Charlotte and Riley walked 6/10 of a mile to school one day, and then after school they walked 3/8 of a mile to the store. From

the store back home was another 2/5 of a mile. How far did the girls walk in all?

Answer: The girls walked $1\dfrac38$ miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Distance from home to school = $\dfrac{6}{10}$ mile

Distance from school to store = $\dfrac38$ mile

Distance from store to home = $\dfrac25$ miles

Total distance = $\dfrac6{10}+\dfrac38+\dfrac25$

= $\dfrac{6\times4+3\times5+2\times8}{40}$ [L.C.M.(10,8,5)=40]

= $\dfrac{24+15+16}{40}$

= $\dfrac{55}{40}$

= $\dfrac{11}{8}=1\dfrac38$ miles

Hence, The girls walked $1\dfrac38$ miles.

dem82 [27]

3x + y = -3
Substitute y = x + 5 in the ‘y’ spot in the 3x + 7 = -3 equation

3x + y = -3
3x + x + 5 = -3
combine liked terms
4x + 5 = -3
-5 on both sides
4x = -8
/4 on both sides
x = -2

Answer:
x = -2

Hi!

We can see here that this is a composition question.

And since the composition of g of f of x is x, we can conclude that g(x) is the inverse of f(x) (if you're confused, search up the definition of an inverse function).

To find an inverse function, we can take the f(x) function and change the positions of the x and y variables.

$f(x)=\frac{e^7^x+\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$y=\frac{e^7^x+\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$x=\frac{e^7^y+\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$2x=e^7^y+\sqrt{3}$

$e^7^y=2x-\sqrt{3}$

$7y=ln(2x-\sqrt{3})$

$y=\frac{ln(2x-\sqrt{3})}{7}$

Which is answer choice A, to check your work, you can solve the composition of g(f(x)), which will get you x.

$g(f(x))$

$g(\frac{e^7^x+\sqrt{3}}{2})$

$\frac{ln(2(\frac{e^7^x+\sqrt{3}}{2})-\sqrt{3}}{7}$

2s cancel.

$\frac{ln(e^7^x+\sqrt{3})-\sqrt{3}}{7}$

The natural log and e cancel.

$\frac{7x+\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}}{7}$

$\sqrt{3}$ s cancel.

$\frac{7x}{7}$

7s cancel.

$x$

Hope this helps!

Billy was counting the number of wheels and bike seats at the playground. He saw tricycles and bicycles. He counted 79 wheels an

mart [117]

I think the answer is 25.5. Although, I don't know how you would have half a bike unless there was a 3 wheel bike which would make the answer 24.
