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

If f (x) = x and g(x) = 3x + 1 are two real functions. Find (f + g) (x)
romanna [79]

Answer:

4x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

note that (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) , thus

f(x) + g(x)

= x + 3x + 1 ← collect like terms

= 4x + 1

Which triangles are congruent? How do you know?
choli [55]
Use the side lengths! C and D have lengths of 3 and heights of 4.
Also use how far away they are from the axis.

Both C and D are 2 away from each axis on the end point.
This also goes with A.
However, B does not seem to be congruent in the sense of (coordinates)
It is the same length and height.

Kevin hiked up lambs Canyon and two hours and then ran back down in one hour has been running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than
coldgirl [10]

Answer: he hiked 5.6 miles up the canyon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent his speed hiking uphill.

His speed running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than his speed hiking uphill. This means that his speed running downhill would be x + 2.8

Distance = speed × time

Kevin hiked up Lamb’s Canyon in 2 hours. This means that the distance covered by hiking uphill is 2 × x = 2x

He ran back downhill in 1 hour. This means that the distance covered by running downhill is 1 × (x + 2.8) =

x + 2.8

Since the distance uphill is the same as the distance downhill, then

2x = x + 2.8

2x - x = 2.8

x = 2.8

Therefore, the distance hiked up the canyon is

2x = 2 × 2.8 = 5.6 miles

The work of a student to solve a set of equations is shown:
lesantik [10]

<span>If you would like to know in which step did the student first make an error, you can find this using the following steps:

y = 4 - 2z
4y = 2 - 4z
________________
-4(y) = -4(4 - 2z)
</span>4y = 2 - 4z<span>
________________
-4y = -16 + 8z ... Step 2
</span><span>4y = 2 - 4z</span><span>
________________
0 = -16 + 8z + 2 - 4z</span>

<span>16 - 2 = 4z</span>

<span>14 = 4z</span>

<span>z = 14/4 = 7/2</span>

<span>
The correct result would be: Student made an error in Step 2.</span>
