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

PLS HELP Find the area of the shaded region. PLEASE
anastassius [24]
<h3>Answer:   64 cm^2</h3>

Reason:

The parallelogram has area of A = base*height = 10*7 = 70 cm^2

The white rectangle has area of B = base*height = 3*2 = 6 cm^2

The shaded region has area of A - B = 70 - 6 = 64 cm^2

If you are curious why the rectangle and parallelogram use the same formula to get the area, notice how you can move that triangle on the left toward the right side so that a rectangle can be formed.

If the present value of a growing perpetuity is 214, the required rate of return is 10%, and growth rate is 3%, what is the cash
Kryger [21]

The cash flow in year 1 is $15.

<h3>What is the cash flow in year 1?

A growing perpetuity increases continuously and indefinitely.

Cash flow = present value x (rate of return - growth rate)

214 x (10% - 3%)

214 x 0.07 = $15
