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!

Show me how to solve 10>x/2 +4
postnew [5]

Treat this as if the inequality sign was the same thing as an equal sign. Most of the equality rules apply to inequalities (with a few exceptions)

10>\dfrac{x}{2}+4

Subtract both sides by 4

10-4>\dfrac{x}{2}+4-4

6>\dfrac{x}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2

2\times6>\dfrac{x}{2}\times2

12>x

We want the unknown variable on the left side (because it looks nicer)

x

What is the similarity ratio of the smaller to larger similar cones?
Flura [38]

V=1024 pi m^3 and v=250 pi m^3
the similarity ratio of the smaller to larger similar cones is 
k= V/v=1024 pi m^3/250 pi m^3= 4.096
the great cone is 4.096 times of the small cone (in volume)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-2 1) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x-2y=8 ?
monitta
4x-2y=8 ==> y=2x-4 (to better show you what I mean) 

2 lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m the coefficient of x).

So y=mx + b // y =2x-4 means m=2 & y=mx + b, becomes y=2x + b.
Moreover they are telling us that this function passes by (-2,1), where -2 represents x & 1, represents y. To calculate b , replace x & y by their values:
y=2x+b ==> 1 = 2(- 2) + b==> 1 = -4 + b ==> b= 5. Finally the equation is
y=-2x+5
