H-human a-horse
h+a= 72
2h+4a=192

then do h=72-a
substitute that into the second equation
2(72-a)+4a=192

multiple out
144-2a+4a=192
2a=48
a=24
substitute a into the first equation
h+24=72
h=48
humans- 48
horses- 24

Rainbow [258]
Let the number of hour it took them to have completed the same number of problems be x, then
15 + 10x = 9 + 12x
12x - 10x = 15 - 9
2x = 6
x = 6/2 = 3

After 3 hours, they must have completed the same number of homeworks.

What is the explicit formula for this sequence?
Zarrin [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The above sequence is a geometric sequence

For an nth term in a geometric sequence

a(n) = a ({r})^{n - 1}

where

n is the number of terms

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

From the question

a = 5

r = 10/5 = 2

Therefore the explicit formula for this sequence is

a(n) = 5( {2})^{n - 1}

Hope this helps you

PLEASE HELP PLEASE!!!

Answer:

We conclude that at x = 0 and x = -1, the value of f(x) = 2ˣ - 1 and g(x) = 1/2x is the same.

Therefore, the solution to f(x) = g(x) is:

  • x = -1
  • x - 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table

x                f(x) = 2ˣ - 1                  g(x) = 1/2x

-2                  -3/4                               -1

-1                    -1/2                               -1/2

0                     0                                   0

1                       1                                   1/2

2                     3                                    1

If we carefully observe, we can determine that

at x = 0, the value of f(x) = 2ˣ - 1 and g(x) = 1/2x is the same.

In other words,

at x = 0

  • f(0) = 0
  • g(0) = 0

Thus,

at x = 0

f(x) = g(x)

Also at x = -1, the value of f(x) = 2ˣ - 1 and g(x) = 1/2x is the same.

In other words,

at x = -1

  • f(-1) = -1/2
  • g(-1) = -1/2

Thus,

at x = -1

f(x) = g(x)

Summary:

Thus, we conclude that at x = 0 and x = -1, the value of f(x) = 2ˣ - 1 and g(x) = 1/2x is the same.

Therefore, the solution to f(x) = g(x) is:

  • x = -1
  • x - 0

To be considered as a menu item for Gloria's new restaurant an item must have scored in the top 15% by the food critics in the a
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Lowest score needed=4.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the standard normal distribution table we find the value of standard normal deviate corresponding to area of 15%

For area of 15% we have Z= -1.04

Thus we have

Z=\frac{X-\overline{X}}{\sigma }\\\\\therefore X=\sigma Z+\overline{X}\\\\

Applying values we get

X=-1.04\times 2+7\\\\X=4.92

Thus lowest score needed = 4.92
