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.

The fastest elevator in the burj khalifa can travel 330 feet in just 10 seconds. How far does the elevator travel in 11 seconds?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

363 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The fastest elevator can travel 330 feet in just 10 seconds

so

using proportion

Find out how far does the elevator travel in 11 seconds

Let

x ---> the distance traveled in 11 seconds

\frac{330}{10}\frac{ft}{sec} =\frac{x}{11}\frac{ft}{sec}\\\\x=330(11)/10\\\\x= 363\ ft

12. (2v^3 - v + 8) + (-v^3 + v - 3)<br><br> 14. (4h^3 + 3h + 1) - (-5h^3 + 6h - 2)
Lana71 [14]
12. On addition, you can just combine like terms.
2v^3+(-v^3)=v^3
-v+v cancels each other out
8+(-3)=5
So you have v^3+5

14 On subtraction, you have to remember to distribute the negative sign so after you do that you have:
4h^3+3h+1+5h^3-6h+2
Then you can combine like terms
4h^3+5h^3=9h^3
3h-6h=-3h
1+2=3
So you end up with:
9h^3-3h+3

Hope that helps and feel free to ask any questions.
