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!

What is the inequality of 0 < a < 6 on a numberline
pickupchik [31]

The given inequality is expressed as

0 < a < 6

This means that the values of a that would satisfy the inequality are numbers between 0 and 6 but both 0 and 6 are not inclusive. This would be shown by not making solid circles at 0 and 6. The number line is shown below

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = one-fifth x + 4 and that passes through (5,–4)?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

y = -5x + 21

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals.

The given line has a slope of 1/5, so the perpendicular line will have a slope of -5.

y = -5x + B

-4 = -5(5) + B

B = -4 + 25 = 21

y = -5x + 21

A company dyes two sizes of rugs. A small rug requires 8 hours for dyeing and a medium-size rug requires 12 hours for dyeing. Th
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

8x + 12y < 240

Step-by-step explanation:

If x equals the number of small rugs and y equals the number of medium rugs dyed, we would need to multiply both variables by the number of hours taken to dye each sized rug. It takes 8 hours to dye a small rug (8x), and 12 hours to dye a medium rug (12y).

Then, to find the total number of hours they dye them in, add the terms together.

8x + 12y

The company must dye the rugs in less than 240 hours, so we will use a 'less than' (inequality) sign (it cannot be 240, or any more than 240).

8x + 12y < 240

Dominic is driving on a long road trip. He currently has 10 gallons of gas in his car. Each hour that he drives, his car uses up
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

(a) Equation: T_n = 11.25 - 1.25n

(b) 7.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Current Gas = 10 gallon

Every Hour = -1.25 gallon

Solving for (a): An equation for the scenario

This question represents an Arithmetic Progression and will be solved using the following formula:

T_n = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a = 10

d = -1.25

Substitute these values in the formula

T_n = 10 + (n - 1) * -1.25

T_n = 10 -1.25n +1.25

Collect Like Terms

T_n = 10 + 1.25 - 1.25n

T_n = 11.25 - 1.25n

Solving for (b): In this case, n - 3

Substitute 3 for n in T_n = 11.25 - 1.25n

T_3 = 11.25 - 1.25 * 3

T_3 = 11.25 - 3.75

T_3 = 7.5

<em>7.5 gallon of gas left</em>
