Answer:

4 pigs and 8 ducks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of ducks = d

Let the number of pigs =p

There are 12 animals in the barn,

  • p+d=12

Each pig has 4 legs and each duck has 2 legs.

Therefore:

Total Number of Legs = 4p+2d

  • 4p+2d=32

We solve the two resulting equations simultaneously.

From the first equation

p=12-d

Substitute p=12-d into 4p+2d=32

4(12-d)+2d=32

48-4d+2d=32

-2d=32-48

-2d=-16

d=8

Recall:

p=12-d=12-8=4

Therefore, there are 4 pigs and 8 ducks on the farm.

Answer: 8 ducks, 4 pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

Farmer Faye has her ducks and of her pigs in her barn. She has 12 animals in the barn and the animals have 32 legs.

A duck has 2 legs and a pig has 4 legs.

Let duck be d and pig be p

d+p = 12 .............. i

2d+4p= 32 .......... ii

Multiply equation i by 2

Multiply equation ii by 1

2d+2p= 24 .......... iii

2d+4p= 32 ........... iv

Subtract equation iv from iii

-2p = -8

P = 8/2

P= 4

There are 4 pigs

Since there are 12 animals and we've calculated that there are 4 pigs, ducks will be 12-4 =8

There are 8 ducks

Suppose a coin is flipped and a card is drawn from the deck. What is the probability that the coin lands on tails and the card i
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 out of 13 would be equal to the amount of cards that would be a jack.

But you also have to take into regards the coin flip 50%chance so you would just could what the number is divided by to get the right answer. Since out come could be tails or head instead of just being one for sure for example.

Which function has the same y-intercept as the function y equals 2/3 x - 3​
aleksley [76]

We have the function y = \frac{2}{3} x -3 and we want to find a function that has the same y-intercept than the previous function.

First, let's find the y-intercept by subtituting 0 for 'x'.

y = \frac{2}{3} (0) -3 = -3

Now that we found that y-intercept =-3, any lineal function of the type: y = ax - 3 will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' can take all the real values.

Also, any quadratic function of the type: y=ax^{2} + bx - 3 will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' and 'b' can take all the real values.

Enter the simplified form of the complex fraction in the box. Assume no denominator equals zero.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

\frac{(9-x)}{3x}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\frac{\frac{2}{x-3}-\frac{3}{x}}{\frac{3}{x-3}}

step 1

Solve the numerator of the quotient

\frac{2}{x-3}-\frac{3}{x}=\frac{2x-3(x-3)}{(x-3)x}=\frac{2x-3x+9}{(x-3)x}=\frac{9-x}{(x-3)x}

step 2

substitute in the original expression

\frac{\frac{9-x}{(x-3)x}}{\frac{3}{x-3}}

\frac{(x-3)(9-x)}{3x(x-3)}

step 3

simplify

\frac{(9-x)}{3x}
