Answer:
(x, y) = (2, -1.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 2y = -1
5x - 4y = 16
<=>
(2)x + (2)2y = (2)(-1)
5x - 4y = 16
<=>
2x + 4y = -2
5x - 4y = 16
<=>
7x = 14
<=>
x = 2
(*)x + 2y = -1
=> 2 + 2y = -1
=> 2y = -3
=> y = -1.5
=> (x, y) = (2, -1.5)
Let C be the number of cats and B be the number of birds.
Each cat has 4 legs while each bird has 2 legs. Thus,
4C + 2B = 22
2B = 22 - 4C
Each cat and each bird has 2 eyes
2C + 2B = 16
Substituting 2B
2C + 22 - 4C = 16
2C = 6
C = 3
2B = 22 - 4(3)
B = 5
2 cats and 5 birds
Answer:
5 units
Step-by-step explanation;
We can use the formula for finding the length or magnitude of line joining two points.
Length = √((x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²)
The points joining the line are C (-1,4) and D (2,0)
Length = √((2+1)² + (0-4)²)
= √((3²) + (-4)²)
= √ (9+16)
= √25
= 5 units
