Answer:

9 pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following numbers of heads:

pigs (p) + chickens (c) = 16 animal heads (1)

And the following numbers of feet:

4p + 2c = 50 animal feet   (2)

From equation (1):

p = 16 - c (3)

By entering equation (3) into (2) we have:

4(16 - c) + 2c = 50

64 - 4c + 2c = 50

c = 7

Now, entering the value of c into equation (3) we have the next value of p:

p = 16 - c

p = 16 - 7

p = 9

Therefore, the number of pigs that Henry has is 9.

I hope it helps you!

Igoryamba

Step-by-step explanation:

an = n² + 4

Now the first four terms of the sequence are

a1 = 1² + 4 = 5

a2 = 2² + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8

a3 = 3² + 4 = 9 + 4 = 13

a4 = 4² + 4 = 16 + 4 = 20

The terms are

In a survey of 300 house wires. It was discovered
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

46 housewives read all three magazines.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

        n(A) = 150

        n(B) = 200

        n(C) = 156

        n(A∩B) = 48

        n(B∩C) = 60

        n(A∩C) = 52

         n(A∪B∪C) = 300

so we know the relation as:

  n(A∪B∪C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A∩B) - n(B∩C) - n(A∩C) + n(A∩B∩C)

∴ n(A∩B∩C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A∩B) - n(B∩C) - n(A∩C)  - n(A∪B∪C)

                    = 150 + 200+ 156 - 48 - 60 - 52 - 300

                   = 46

Hence the number of housewives that had read all three magazine is 46.
