Answer:

There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

x = Number of gold coins in a chest

1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain

1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally

3 = Number of gold coins left

2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?

Let's write the following equation to solve for x:

1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x

2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)

4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)

x = 12

There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.

Hope this helps :D

The profits in hundreds of dollars, P(c), that a company can make from a product is modeled by a function of the price, c, they

Jobisdone [24]

The maximum profit is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola represented by the equation.

$P(c)=-20c^2+320c+5120 \\ \\
a=-20 \\
b=320 \\ \\
\hbox{the vertex } (h,k): \\
h=\frac{-b}{2a}=\frac{-320}{2 \times (-20)}=\frac{-320}{-40}=8 \\
k=f(h)=f(8)=-20 \times 8^2+320 \times 8+5120= \\
=-1280+2560+5120=6400$

The maximum value is 6400, but the profit is given in hundreds of dollars, so multiply the value by 100.

The maximum profit the company can make is $640,000.

Find m<1 and find m<2

xenn [34]

Answer:

m∠1 = 50°

m∠2 = 130°

Explanation:

m∠2 = 130° because of alternate exterior angles.

m∠1 = 50° because it is supplementary to m∠2. So, 180 - 130 = 50.

If f(x)=x-6/x, g(x)=x+4 and h(x)= 3x-2 (h*f*g)(x)

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

-14 + x\4 + x

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by plugging the g(x) function into the f(x) for every "x" you see, then take THAT answer and plug into the h(x) function for that "x" you see. You will arrive at the above answer.
