Hey there!!

A chicken has 1 head and 2 feet . A goat has 1 head and 4 feet

For heads, total = 40

Let us take the number of chickens as ' x ' and goats as ' y '

x + y = 40 ------------- ( 1 )

2x + 4y = 150 ----------- ( 2 )

Multiply the first equation with 2

2x + 2y = 80

2x + 4y = 150

Subtract the first equation from the first

2y = 70

y = 35

Number of goats = 35

substitute this in other equation

x + y = 40

x + 35 = 40

x = 5

Number of chickens are 4

Hope it helps!

A grocery store was having a sale. Darla had $15 in her wallet. She planned to purchase 2 gallons of fruit juice, 3 bags of chip
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: Darla would have to pay $17.69 before tax

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount in Darla's wallet = $15

She intends buying 2 gallons of fruit, 3 bags of chips and a box of cupcakes.

For the gallon of fruit

The first gallon of fruit cost $3.50

The second gallon of fruit has a discount of 50%. We have

(50/100) * 3.50

= $1.75

Therefore, the total amount for the two gallons of fruit =$3.50 + $1.75

= $5.25

Bag of chips

2 bags of chips cost $5 while 1 bag of chips cost $2.65

Since she intends to buy 3 bags of chips we have $5 + $2.65 = $7.65

1 box of cupcakes = $4.79

The total amount Darla is to pay for the groceries before tax equals

$5.25 + $7.65 + $4.79

= $17.69

This is more than the amount Darla has in her wallet

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 3, negative 3) and (negative 1, 5).
slega [8]

Answer:

y=20

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you can plug the first 2 coordinates into the slope equation (\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1} }) you will get 4 for the slope so for the equation for the parallel line you would get y=4x+4 and since the x=4 you could plug that in and you would get y=20 and x=4

Sati [7]

65Answer:

we can use sin to find the missing length

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio states that sin of an angle=opposite/hypotenuse

sin(65)=x/6 since we know the angle and the hypotenuse we need to figure out the opposite side

sin(65)=0.906307...

0.906307=x/6

Multiply 6 on both sides to isolate x

The answer is 5.4378...

Rounded to the hundredth is 5.44

A frame designer is making a triangular frame. She has two sides of length 18 inches and 27 inches. What are the possible length
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Therefore, the possible lengths (in whole inches) for the third side is

9 inches < x < 45 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

For the above question, we have a rule, the sum of the length of any two sides of the triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

Hence:

She has two sides of length 18 inches and 27 inches

Let the third side = x

Hence:

a) 18 + 27 > x

45 > x

b) 18 + x > 27

x > 27 - 18

x > 9

Therefore, the possible lengths (in whole inches) for the third side is

9 inches < x < 45 inches

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The Answer is: x / y = 8 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 2) - 4(2y - 1) + 2=0

3x - 6 - 8y + 4 + 2 = 0

3x - 8y = 0

3x = 8y

3x/y = 8

x / y = 8 / 3
