Hi. In order to solve this word problem, you must make two equations and solve them together. To make it easy, we will let the letter "p" represent the pigs and the letter "c" for the chickens. So our first equation will be:

p + c = 13

Now to count the legs - we know that pigs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 so our next equation will be:

2c + 4p = 40

Using the first equation we see that c = 13 - p Now we insert this into the second equation and solve:

2x(13-p) +4 pm = 40
26 - 2p + 4p = 40
2p = 14
p = 7 (there are 7 pigs so now we know there are 6 chickens.

Answer: 7 pigs and 6 chickens

I hope this helps.

Take care,
Diana

Find the sun and express it in simplest form.(-3s-4c+1)+(-3s+3c)
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

-6s-c+1

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3s-4c+1)+(-3s+3c)

We have been given the above expression. To find the sum, we simply collect the like terms and combine them;

(-3s-4c+1)+(-3s+3c) = -3s + -3s -4c + 3c + 1

-3s + -3s -4c + 3c + 1 = -3s - 3s + 3c - 4c + 1

-3s - 3s + 3c - 4c + 1 = -6s - c + 1

Therefore;

(-3s-4c+1)+(-3s+3c) = -6s-c+1

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

g = 6 / 3 x 2

Step-by-step explanation:

g = 6 / 3 x 2 because 92 / 2 = 46. 46 x 3 = 138. so / 3 = 46 x 2 = 92

Right or wrong ????
tangare [24]

Answer:

c   1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You are incorrect.

We are going from ABCDEFGH to A'B'C'D'E'F'G'H'. We are going from the large octagon to the small octagon. The scale factor of a dilation is the number you multiply the original lengths to get the lengths of the dilation.

scale~factor = \dfrac{length~of~dimension~in~dilated~image}{length~of~corresponding~dimension~in~original~figure}

Look at point (6, 0) which becomes (3, 0) in the dilation.

The distance from the origin to (6, 0) is 6 units.

The distance from the origin to (3, 0) is 3 units.

scale factor = dilated/original = 3/6 = 1/2

The scale factor of the dilation is 1/2.

Also look at segment AB whose length is 4. The length of segment A'B' is 2.

scale factor = dilated/original = 2/4 = 1/2

Answer: 1/2
