It is 546.4583333333333, which would simplify to 546.46 if to the hundredths place or 546.5 to the tens place
Answers:
- Total equation: x+y = 80
- Legs equation: 2x+4y = 248
- How many ducks? 36
- How many cows? 44
====================================================
Further explanation:
- x = number of ducks
- y = number of cows
x+y = 80 is the total equation (ie the head count equation) since we assume each animal has 1 head, and there are 80 heads total.
That equation can be solved to y = 80-x after subtracting x from both sides.
The legs equation is 2x+4y = 248 because...
- 2x = number of legs from all the ducks only
- 4y = number of legs from all the cows only
- 2x+4y = total number of legs from both types of animals combined
We're told there are 248 legs overall, so that's how we ended up with 2x+4y = 248
------------
Let's plug y = 80-x into the second equation and solve for x.
2x+4y = 248
2x+4( y ) = 248
2x+4( 80-x ) = 248
2x+320-4x = 248
-2x+320 = 248
-2x = 248-320
-2x = -72
x = -72/(-2)
x = 36
There are 36 ducks
Now use this x value to find y
y = 80-x
y = 80-36
y = 44
There are 44 cows.
------------
Check:
36 ducks + 44 cows = 80 animals total
36*2 + 44*4 = 72 + 176 = 248 legs total
The answers are confirmed.
Answer:
y = -4.3
Step-by-step explanation:
40 = -10(y + 0.3) <em>{Step 1: Use the distributive property to multiply -10 by y + 0.3}</em>
40 = -10y + -10(0.3)
40 = -10y - 3 <em>{Step 2: Add 3 to both sides.}</em>
40 + 3 = -10y
43 = -10y <em>{Step 3: Divide both sides by -10}</em>
43/-10 = y
-4.3 = y
y equals -4.3.
