Once upon a time there was a farmer whose family raised pigs and chickens. If you counted 24 heads and 80 feet, how many chickens were there? How many pigs were there?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of chickens = 8

Number of pigs = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the pigs = p

Let the number of chickens = c

Number of heads = 24

p + c = 24 ----------------(I)

p= 24 - c

Number of feet = 80

Chicken has 2 legs and pig has 4 legs

4p + 2c = 80 --------------(II)

Substitute p = 24 - c in equation (II)

4*(24 - c) + 2c = 80

4*24 - 4*c + 2c = 80

96 - 4c + 2c = 80          {Combine like terms}

     96 - 2c = 80        {subtract 96 from both sides}

          -2c = 80 - 96

         -2c = -16          {Divide both sides by (-2)}

           c = -16/-2

          c = 8

Plugin c = 8 in equation (I)

p + 8 = 24

    p = 24 - 8

  p = 16

Some students were asked how many pens they were carrying in their backpacks. The data is given in this frequency table. What is the mean number of pens carried by these students in their backpacks?

A. 3
B. 3.5
C. 4
D. 4.5

Answers

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean: the sum of all numbers divided by the amount of numbers

In this case it will be the sum of all frequency divided by the amount of pens

Mean = 5 + 7 + 3 + 5 + 3 + 2 / 6

Mean = 25/6

Mean = 4.16

The mean is approximately 4

y=x²+4x-3 y=5x+3 solve the simultaneous equation​

Answers

Answer:

(-2, -7) or (3, 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with your 2 equations

y = x^2 + 4x - 3

y = 5x + 3

Because both equal y, we substitute:

x^2 +4x -3 = 5x+ 3

x^2 - x - 6 = 0

Factor:

(x + 2) (x - 3) = 0

Solutions for x: -2 or 3 since if either of the numbers in parentheses is 0, the equation is 0 (0* anything = 0).

Then plug -2 in for x in either equation:

y = 5* -2 + 3

y = -7

So ( -2, -7) is a solution.

Plug 3 in for x in either equation:

y = 5*3 + 3

y = 18

So ( 3 , 18) is a solution.

Hope that helps, let me know if I did anything wrong!

Answer:

(- 2, - 7 ) and (3, 18 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x² + 4x - 3 → (1)

y = 5x + 3 → (2)

Substitute y = x² + 4x - 3 into (2)

x² + 4x - 3 = 5x + 3 ( subtract 5x + 3 from both sides )

x² - x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

Substitute these values into (2) for corresponding values of y

x = - 2 : y = 5(- 2) + 3 = - 10 + 3 = - 7 ⇒ (- 2, - 7 )

x = 3 : y = 5(3) + 3 = 15 + 3 = 18 ⇒ (3, 18 )

The area of a circle is 80.86cm2.
Find the length of the radius rounded to 2 DP.

Answers

Answer:

Solution given:

The area of a circle =80.86cm²

we have:

The area of a circle =πr²

substituting value of area of circle we get

80.86cm=3.14*r²

dividing both side by 3.14

80.86/3.14=3.14*r²/3.14

25.75=r²

doing square root on both side

[tex]\sqrt{25.75}=\sqrt{r²}[/tex]

r=5.07cm

The length of radius is 5.07cm

The length of the radius is 5.07 cm.

What is the area of the circle?

The area of the circle is given by;

[tex]\rm Area \ of \ circle=\pi r^2\\\\Where: \ r = radius[/tex]

The area of a circle is 80.86cm^2.

The length of the radius is;

[tex]\rm Area \ of \ circle=\pi r^2\\\\ 80.86=\pi r^2\\\\r^2=\dfrac{80.86}{3.14}\\\\r^2=25.75\\\\r=5.07[/tex]

The selling price of an apartment dropped from 250,000 to 225,000. By What percent did the price drop?

Answers

Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage decrease in price = [tex]\frac{decrease amount}{original amount}[/tex] x 100%

Original amount = 250,000

New amount = 225,000

Decrease in amount = 250,000 - 225,000

                        = 25,000

So that;

Percentage decrease in price = [tex]\frac{25000}{250000}[/tex] x 100%

                                           = 0.1 x 100%

Percentage decrease in price = 10%

The price of the apartment dropped by 10% of its original price.

A boy borrowed his boat 531 feet out into the ocean. When he looked back he saw the house on a cliff above the beach where he set out. He estimated the angle of elevation was 26 degrees. Estimate to the nearest foot. the height of the house above the water

Answers

Answer:

259 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangles are isosceles. scalene, equilateral, acute, obtuse and right angled triangle.

A right angled triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is 90 degrees. Trigonometric ratios show the relationship between the angles of a right angle triangle and its sides.

Let h represent the height of the house above water, hence using trigonometric ratios:

tan(26) = h / 531

h = 531 * tan(26)

h = 259 ft.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

Let x be the first number:

The other numbers are:

x+1, x+2

The sum of three consecutive numbers is 117:

x + x+1 + x+2 = 117

3x + 3 = 117

3x = 114

x = 38

x+ 1 = 38+1 = 39

x+2 = 38+2 = 40

Thus, the equation for the scenario is x + x+1 + x+2 = 117 and largest number is 40.

Answers

Answer:

D. Subtract 9y from both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Divide both sides of the equation by 36.

B. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6.

C. Add 9y to both sides of the equation.

D. Subtract 9y from both sides of the equation.

Given:

9y - 6x = 36

To solve for x

Step 1: subtract 9y from both sides

9y - 6x - 9y = 36 - 9y

- 6x = 36 - 9y

Step 2: Divide both sides by -6

- 6x / -6 = (36 - 9y) / - 6

x = (36 - 9y) / - 6

Answer:The answer is 1 3/8 (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you added the amounts of each tick mark (which would be 13 2/8), and then subtracted it by 16, it would be 2 6/8. 2 6/8 divided by two (because we need to find the length of both of the indentical meteors) would be 1 3/8.

Now, to make sure it is 1 3/8: 13 2/8 + 1 3/8 + 1 3/8 = 16.

Answers

Answer: (3.5,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, all we have to do is plug in y=-2 into either equations from step one to find the coordinate. To make sure we have the right x-coordinate, let's plug in y for both equations.

4x-7y=28        [plug in y=-2]

4x-7(-2)=28    [multiply]

4x+14=28       [subtract both sides by 14]

4x=14              [divide both sides by 4]

x=3.5

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6x-5y=31        [plug in y=-2]

6x-5(-2)=31    [multiply]

6x+10=31       [subtract both sides by 10]

6x=21             [divide both sides by 6]

x=3.5

Now, we know the solution to the system is (3.5,-2).

Answer:

(3.5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a system of equations, and the value for y is already solved (y=-2)

We want to find the value of x

To do that, substitute -2 as y into either one of the equations in the system (the system has the equations 4x-7y=28 and 6x-5y=31) and solve for x

Let's use 4x-7y=28, although picking 6x-5y=31 is completely fine

Substitute -2 as y into the equation

4x-7(-2)=28

Multiply

4x+14=28

Subtract 14 from both sides

4x=14

Divide both sides by 4 and simplify

x=7/2, or 3.5

We found the value of x in the system

Substitute the values of x and y into a point form (x, y)

The solution is (3.5, -2)
