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

Need help on 11, 12, and 13

Sati [7]

11. is 25°
(Both triangles have two congruent angles which means the 3rd angle is bound to be the same. Just add the 90° and the 65° to get 155 and subtract from 180° because all triangles equal 180°)
12. is 25°
(Same as before, two of the angles are congruent so the third one is the same. Add all of the angles together and have them equal 180° because their is a variable present. 2x+60+70=180 or 2x+130=180. subtract 130 from both sides to get the equation 2x=50 and then divide both sides by 2 to get x=25.)
13. y=14 and x=11.6 (assuming m<d says 15x ÷ 2 because I couldn't really read it)
(m<a = m<d and m<b = m<e because they are lined up together in the ABC and DEF equation. so 3y=42 and (15x÷2=87)

When the x is slove and you have to slove for the y i got how to do it but i don't know which one am i sloving for in the equati

harina [27]

Since x=8y, subsitute 8y for x in other equation

y=6x-11
y=6(8y)-11
y=48y-11
minus y both sides
0=47y-11
add 11 to both sides
11=47y
divide both sides by 47
$\frac{11}{47}=y$
subsitute taht for y to find x

x=8y
$x=8(\frac{11}{47})$
$x=\frac{88}{47}$

$x=\frac{88}{47}$
$y=\frac{11}{47}$
in (x,y) form
(x,y)
$(\frac{88}{47},\frac{11}{47})$

All log graphs contain the points (1,0), (a,1), and (1/a,-1).<br><br> True .<br> False.

Bumek [7]

The correct answer is: True

Explanation:
1. $log_a1 = 0$ (Straightforward)
2. $log_aa = 1
$ (log to base of itself is always 1)
3. $log_a \frac{1}{a} = log_aa^{-1} = -1(1) = -1$ (Using log power property)

Hence the correct option is True.
