Answer:

10 spiders and 12 ants

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to create two equations

s = # of spiders

a = # of ants

s + a = 22 heads

since each spider and ant has one head

8s + 6a = 152 legs

since every spider has 8 legs and every ant has 6

s + a = 22 can be turned into s = 22 - a

now use substitution

8(22 - a) + 6a = 152

176 - 8a + 6a = 152

176 - 2a = 152

24 = 2a

a = 12

now that you have the number of ants you can solve for the number of spiders

s + a = 22

s + 12 = 22

s = 10

Llana [10]
The large puppy weighs 20.97 Pounds. This is because 2/3 of a hundred is 66. You would do 4.5 Times 4.66. This equals 20.97. It can be rounded to 21. Hope this helps!

If f(x) = -2x - 3, find f(0) - 7. <br><br><br>help please!! I will give brainliest!!!!
VikaD [51]

Hi there!

\huge\boxed{-10}

f(x) = -2x - 3

Plug in 0 for "x" to solve for f(0):

f(0) = -2(0) - 3

f(0) = -3

Since the question is asking you to evaluate f(0) - 7, simply subtract:

-3 - 7 = -10.

What is the range of the function f(x) = |x| – 3?
Likurg_2 [28]
Why not draw the graph of y=|x|?  It has a v-shape, and the vertex is at (0,0).

The graph of f(x) = |x| - 3 looks exactly the same, EXCEPT that the whole graph of |x| is shifted 3 units downward.  The smallest value that y can have is therefore -3.

Can you now figure out the range of f(x)?

Find the value of each variable in the parallelogram.
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

u = 4; v = 18

because this is a parallelogram

=> 2u + 2 = 5u - 10

6 = v/3

<=> 3u = 12

v = 6.3

<=> u = 4

v = 18
