Answer:there are 16 goats and 22 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of goats in the field.

Let y represent the number if chicken in the field.

After a quick count, you determine there are 38 heads and 108 feet in the field. A goat has one head. A chicken also has one head. It means that

x + y = 38

A goat has four legs. A chicken has 2 legs. It means that

4x + 2y = 108 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 38 - y into equation 1, it becomes

4(38 - y) + 2y = 108

152 - 4y + 2y = 108

- 4y + 2y = 108 - 152

- 2y = - 44

y = - 44/ - 2

y = 22

x = 38 - y = 38 - 22

x = 16

Find the 9th term of the geometric sequence 5, -25, 125, ...
arlik [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 5

r = -5

n = 9

t_9 = a r^(n - 1)

t_9 = (-1)^n*5 (-5) ^ 8

t_9 = (-1)^9 *  5 *  (-5) ^8

t_9 = -1 ( 1953125)

t_9 = - 1953125

A line passes through (-1,7)and(2, 10)
kumpel [21]
Slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (10 - 7)/(2 --1)
m = 3/3
m = 1

To find the equation
y = mx + b
m is slope
y = 1x + b
plug in one of the equations to solve for b
10 = 1(2) + b
10 = 2 + b
subtract 2 from both sides
8 = b

The equation is 
y = 1x + 8
or you can write it as
y = x + 8

Hope this helps

A rental car agency charges a flat fee of $110.00 plus $46.00 per day to rent a certain car. Another agency charges a fee of $70
Alinara [238K]
<span>The answer to this question would be: 5 days
In this question, there are two kinds of rent pricing and you are asked to find the number of days when both of them will charge the same price.
From the description, you can get an equation of each price which would look like this(x=number of day rent):

cost1= 110 + 46x
cost2= 70 + 54x

Then, the days when the price same would be:
cost1 = cost2
</span>110 + 46x= 70+54x
110-70= 54x - 46x
40= 8x
x=5
