There are 140 legs on a planet zids have 5 legs and zods have 7 legs h=how many soulutions are there

Mathematics

Number of zids=x
number of zods=y
number of zid legs=5x
number of zod legs=7y

so
5x+7y=140
try to get it into slope intercept from so you can graph is (y=mx+b)
5x+7y=140
subtract 5x from both sides
7y=140-5x
divide both sides by 7
y=20-5/7x
y=-5/7x+20

plug in numbers for x and get numbers for y (you can only plug in multiples of 7 for x so that there are a whole number of zids and since you are counting, x and y must never be negative)

lets try 0 for x

y=-5/7(0)+20
y=20
 so x=0 and y=20 is an answer (if you can have only one of that species)


lets try 7 for x
y=-5/7(7)+20
y=-5+20
y=15

so x=7 and y=15 is an answer


lets try 14 for x

y=-5/7(14)+20
y=-10+20
y=10

so x=14 and y=10 is another answer


lets try 21 for x
y=-5/7(21)+20
y=-15+20
y=5

so x=21 and y=5 is another answer


lets try 28 for x
y=-5/7(28)-20
y=-20+20
y=0

so x=28 and y=0 is an answer (if there can be only one of a species)


if we go further, then y will be negative so the answers are

(x,y)
(0,20)
(7,15)
(14,10)
(21,5)
(28,0)

if it is allowed that only one species exists then there are 5 possible answers
if both must exist simultaneously, then there are only 3 answers

Solve the system of equations using substitution or elimination. Show all work for credit.
Tomtit [17]
Using substitution:
first you have to express one variable in terms of the other, in this we can express y in terms of x:
y =  \frac{ -  \frac{1}{2} x + 2}{3}  \\ y =  - x + 9

Since both expressions are equal to y, you have to equal both expressions like this:
\frac{  - \frac{ 1}{2}x + 2 }{3}  =  - x + 9
Now you can solve the equation:
-  \frac{1}{2} x + 2 = 3( - x + 9) \\   - \frac{ 1}{2}x  + 2 =  - 3x + 27 \\  \\  -  \frac{1}{2} x + 3x = 27 - 2 \\   \frac{5}{2} x = 25 \\ x =  \frac{(25)(2)}{5}  \\ x = 10
Knowing x=10, you can use any of the expressions we found before to find y. In this case I'm going to use y= -x+9 because it's simpler but boy should give you the same result

y =  - (10) + 9 \\ y =  - 1
So, the answer is x=10 and y=-1

Solve for x. Sqrt. x +3 / x+3 = 1
SashulF [63]

Answer:

x = -3 and  x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 +3 = 0

-3 + 3 = 1

thus that means 0 + 1 = 1

Which value, when placed in the box, would result in a system of equations with infinitely many solutions? y = -2x 4 6x 3y =
wariber [46]

The missing value is 12 in a system of equations with infinitely many solutions conditions.

It is given that in the system of equations there are two equations given:

\rm y =n -2x+4\\\rm and \\\rm 6x+3y= ?

It is required to find the missing value in the second equation.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

We have equations:

\rm y = -2x+4 ....(1)\\  \\\rm 6x+3y= ?  ....(2)

Let's suppose the missing value is 'Z'

We know that the two pairs of equations have infinitely many solutions if and if they have the same coefficients of variables and the same constant on both sides.

From equation (1)

\rm y = -2x+4 \\\\\rm 2x+y=4(multiply both the sides by 3)

\rm 6x+3y=12 ...(3)

By comparing the equation (2) and (3), we get

M = 12

Thus, the missing value is 12 in a system of equations with infinitely many solutions conditions.

Kendra found this relationship between the quantities in the table.
slava [35]

Answer:

Kendra should have multiplied the x-values by 75 to get the y-values

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Table

X|| Y

1 || 75

2 || 150

3 || 225

4 || 300

5 || 375

Given that Kendra multiply x by 7.5 to get y

The relationship of x and y can be calculated as thus;

y = rx

Where y and x are the values at the y and x column respectively and r is the constant of proportionality

When y = 75, x = 1.

Plug in these values in the above formula

y = rx becomes

75 = r * 1

75 = r

r = 75

When y = 150, x = 2

150 = r * 2

Multiply both sides by ½

150 * ½ = r * 2 * ½

75 = r

r = 75

When y = 225, x = 3

225 = r * 3

Multiply both sides by ⅓

225 * ⅓ = r * 3 * ⅓

75 = r

r = 75

Notice that r remains 75 and the difference between y values is 75

If you apply these formula on when y = 300 or 375 and when x = 4 or 5, the constant of proportionality will remain The value of 75.

Hence, Kendra mistake is that; Kendra should have multiplied the x-values by 75 to get the y-values
