Set the number of chickens as x and number of cows as <span>y
</span>so the farmer has total 28 animals
so x+y=28 
you know that since the animals are healthy
chickens will have 2 legs    and
cows will have 4 legs
the total number of legs are 64
so 2x+4y=64
since you want to find the number of cows 
so from the first equation <span>x+y=28
</span>we will get another equation <span>x=28-y
</span>then plug into <span>2x+4y=64
2(28-y)+4y=64
56-2y+4y=64
56+2y=64
-56      -56
2y=8
y=4
</span>

Simplify the following:
(5 i^3 t^4)/7 - 2
i^3 = i^2×i = (-1) i = -i:
(5×-i t^4)/7 - 2
Put each term in (5 (-i) t^4)/7 - 2 over the common denominator 7:
(5 (-i) t^4)/7 - 2 = (-5 i t^4)/7 - 14/7:
(-5 i t^4)/7 - 14/7
(-5 i t^4)/7 - 14/7 = (-5 i t^4 - 14)/7:
Answer:  (-5 i t^4 - 14)/7

Write the equation for the graph shown below
ira [324]

Answer:

y=0.5x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the gradient of the line. Since x goes up by 0.5 every time y goes up by 1, the gradient is 0.5. Then you need to find the y intercept which is what x equals when y is equal to 0. When y equals zero x equals negative 1. If ylu use the equation y=mx+c where m=gradient and c=y intercept you get y=0.5x-1

A cone is 3 inches high and has a base with a surface area of 7 square inches. What is the volume of the cone?
lawyer [7]

Answer: the answer should be 7

Step-by-step explanation:  V=πr2h

3=π·1.52·3

3≈7.06858

you can find the radius for the area of the base 7 by dividing by \pi like such 7/3.1459 the squared because remember its in r2 form which give you 1.5 then plug this in for one of two ways to solve A·\pi 1/3 or V=πr2h
