Greeting homo sapien. I'm assuming you're trying to find the number of giraffes. First we got to establish the variables.
X = # of giraffes
Y = # of elephants
Now let's write the equations
Equation #1
Y = 3X + 4
Now I'm also assuming you meant to write there are 23 more elephants than giraffes, so it would look like this.
Y = X + 23
Now just substitute Y's so you creat an equation with X being the only variable.
X + 23 = 3X + 4
Simplify
2X = 19
X = 9.5
So APPARENTLY there are 9.5 giraffes.... not sure how to get half a giraffe buuuuuuuuut oh well.

Answer:

The bullet point between the numbers means times in this case, in some other cases it would mean "and" also known as plus. Therefore, the correct answer is the second one.

Step-by-step explanation:

In each half unit cube there is 6 cubes. ⇒

6 + 6 + 6 = 18 ⇒

But, this is not one of the options.⇒

So, we have to make the equation a bit different to solve it. ⇒

2 x 3 x 2, is the first option. ⇒

This is incorrect, as it equals 12. ⇒

The sum we are looking for is 18. ⇒

The second answer is 2 x 3 x 3. ⇒

This equals 18, we have found the correct answer. ⇒

So, there are a total of 3 half-unit cubes. ⇒

There are a total of 18 cubes. ⇒

I hope this helps!

Given the figure below, find the values of x and z.
N76 [4]

Answer:

x=9

z=73

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 107 and 8x+35 are vertical angles, so they are equal

107 = 8x+35

Subtract 35 from each side

107-35 = 8x+35

72 = 8x

Divide by 8

72/8 = 8x/8

9 =x

We also know that 107 and z are supplementary angles since they form a straight line.  This means they add to 180 degrees

107+z = 180

Subtract 107 from each side

107-107+z=180-107

z =73
