Let

h--------> number of horses

c--------> number of cows

we know that

$h+c=16$ --------> equation $1$

$h=c+2$ --------> equation $2$

substitute equation $2$ in equation $1$

$(c+2)+c=16$

$2c+2=16$

$2c=16-2$

$c=7$

<u>Find the value of h</u>

$h=c+2$

$h=7+2$

$h=9$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

There are $9\ horses$ and $7\ cows$

Write an equivalent expression for the 4th root of 324m^12 * the cubed root of 64k^9. Need help!

Elis [28]

Answer:

The equivalent expression to the givan expression is

$\sqrt[4]{324m^{12}}\times\sqrt[3]{64k^9}=12\sqrt[4]{4}m^3k^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is 4th root of 324m^12 * the cubed root of 64k^9

The given expression can be written as

$\sqrt[4]{324m^{12}}\times\sqrt[3]{64k^9}$

To find the equivalent expression to the given expression :

$\sqrt[4]{324m^{12}}\times\sqrt[3]{64k^9}$

$=\sqrt[4]{81\times 4m^{12}}\times\sqrt[3]{16\times 4k^9}$

$=\sqrt[4]{3\times 3\times 3\times 3\times 4m^{12}}\times\sqrt[3]{4\times 4\times 4k^9}$

$=\sqrt[4]{3\times 3\times 3\times 3\times 4m^{12}}\times\sqrt[3]{4\times 4\times 4k^9}$

$=(3\times \sqrt[4]{m^{12}})\times (4\times \sqrt[3]{k^9})$

$=(3\times \sqrt[4]{4m^{12}})\times (4\times \sqrt[3]{k^9})$

$=(3\times \sqrt[4]{4}\times (m^{12})^{\frac{1}{4}})\times (4\times {(k^9)^{\frac{1}{3}})$

$=(3\sqrt[4]{4}\times m^{\frac{12}{4}})\times (4\times k^{\frac{9}{3}})$

$=(3\sqrt[4]{4}\times m^3)\times (4\times k^3)$

$=3\sqrt[4]{4}m^3.4k^3$

$=12\sqrt[4]{4}m^3k^3$

$\sqrt[4]{324m^{12}}\times\sqrt[3]{64k^9}=12\sqrt[4]{4}m^3k^3$

Therefore the equivalent expression to the given expression is

$\sqrt[4]{324m^{12}}\times\sqrt[3]{64k^9}=12\sqrt[4]{4}m^3k^3$

Determine in which direction the parabola opens y=-3x^2+5x+11<br> up down<br> left <br> right

pav-90 [236]

We have that
y=-3x²<span>+5x+11

we know that
the equation of the parabola in standard form can be expressed in one of the following two ways
y=ax</span>²+bx+c
<span>the parabola opens up if a is positive and opens down if a is negative
and
x=ay</span>²+by+c
the parabola opens right if a is positive and opens left if a is negative
<span>
in this problem
the equation is of the form
</span>y=ax²+bx+c<span>
a=-3
so
the parabola opens down

using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the vertex of a parabola is a maximum

the answer is
</span>the parabola opens down

How many solutions does this equation have? 6x-2=6x+7

Anon25 [30]

None, the equation 6x - 2 = 6x + 7 does not have any solutions.

<h3>What is an algebraic equation? </h3>

An algebraic equation is an equation that consists of numbers and variables. To solve the variables, there is a need to make use of some or all of the arithmetic operations such as:

Addition
Subtraction
Division, and
Multiplication

From the given equation:

6x - 2 = 6x + 7

Collect like terms

6x - 6x -2 - 7 = 0

0 - 9 = 0

Since there is no variable to solve for in the equation, we can conclude that the equation does not have any solutions.
