Answer:

4 ducks and 5 cows

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume that there are x number of ducks.

Since there are a total of 9 animals,

then, there must be (9 - x) number of cows.

Each duck has 2 legs and each cow has 4 legs.

So the total number of legs will be 2x + 4(9 - x).

We are told that there are 28 legs.

Therefore,

2x + 4(9 - x) = 28

2x + 36 - 4x = 28

- 2x = - 8

x = 4

ducks = 4

cows = 9 - 4 = 5

A ball is dropped from a height of 64 feet. Its height, in feet, can be modeled by the function h(t) = -167 + 64, where t is the
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Known facts:

  • the ball dropped from a height of 64 feet
  • function h(t) = -16t^{2}  + 64

First question:

  • the ball hits the ground when h(t) = 0, thus we get the equation

                      -16t^{2} +64 = 0\\16t^{2} = 64\\t^{2} =4\\t = 2

     So the ball hits the ground in 2s

Second question

  • to find how long it takes the ball to fall 36 feet, we must set h(t) = 64 - 36 = 28

                      -16t^{2} +64 = 28\\16t^{2} = 36\\t = \frac{6}{4} =1.5s

      So the ball hits the ground in 1.5s

Hope that helps!

A student solved the equation 2x+6=12 using algebra tiles. incorrectly says the solution is 9. Solve the equation. What mistake
alexdok [17]
Instead of subtracting 6 from 12 then dividing they added 6 to 12 & ended up with 18. 18 by 2 is 9.
