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>

Review the bar graph below:
Scrat [10]

Answer:

B. 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all the hours together to get 20. We make the assumption that 20 is 100% since it is our output value. We next represent the value we seek with x. From step 1, it follows that 100%=20. In the same vein, x%=2.5.This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100%=20(1)

x%=2.5(2)

By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS  (left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

\frac{100}{x}=\frac{20}{2.5}

Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides gives us this:

\frac{x}{100} =\frac{2.5}{20}

>> x=12.5\%  

Therefore, 2.5 is 12.5% of 20.

What is the justification for step 2 in the solution process?12 - x = 7x +32Step 1: -X = 7x + 20Step 2: -8x = 20
HACTEHA [7]
Answer:

The subtraction property of equality

Option A is correct

Explanation:

The given equation is:

12 - x = 7x + 32

Subtract 12 from both sides

12 - 12 - x = 7x + 32 - 12

-x = 7x + 20 (Step 1)

From step 1 above, subtract 7x from both sides

-x - 7x = 7x - 7x + 20

-8x = 20 (Step 2)

Since we subtracted 7x from both sides to get step 2, the justification for step 2 is the subtraction property of equality

When solving for -1/5(x-25)=7 what is the correct sequence of operations
slamgirl [31]

A sequence of operations that will get you to the solution is ...

... d. multiply each side by-5, add 25 to each side


_____

That is not the only correct sequence of operations. However the other ones listed here are incorrect ways to get to x = -10.


You can do whatever multiplication and addition you like to each side of the equation, but if those operations are poorly chosen, they will make finding the solution more difficult.

Korey is planning to open a comic book store. His store will cost $12,500 to open and will come with a $8,000 total annual opera
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

c. Korey will see an overall profit in his third year of business

Step-by-step explanation:

His cost for first year

= 12500+8000

=$ 20500

Profit first year= $12000

Net Profit first year= -$8500

Second year cost= $8000

Profit second year

= 12000+12000(0.06)

= 12000+720

=$ 12720

Net profit second year = -8500+12720-8000

= -3780

Third year

Cost = $8000

Profit= 12720+12720(0.06)

Profit=$13483.2

Net profit= 13483.2-8000-3780

Net profit= $1703.2
