Answer: x = 27, y = 23


Explanation:

x = chickens
y = horses

║ x + y = 50
║ 2x + 4y = 146

║ 2x + 2y = 100
║ 2x + 4y = 146

(2x + 4y = 146) - (2x + 2y = 100)

2y = 46
y = 23                    <span> <<<<<<<< We found y ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sub y = 23 into </span> x + y = 50

x+ 23 = 50

x = 50 - 23

x = 27                   <<<<<<<< We found x ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Determine whether each equation is True or False. In case you find a "False" equation, explain why is False.​
elixir [45]

Answer:

(1) TRUE.

(2) FALSE.

(3) FALSE.

(4) TRUE.

(5) FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) \sqrt{32} = 2^{\frac{5}{2} }

2^{\frac{5}{2} } = (\sqrt{2} )^5 = (\sqrt{2} \ \times \ \sqrt{2} \ \times \ \sqrt{2} \ \times \ \sqrt{2} \ \times \ \sqrt{2}) = 4\sqrt{2}\\\\\sqrt{32} = \sqrt{16 \ \times \ 2}\ =  \ \sqrt{16} \ \times \ \sqrt{2} \ = \ 4\sqrt{2}

Thus, the equation is TRUE.

(2) 16^{\frac{3}{8} } = 8^2

16^{\frac{3}{8} } =(2^4)^{\frac{3}{8} } = 2^\frac{3}{2} }= (\sqrt{2} )^3 = (\sqrt{2} \ \times \ \sqrt{2} \ \times \ \sqrt{2}) = 2\sqrt{2} \\\\8^2 = 64

Thus, the equation is FALSE.

(3) 4^{\frac{1}{2} } = \sqrt[4]{64}

4^{\frac{1}{2} }= \sqrt{4} = 2\\\\\sqrt[4]{64}  = (64)^{\frac{1}{4} } = (2^6)^{\frac{1}{4} }= 2^{\frac{6}{4} } = 2^{\frac{3}{2} }=(\sqrt{2} )^3 = (\sqrt{2}  \times \sqrt{2}  \times \sqrt{2} ) = 2\sqrt{2}

Thus, the equation is FALSE.

(4) 2^8 = (\sqrt[3]{16} )^6

2^8 = 256\\\\ (\sqrt[3]{16} )^6 = (16)^{\frac{6}{3} } = (2^4)^{\frac{6}{3} } = (2)^{\frac{24}{3} } = 2^8 = 256

Thus, the equation is TRUE.

(5) (\sqrt{64} )^{\frac{1}{3} } = 8^{\frac{1}{6} }\\\\

8^{\frac{1}{6} } = (2^3)^{\frac{1}{6} } = 2^{\frac{3}{6} } = 2^{\frac{1}{2} } = \sqrt{2} \\\\(\sqrt{64} )^{\frac{1}{3} } = (2^6)^{\frac{1}{3} } = 2^{\frac{6}{3} } = 2^2 = 4

Thus, the equation is FALSE.

The answer is -60. this is because the signs implemented in front of numbers give it a sort pattern .

when there are two additions the last number after the positive sign will give a positive number 1 greater than the initial number for example + 5 + 6. Answer afterward will be + 7 and for negative sign eg: - 7 - 8 in the question will give the answer -8 the same number after a negative (-) sign .
Hope this helps
