Answer:

32 chickens and 28 pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a solve the system question. Call C the number of chickens and P the number of pigs. Each chicken and each pig has one head so the first equation is:

C+P=60

Each chicken has 2 legs and each pig has 4 legs so the second equation is:

2C+4P=176

To solve by substitution, first rearrange the first equation to isolate C:

C=60-P

Now substitute that into the second equation and solve for P:

2(60-P)+4P=176\\120-2P+4P=176\\2P=56\\P=28

So there are 28 pigs. Now sub that into either of the original equations. I'll use the first:

C+28=60\\C=32

There are 32 chickens.

Lines l, m, and n are parallel.<br><br> What is the value of x?<br><br><br> °
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Since you know the given angle is 46deg. You also know that a straight line is equal to 180deg. So it's a supplementary angle, therefore you subtract 46 from 180 and get 134. And since the l, m, and n are parallel, they have congruent angles. So x = 134deg.

In a well-shuffled, standard 52 card deck, what is the probability that a card is a Queen, given that it is a black card
dlinn [17]
There are two black queens in a standard deck, so the probability is 2/52 or 1/26.

If instead you know you pulled a black card from the deck and you’re wondering what the probably is that it’s a queen, then it’s 2/26, since there are still 2 black queens, but only 26 black cards.
