Answer: a.) 72 of each type of animal, for a total of 216

b.) 16 grown cats, 4 kittens

Step-by-step explanation:

part a. It's a distribution (division) problem. The same number of each animal is distributed over some unknown number of troughs, but the total number of troughs adds up to 69. ( I hate to give this all away, as its a brilliant problem! )

Number of troughs for each animal type is How many needed by the number of animals per trough:

h/2 + c/3 + p/8 = 69  

Since we are given "the same number of horses, cows and pigs" we can substitute "x" for all.

\frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{3} +\frac{x}{8} = 69    Get a common denominator. 24 would work, 48 also.

48(\frac{x}{2} +\frac{x}{3} +\frac{x}{8} ) = 48(69)

24x + 16x + 6x = 3372

46x = 3372    x = 72

Proof:  calculate the number of each kind of trough

Horses 72/2 = 36, Cows 72/3 = 24  Pigs 72/8 = 9    36+24+9 = 69

part b.  5c + 3k = 92,   c + k = 20  Rearrange to get a value for c to substitute.

c = 20-k   5(20-k) +3k =92  Distribute and solve

100 - 5k + 3k = 92 becomes -2k = -8  so  k = 4 Substitute into the original

c + 4 = 20  becomes c=20-4,  so c = 16

Proof: 5c +3k = 92 Substitute values 5(16) + 3(4) = 92  80 + 12 = 92

Find a polynomial with a degree of 3, and the zeros 1,7, &amp; -4 with no other zeros.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

f(x)=(x+4)(x-7)(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

zeroes are when you plug in that x value and get y=0

therefore if you set x = that number and solve for 0 you get a "function"

multiplying these together will yield the complete 3rd degree polynomial

x = 1

x-1=0

x=7

x-7=0

x=-4

x+4=0

f(x)=(x+4)(x-7)(x-1)

If needed you could expand but I'm too lazy

Given lines p and q are parallel, find the value of x that makes each diagram true.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer: for a the answer is 140° and for b x=25°

Step-by-step explanation:

for a, when you have 2 parallel lines cut by a transversal,the corresponding angles are congruent. and the angle140 is congruent to the corresponding angle as they are vertical angles are congruent.

for b, angle x is congruent to the angle that is supplementary to 155 therefore 180-155=25°

When a man observed a sobriety checkpoint conducted by a police​ department, he saw 671671 drivers were screened and 77 were arr
kifflom [539]

Answer:

P(\overline W)=0.98957

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of drivers Screened = 671

Number Arrested for Driving While Intoxicating = 7

If the W denotes the event of screening a driver and getting someone who is intoxicated.

The Probability of W, P(W)=\frac{7}{671}=0.01043

  • The Probability P(\overline W) is the probability of the event of screening a driver and getting someone who is not intoxicated. Simply put, it is the Probability of the Complement of W.

From Probability Theorem,

P(W)+P(\overline W)=1\\Since \: P(W)=0.01043\\0.01043+P(\overline W)=1\\P(\overline W)=1-0.01043\\=0.98957
