1/3 of 1080 is 360.

1080-360=720 cards left.

This is how I would think it could work. As If Jason had given away 360 cards and was asked how much left, it would be possible to multiply 360 by 3 as of flipping 1/3 to 3/1. So 360*3 = 1080

So taking 1080-360 would give you the remaining cards Jason has left so the answer will result 720 remaining

15,000 blue trout were released into the Meherrin River for a scientific study. The function, f(x) = 15,000 (9/8)^x represents t

Ainat [17]

I'm guessing you mean f(x)=15,000(9/8)^x. If this is what you mean, the population would increase by about 12,000 (12030.4870605 to be exact).
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting equation: f(x)=15,000(9/8)^x
You can clean up the 9/8 to be 1.125
Now what you want to do is find the answer to (9/8)^5 which is 1.8020324707
Next multiply 1.8020324707 by 15,000 and you get 27030.4870605
Finally 27,030.4870605 - 15,000 gives you 12030.4870605. Which means that the population increased by about 12,000.

y = 4

Explanation: $\begin{gathered} 3\text{ : y = 18 : 24} \\ 3\colon y\text{ = }\frac{3}{y} \\ 18\colon24\text{ = }\frac{18}{24} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{y}\text{ = }\frac{18}{24} \\ \text{cross mult}iply\colon \\ 3(24)\text{ = y(18)} \\ \text{divide both sides by 18:} \\ \frac{3(24)}{18}\text{ = }\frac{18y}{18} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} y\text{ = }\frac{24}{6} \\ y\text{ = 4} \end{gathered}$

Lynette buys candy at the grocery store. she gives half of the pieces to her son and 2 pieces to her daughter. if she has 4 piec

nevsk [136]

Let Lynette has originally candies in hand = x

She gave half to her son means x/2 given to son.

2 candies gave to daughter and left with 4.

x - x/2 - 2 = 4

adding 2 both sides

x - x/2 - 2 + 2 = 4 + 2

x - x/2 = 6

x /2 = 6

x = 12

Means she have 12 candies originally : Answer

Hope it will help :)

What is the value of x?

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Because this is an isosceles triangle, we know that the angles measuring (x+17°) and (4x+34°) are congruent. Knowing this, we can set up the following equation and solve for x:

x+17 = 4x-34

17 = 3x-34

0 = 3x-51

3x = 51

x = 17

Therefore, the value of x is 17.

I hope this helps!
