Answer:

y=10 ( number of acrobat)

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the elephant and y the acrobat

elephant has 4 legs and acrobat 2

4x+2y=40

x+y=15  ⇒x=15-y

substitute for x in the equation:

4(15-y)+2y=40

60-4y+2y=40

-2y=40-60

y=-20/-2

y=10 ( number of acrobat)

number of elephant=15-10=5 elephants

Product of four in the decreased by 14 times 6 gives 18
fenix001 [56]

I'm guessing we are solving for a unknown variable? This question is hard to understand, if you are not solving for a unknown variable than tell me in the comments and ill fix my answer

(X*4-14)*6=18

If I am correct your answer is 4.25

(4.25x4-14)*6=18

If I did the problem wrong than tell me. To me this question makes no sense so i'm not sure if I did it wrong.

In what ways do the agati and the Brazil nut tree depend on each other ​
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

In the Amazon rainforest, the agouti (a small rodent) and the brazil nut tree are very dependent on each other. The brazil nut tree drops its pods when they ripen, but they would not split open if it were not for the agouti's sharp teeth - the only forest animal which can split the tough pods. The agouti benefits by eating the brazil nuts, but like squirrels, agoutis hide and bury surplus nuts - and many of these take root, thus replenishing stocks of brazil nut trees.

The present shown below is a cube.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

2400cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so to find the surface area of a cube is actually quite simple:

All of the cubes faces have the same area and the surface area is simply the total area of all of the cubes faces.

So to calculate this we can simply multiply the area of one face by the number of total faces (6)

The area of one face is 20 x 20 = 400

The surface area of the cube is: 400 x 6 = 2400cm^2
