Answer:

  Number of birds = 13

Explanation:

  An animal shelter spends $1.50 per day to care for each bird and $3.50 per day to care for each cat.

  Let the number of bird be 'a' and number of cat be 'b'.

  Total money spent = 103.5

  1.5 a + 3.5 b = 103.5 ------------------------equation 1

  Total number of birds and cats = 37

   a + b = 37  ------------------------equation 2

  1.5 x equation 2

   1.5 a + 1.5 b = 55.5  ------------------equation 3

 equation 1 - equation 3

      2 b = 103.5 - 55.5 = 48

          b = 24

     Substituting in equation 2

           a = 37 - 24 = 13  

     Number of birds = 13, Number of cats = 24.

determine if the following system of equations has no solutions, infinitely many solutions or exactly one solution. x+y=5 2x-y=-
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

(2/3, 13/3)    (Exactly one solution)

Step-by-step explanation:

Write these equations in a column:

 x+y=5

2x-y=-3

Note that we can eliminate y immediately by adding these two equations together. We get:

3x = 2, so that x = 2/3.

Substituting 2/3 for x in the first equation, we get:

2/3 + y = 5.  Clear out fractions by multiplying all three terms by 3:

2 + 3y = 15, or 3y = 13.  Then y = 13/3, and the solution is

(2/3, 13/3)      There is exactly one solution.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-8,-1) and (-12,-2) ?
kramer

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope subtract the second y-coordinate from the first y-coordinate and divide it by the result of the second x-coordinate from the first.

-2 - -1 = -1

-12 - -8= -3

-1/-3 = 1/3
