Answer:
2 cows and 5 chickens.
Step-by-step explanation:
NOTE: This will be solved using simultaneous equations.
Let x = cows and y = chickens
1. form two equations
4x + 2y = 18 ... (1)
x + y = 7 .... (2)
2. make y (or x) the subject of one equation
x + y = 7
y = 7 - x ... (3)
3. Substitute (3) into (1)
4x + 2( 7 - x) = 18
4. solve for x
4x + 14 - 2x = 18
2x = 4
x = 2
5. Now substitute x value into equation (2)
x + y = 7
2 + y = 7
y = 5
∴ cows (x) = 2
chickens (y) = 5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
eq. of line parallel to AB is y=2x+a
if it passes through (3,-2) then
-2=2×3+a
a=-2-6=-8
y=2x-8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
m is number of miles
A: 45+0.21m (45 is the initial cost)
B: 28+0.38m (28 is the initial cost)
To know how in many miles the cost will be equal,
45+0.21m=28+0.38m
0.38m-0.21m=45-28
0.17m=17
m=17/0.17 = 100
So, at 100 miles the cost will be same for company A and B.
Answer:
<em>no solution</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
6x+ 3(-2x+4)=-12
6x-6x+12=-12
12 is not equal to -12.
