Answer:

The number of dogs that had both Lyme disease and arthritis is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent dogs that have both Lyme disease and arthritis

Dog with only Lyme disease = 42 - x

Dog with only arthritis = 96 - x

The sum of the 3 category should give 120

x + (42 - x) + (96 - x) = 120

Collect like terms and solve

x - x - x + 42 + 96 = 120

-x + 138 = 120

138 - 120 = x

x = 18

Dog with only Lyme disease = 42 - x = 42 - 18 = 24

Dog with only arthritis = 96 - x = 96 - 18 = 78

Therefore, the number of dogs with both Lyme disease and anthritis is 18.

A Shampoo Problem: A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.25 of the bottle. How much shampoo is left? a. I
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a) There is no a word problem for both expressions (m = 0.25\cdot 25.4 and m = 25.4-0.25), b) A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.75 of the bottle. How much shampoo is left? A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.25 fluid ounces of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The shampoo problem is a word problem for:

(Final content) = (Initial content) - (Used content)

Then,

m = 25.4 - 0.25\cdot 25.4

Or:

m = 0.75\cdot 25.4

Hence, there is no a word problem for both expressions (m = 0.25\cdot 25.4 and m = 25.4-0.25).

b) The word problem for m = 0.25\cdot 25.4 is:

A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.75 of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?

The word problem for m = 25.4-0.25 is:

A bottle contains 25.4 fluid ounces of shampoo. Katie uses 0.25 fluid ounces of the bottle. How much shampoo is left?

-3^(-x)-6=-3^x+10<br><br>Solve the equation below for x by graphing plz
vitfil [10]
To graph it, just graph y=-3^{-x}-6 and y=-3^x+10 and see where they intersect

I would like to solve it by using math and not graphing
if you don't want to see the math, just don't scroll down
the graphical meathod is above, first line, just read it

hmm
multiply both sides by -1
3^{-x}+6=3^x-10
multiply both sides by 3^x
3^0+6(3^x)=3^{2x}-10(3^x)
1+6(3^x)=3^{2x}-10(3^x)
minus 1 from both sides and minus 6(3^x) from both sides
0=3^{2x}-16(3^x)-1
use u subsitution
u=3^x
we can rewrite it as
0=u^2-16u-1
now factor
I mean use quadratic formula
for ax^2+bx+c=0 x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
so for 0=u^2-16u-1, a=1, b=-16, c=-1
u=\frac{-(-16)+/-\sqrt{(-16)^2-4(1)(-1)}{2(1)}
u=8+/-\sqrt{65}
remember that u=3^x so u>0
if we have u=8+√65, it's fine, but u=8-√65 is negative and not allowed
so therfor
u=8+\sqrt{65}=3^x
8+\sqrt{65}=3^x
if you take the log base 3 of both sides you get
log_3(8+\sqrt{65})=x
if you use ln then
ln(8+\sqrt{65})=xln(3)
then
\frac{ln(8+\sqrt{65})}{ln(3)}=x
