Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of people. Let C represent those that like cake and let I represent those that like ice cream. Given:

C = (1/4)x = 0.25x, I = 0.5x, (C ∪ I)' = 12, C' = 20

Therefore:

C ∩ I' = C' - (C ∪ I)' = 20 - 12 = 8

C ∩ I = C - C ∩ I' = 0.25x - 8

C' ∩ I = I - C ∩ I = 0.5x - (0.25x - 8) = 0.25x + 8

The total students = (C ∩ I) + (C' ∩ I) + (C ∩ I') + (C ∪ I)'

x = 0.25x - 8 + 0.25x + 8 + 8 + 12

x = 0.5x + 8 + 12

x = 0.5x + 20

0.5x = 20

x = 40

Students that liked both = C ∩ I = 0.25(40) - 8 = 2

Solve BCD Round the answer to the nearest hundredth
lesya [120]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of angle D can be found using the Interior Angle Sum of a Triangle.

The angles of a triangle add to 180. This means:

90 + 21 + x = 180.

111 + x = 180

x = 69

The solution is A.

Angle B is smaller than Angle D which means CD will be smaller than BC.

1. Find the value of x.<br> 55°<br> (4x - 5)°<br> O<br> 26<br> O
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, use this and set up an equation;

x + ( 4x -5 ) + 55 = 180

Simplify

x + ( 4x - 5 ) + 55 = 180

5x + 50 = 180

Inverse operations;

5x + 50 = 180

    -50     - 50

5x = 130

/5    /5

x = 26

A biologist is comparing the growth of a population of flies per week to the number of flies a bullfrog will consume per week. S
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Realize that since 2x and 3x - 1 are equal to each other, they are also equal to y. This means that we can craft two equations, y = 2x and y = 3x - 1.


When you want to solve a systems of equations via a graph, you need to plot both equations on a graph and determine the x- and y-value of where the lines intersect. In this case, we would plot both y = 2x and y = 3x - 1. These lines intersect at the point (1, 2).


Since we are trying to find the day the bullfrog will be able to eat the entire population, or x, we are going to use the x-value of our point as our answer. Thus, our answer is 1 day.
