Let named variables as you said g- guinea pigs and c- chinchillas
System of equation is:
First is: c+ g = 60,005
Second is: c= 2g+5
When we replace second in first we get:
2g+5+g = 60,005 => 3g+5= 60,005 => 3g= 60,000
g=60.000/3 = 20,000 => g=20,000
When this result we replace in the second equation we get
c= 2 * 20,000 +5= 40,000+5 = 40,005
c= 40,005
Good luck!!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
I think geomatory box is also similar to original figure
Step-by-step explanation:
0+1 = 1
1/2+1/2= 1
-50 + 51= 1
$ 3.50 per lb * 1 1/2 lbs
3.50 per lb * 1.5 lbs = 5.25
It will cost $5.25
A/c = 8.....a = 8c
a * c = 2 ...a = 2/c
a/b = -16 ...a = -16b
a * b = -1....
b/c = -0.5
2/c = 8c
2 = 8c^2
1/4 = c^2
sqrt 1/4 = c
0.5 (or 1/2) = c <===
a * c = 2
0.5a = 2
a = 2/0.5
a = 4 <===
a = -16b
4 = -16b
4/-16 = b
-1/4 (or - 0.25) = b <===
