Answer:

Each bag originally had 35 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bags are identical, Let them Number of candies in each bag sue had be x. Thus, she had 5x candies. Since she lost 25 pieces, then she now has;

5x - 25 candies left.

We are told that Ted had 4 bags with the same number of candies like Sue had. Thus, he has 4x candies.

He mysteriously found 10 additional pieces. Total Ted now has is;. 4x + 10

Finally, we are told that Sue and Ted now have an equal number of candies.

Thus;

5x - 25 = 4x + 10

Rearranging, we have;

5x - 4x = 25 + 10

x = 35

Thus, each bag originally had 35 pieces of candy

Find the domain of fg
vazorg [7]
We have the following functions:
 f (x) = x ^ 2 + 1
 g (x) = 1 / x
 Multiplying we have:
 (f * g) (x) = (x ^ 2 + 1) * (1 / x)
 Rewriting:
 (f * g) (x) = ((x ^ 2 + 1) / x)
 Therefore, the domain of the function is given by all the values of x that do not make zero the denominator.
 We have then:
 All reals except number 0
 Answer:
 
b. all real numbers, except 0

Simplify 30x-140-(x-4)
balu736 [363]

Answer:

x = 4.7

Step-by-step explanation:

30x - 140 -(x - 4)

Multiply the -1 into (x - 4)

30x - 140 - x + 4

Add/subtract

29x - 136 = 0

      +136

29x = 136

\frac{29x}{29} = \frac{136}{29}

x = 4.689655172413793

Stella [2.4K]
<span>A set of data that is made of two paired variables is called bivariate data. This simply means 2 variables exist in the data. Both of them are usually linked to each other. As one variable changes value there is a proportionate change in the other value. However sometimes one value may remain constant while the other changes.</span>
