Given information:
Total animals  = 13
Total legs = 40

Assumed all animals have their legs intact ... 
Pig = 4 legs
Chicken = 2legs

Assumed all chickens:
Total legs = 2 x 13 = 26
Extra legs = 40 - 26 = 14
Extra legs belongs to the pig (each pig has extra 2 legs)
14 ÷ 2 = 7 
There are 7 pigs
13 - 7 = 6 
There are 6 chickens

---------- OR ALGEBRAICALLY --------

Let the number of pigs be x and number of chickens be y
pigs = x
chickens = y
x + y = 13 -------------- (1)
4x + 2y = 40 ---------- (2)
From (1):
x + y = 13
x = 13 - y -------------- sub into (2)
4(13 - y) + 2y = 40
52 - 4y + 2y = 40
52 - 2y = 40
2y = 52 - 40
2y = 12
y = 6 ----------- sub into (1)
x + 6 = 13
x = 13 - 6
x = 7

x = 7, y = 6
pigs = 7, chickens = 6

The temperature of earth may be measured either by thermometers on the ground, which is an accurate but tedious method, or by se
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is the most accurate to estimate the difference

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is the best statistical method that can be used to determine the systematic difference between the mean values of two given set of population in any random experiment

In this case the two set of populations would be the one in which temperature is measured by thermometers on ground and sensor mounted in a space satellite.

Graph the two lines 2x + 3y = 18 , 3x -4y > 16.
Dmitrij [34]
The domain and range for each line is all real numbers. This is because all numbers are possible to input into x and all y values exist. 

The slope of the first line is -2/3 and the y intercept is 6. You can reach this conclusion by solving for y (putting it in slope intercept form). 

The slope of the second one is 3/4. and the y intercept is all real numbers greater than -4. This is true because it is an inequality and you can find these numbers by solving for y.

George bought 7.5 cases of pancake mix for his diner. A case contains 12 1.3-pound boxes. How many pounds of pancake mix did Geo
Ilya [14]
In order to get the answer to this problem, first we have to find out how many pounds does one case of pancake mix have. We know that one box has 1.3 pounds of pancake mix. We also know that one case has 12 boxes. So first, we multiply 1.3 to 12.  The answer we will get is 15.6. One case of pancake mix has a total of 15.6 pounds of pancake mix. Now we also know there are 7.5 cases that George bought. So in order to get the total pounds George bought, we multiply 15.6 to 7.5. So all in all, George bought 117 pounds of Pancake Mix.
