Answer:

Orinal number of cats=  171

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Decrease in population= 30%

Current population= 120

<u>To calculate the original number of cats, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Orinal number of cats= current population / (1 - decrease)

Orinal number of cats= 120 / (1 - 0.3)

Orinal number of cats=  171

Each side of a square is increased by 3 inches. The perimeter of the new square is 40 inches more than twice the length of the s
RUDIKE [14]

Length of side of new square is 17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the length of the side of the old square be x. Then length of side of new square = x + 3 and Perimeter of new square = 40 + 2x

Perimeter of a square = 4 × side

⇒ 4(x + 3) = 40 + 2x

⇒ 4x + 12 = 40 + 2x

⇒ 2x = 28

⇒ x = 14 inches

  • Step 2: Find length of side of the new square

⇒ x + 3 = 17 inches

Let f(x) = -4x + 7 and g(x) = 10x - 6. Find f(g(x)).
Triss [41]
f(x)=-4x+7\\&#10;g(x)=10x-6\\\\\Substitute\ x=10x-6\ to\ f(x)\\&#10;f(g(x))=-4(10x-6)+7\\&#10;f(g(x))=-40x+24+7=-40x+31\\\\\&#10;Solution\ is\ f(g(x))=-40x+31.

How to use substitution to solve system of equations
svlad2 [7]

Answer: See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that you have a System of two equations. You can solve this System using the Substitution Method.

In order to use that method to solve the System of equations, you can follow the steps shown below:

Step 1: You must choose one of the equations of the system and solve for one of the variables. Let's call this new equation "Equation A"

Step 2: Then you must substitute"Equation A" into the other equation.

Step 3: Now you must solve for the other variable in order to find its value.

Step 4: Finally, you need to substitute the value of the variable obtained in the previous step, into the "Equation A" and then evaluate in order to find the value of the other varibale.

(Note: You can also substitute the value of the variable calculated in Step 3 into any original equation and solve for the other variable to find its value).
