Chinchillas is 5 more than 2 times the number of guinea pigs. How many of each animals are there? Let g = the number of guinea pigs and let c = the number of chinchillas. Write a system of equations to represent the situation and use substitution to solve for the amount of each animal.

Let named variables as you said g- guinea pigs and c- chinchillas
System of equation is:

First is:   c+ g = 60,005 
Second is:   c= 2g+5

When we replace second in first we get:

2g+5+g = 60,005 => 3g+5= 60,005 => 3g= 60,000

g=60.000/3 = 20,000 => g=20,000

When this result we replace in the second equation we get

c= 2 * 20,000 +5= 40,000+5 = 40,005

c= 40,005

Good luck!!!!

How to solve for the shaded region
k0ka [10]
The shaded region is a triangle. Triangle area can be determined with formula
a = 1/2 × b × h

From the question, we know that the triangle consists of
base = 10 - 6 = 4 m
and the height is the dimension which is perpendicular to the base,
height = 6 m

Find the triangle area
a = 1/2 × b × h
a = 1/2 × 4 × 6
a = 1/2 × 24
a = 12

The area of the shaded region is 12 m²

PLS HELP the LAST QUESTION, please...
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

280 Cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding the volume, the equation is V=l*w*h

Therefore, the equation should be:

10.1*3.9*6.8

This is equal to exactly 267.852

However, the answer is 280 cubic in. because it's a larger number and it's about 13 from the actual answer. On the other hand, 250 cubic in. is about 17 from the actual number.

garri49 [273]
Write a proportion first, change over original, like this:
 8      x
16   100
(I got 8 because the difference between 24 and 16 is 8 and I got 100 because percents are out of 100.)
Cross multiply 8 by 100 and you get 800.
Divide 800 by 16 and you get 50.
It changed by 50%
