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
Answer:
x = 26
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x - 17)° + (3x - 11)° = 180° (angles in a straight line)
Solve for x
5x - 17 + 3x - 11 = 180
Collect like terms
5x + 3x - 17 - 11 = 180
8x - 28 = 180
Add 28 to both sides
8x = 180 + 28
8x = 208
Divide both sides by 8
x = 208/8
x = 26
Also:
(2y + 5)° + 90° + (3x - 11)° = 180° (angles on a straight line)
Plug in the value of x and solve for y
2y + 5 + 90 + 3(26) - 11 = 180
2y + 5 + 90 + 78 - 11 = 180
Collect like terms
2y + 162 = 180
Subtract 162 from both sides
2y = 180 - 162
2y = 18
y = 9 (dividing both sides by 2)
Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x) = 8x + 2
given: g(x) = 8x + 2 = -62
8x = -62 -2
8x = -64
x = -8
M / k = x.....multiply both sides by k. eliminating the k on the left side
m = xk <==
