Ana saw 7 kitten and 9 chicks at the pet store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of heads = 16

Number of legs = 46

A chick has 2 legs and a kitten has 4.

Let,

x represent the number of kitten and y represent the number of chicks.

According to given statement;

x+y=16     Eqn 1

4x+2y=46   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 4

4(x+y=16)\\4x+4y=64\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(4x+4y)-(4x+2y)=64-46\\4x+4y-4x-2y=18\\2y=18

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{18}{2}\\y=9

Putting y=9 in Eqn 1

x+9=16\\x=16-9\\x=7

Ana saw 7 kitten and 9 chicks at the pet store.

James has noticed that the number of new tree branches that have grown on a tree in his backyard each year follows the sequence
eduard

Notice that the pattern is "previous term plus 2".  This is an arithmetic sequence where the difference (d) equals +2

a_{n} = a₁ + d(n - 1)   ; where a₁ is the first term, d is the difference, and n is the term.

f(n) = 1 + 2(n - 1)

f(n) = 1 + 2n - 2

f(n) = 2n - 1

********************************

f(10) = 2(10) - 1

f(10) = 20 - 1

f(10) = 19
