Answer:

The number of ducks are 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are x ducks in a pond.

The number of swans in the pond is equal to the square root of the number of ducks.

Means swans = \sqrt{x}

If the total number of swans and ducks in the pond is 12.

x+ \sqrt{x} =12

=> \sqrt{x} =12-x

Squaring both sides, we get

x=x^{2} +144-24x

=> Taking everything on one side and equating to 0

x^{2} -x-24x+144=0

=> x^{2}-25x+144=0

=> Solving this we get, x = 9 and x = -16

So, we have number of ducks as 9.

And number of swans = \sqrt{9} =3

1.<br> Find the slope of the line.<br> Ay<br> a) -574<br> b) 5/4<br> c) -4/5<br> d) 4/5
maria [59]

Answer:

a) -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is fundamentally rise/run; The points on the line are relative to each other by decreasing/increasing the y-value of +/-5 and decreasing/increasing the x-value by +/-4

The function is decreasing so the slope has to be negative.

The only possible answer choice is -5/4 or a.

Samantha sends her son, Barry, to a preschool center on certain days. The cost of preschool is $45 per day along with a fixed mo
Travka [436]

Answer: Option D

D. 880 = 45d + 70; 18\ days

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the cost of preschool is $ 45 per day plus a monthly fee of $ 70.

We also know that a total of $ 880 was paid last month

To write an equation that represents this situation, let us call "d" the number of days that Barry attends school

So the cost was:

45d + 70 = 880

Now we solve the equation for the variable d

45d= 880-70

d= \frac{810}{45}

d= 18\ days

Therefore answer is the option D
