Answer:

They have 48 cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

let s be the number of Shauntay's cards and j be the number of Jessica's cards.

The ratio of Shauntay's cards to Jessica's cards is 5 to 3, then

(1) \frac{s}{j} =\frac{5}{3}

After Shauntay gives Jessica 12 of her cards, both girls have the same number of cards, then

(2) s-12 =j+12.

From (2), we get s= j+24. If we put j+24 instead of s in (1) we get:

\frac{j+24}{j} =\frac{5}{3}

3×j+24×3 = 5×j  From this we get;

2×j=72  and j=36

After Shauntay gives Jessica 12 of her cards, Shauntay and Jessica would have 48 cards.

leva [86]

Answer:

f(x) = −6(x + 1)(x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = −6(x + 1)(x + 5) & f(x) = −5(x + 1)(x + 5) are the only ones on the correct side of the y-axis, and f(x) = −6(x + 1)(x + 5) has a y-intercept of -30.

Which expressions are equivalent to z + (z + 6) z+(z+6)z, plus, left parenthesis, z, plus, 6, right parenthesis ?
Scorpion4ik [409]

In the question, the given expression is

z+(z+6)

And we have to find the equivalent expression to the given expression .

First we remove the parenthesis

z+z+6

Now we combine the like terms, and here like terms are z and z, therefore on combining , we will get

z+z+6 = 2z+6

And that's the required equivalent expression .

Answer:

1) x=0.465

2) option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given equation is:

{3}^{x + 2}  = 15We rewrite this as logarithm to get:

x + 2 =  log_{3}(15)

The change of base formula is:

log_{b}(y)  =  \frac{ log(y) }{ log(b) }

We apply the change of base formula on the RHS to get:

x + 2 =  \frac{ log(15) }{ log(3) }

x + 2 =  \frac{1.176}{0.477}

x + 2 = 2.465

Group similar terms:

x = 2.465 - 2.000 = 0.465

2)

From the graph, the logarithmic function approaches negative infinity as x approaches -6.

Therefore the vertical asymptote is x=-6

The graph touches the x-axis at x=-5, therefore the x-intercept is x=-5.

The correct answer is A.

FIND THE VALUEOF THE VARIBLE AND FILL THE BLANK.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

f = 2

g = 8

h = -9

k = 40

m = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1:

23f - 17 = 29

Add 17 to both sides. This undoes the -17.

23f = 29 + 17

Add 17 to 29 to get 46.

23f = 46

Divide both sides by 23. This undoes the multiplication by 23.

f = 46/23

Divide 46 by 23 to get 2.

f = 2

Equation 2:

2(3g + 4) = 56

Divide both sides by 2. This undoes the multiplication by 2.

3g + 4 = 56/2

Divide 56 by 2 to get 28.

3g + 4 = 28

Subtract 4 from both sides. This undoes the +4.

3g = 28 - 4

Subtract 4 from 28 to get 24.

3g = 24

Divide both sides by 3. This undoes the multiplication by 3.

g = 24/3

Divide 24 by 3 to get 8.

g = 8

Equation 3:

h + 9 = 0

Subtract 9 from both sides. This undoes the +9.

h = 0 - 9

Any number subtracted from 0 gives its negation.

h = -9

Equation 4

3(k - 8) = 96

Divide both sides by 3. This undoes the multiplication by 3.

k - 8 = 96/3

Divide 96 by 3 to get 32.

k - 8 = 32

Add 8 to both sides. This undoes the -8.

k = 32 + 8

Add 8 to 32 to get 40.

k = 40

Equation 5:

5m - 5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides. This undoes the -5

5m = 0 + 5

Anything plus 0 gives itself.

5m = 5

Divide both sides by 5. This undoes the multiplication by 5

m = 5/5

Anything divided by itself gives you 1.

m = 1
