 2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -2 from the domain.


Thus, our answer is Choice C, or \boxed{ \{ x | -2 < x \leq 7 \}}.


<em>If you are wondering why the choices begin with the x | symbol, it is because this is a way of representing that x lies within a particular set.</em>
