Answer: 5 branches and 16 birds.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the number of birds is B, and the number of branches is N.
First we have the equation:
B = 3*N + 1
(3 birds per branch + 1 that was flying around)
for the second equation we have:
B = 4*(N - 1)
(4 birds per branch, but one branch had no birds on it, so there are N -1 branches used)
now we can write:
3*N + 1 = 4*(N - 1)
3*N + 1 = 4*N - 4
4 + 1 = 4*N - 3*N
5 = N
So we had 5 branches, now we can replace it in one of the equations and find the number of birds.
B = 3*N + 1 = 3*5 + 1 = 16
Answer:
x = 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
I got this answer by assuming the triangles were congurent, if they are not, the answer may vary.
first, make an equation:
x + 8 = 3x - 9
bring 3x to the other side, by subtracting it
-2x + 8 = -9
Subtract 8
-2x = -17
divide by -2
x = 8.5
Then, just sub x into the formulas
Answer:
The two linear equation
x + y = 19.... Equation 1
0.55x + 0.75y = 12.65... Equation 2
Nedra purchased
9 Apples and 11 Oranges
Step-by-step explanation:
Nedra purchased apples and oranges at the grocery store. which two linear equations can be used to find the number of apples and oranges?
Let the number of apples be represented by x
The number of oranges by represented by y.
Hence,
Apples are $0.55 each and oranges are $0.75 each. If she spent a total of $12.65 for 19 pieces of fruit,
Hence:
x + y = 19..... Equation 1
x = 19 - y
$0.55 × x + $0.75 × y = $12.65
0.55x + 0.75y = 12.65.....Equation 2
Hence: we substitute 19 - y for x in Equation 2
0.55(19 - y) + 0.75y = 12.65
10.45 - 0.55y + 0.75y = 12.65
-0.55y+ 0.75y = 12.65 - 10.45
0.20y = 2.2
y = 2.2/0.20
y = 11 oranges
x = 19 - y
x = 19 - 11
x = 8 Apples
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Set y to 15 and solve</u>
<u />
<em>Add 10 to both sides</em>
<em />
<em>Multiply both sides by 5</em>
<em />
Answer:
Standard form is Ax + By = C, or By = C - Ax.
Dividing both sides by B, we get y = C/B - (A/B)x
Here the y intercept is C/B, and the slope is -A/B.
