Hey there!!
A chicken has 1 head and 2 feet . A goat has 1 head and 4 feet
For heads, total = 40
Let us take the number of chickens as ' x ' and goats as ' y '
x + y = 40 ------------- ( 1 )
2x + 4y = 150 ----------- ( 2 )
Multiply the first equation with 2
2x + 2y = 80
2x + 4y = 150
Subtract the first equation from the first
2y = 70
y = 35
Number of goats = 35
substitute this in other equation
x + y = 40
x + 35 = 40
x = 5
Number of chickens are 4
Hope it helps!
Answer:
good luck........................
Subtract the 18 from the 78 then multiply both sides by -1, then divide by 5.
To determine the length of the hypotenuse, apply Pythagorean theorem.
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
(10)^2 + (24)^2 = C^2
100 + 576 = C^2
676 = C^2
C = 26 cm.
The hypotenuse is 26 cm.
