Answer :
The value of x is 10.
Explanation :
Given that,
TM = (2x+8) m
ML = (3x-2) m
If a man (M) is standing halfway between a tree (T) and a lamppost (L).
The half distance is TM and half distance is TL.
So, Both half distance will be equal.
We need to calculate the value of x
Using given data
Put the value into the formula
Hence, The value of x is 10.
Answer:
5 pigs
Step-by-step explanation:
A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks. Altogether there are 42 legs. How many pigs are there?
Let us represent:
Number of pigs = x
Number of ducks = y
Our system of equations is given as:
A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks.
x + y = 16...... Equation 1
x = 16 - y
Altogether there are 42 legs.
Ducks have 2 legs(feet) , pigs have 4 legs,
4x + 2y = 42..... Equation 2
We substitute
16 - y for x in Equation 2
Hence:
4(16 - y) + 2y = 42
64 - 4y + 2y = 42
Collect like terms
- 4y + 2y = 42 - 64
-2y =- 22
y = -22/-2
y = 11 ducks
Solving for x.
x = 16 - y
x = 16 - 11
x = 5 pigs
Therefore, we have 5 pigs
We know that 3/10*20=6 students are eating salads.
We also know that 3/5*20=12 students are eating sandwiches.
Assuming each person only eats one thing, there are 20-12-6=2 students eating lunches other than salads or sandwiches.
I think the correct answer is A.or if not isD.
