Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c be the number of cows and d be the number of ducks.

c cows have 4c feet, d ducks have 2d feet. In total, c cows and d ducks have

4c + 2d = 148 feet.

Divide it by 2:

2c + d = 74.

This gives us that the number of ducks is even and cannot be 0 (because farmer Brwn has ducks). The minimum possible number of ducks is 2, so the maximum possible number of cows is 36.

Im having a hard time on this question and I hope you can help.
Masja [62]

The answer would be x ≠ 0

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First start with the left side, doing distributive property

So... -2(x) = -2x and -2(5) = -10 Therefore on the left side you now have -2x -10

Next do the same on the right side

-2(x) = - 2x and -2(-2) = 4 so you have -2x + 4 + 5 and you add 4 and 5, leaving you with -2x + 9

Now that you have simplified both sides the problem now looks like this:

-2x - 10 = -2x + 9

Because you have equal terms on both sides (-2) those cancel out so you have -10 = 9

Just from looking at this we know that the statement is false because -1o does not equal 9

*The symbol, "≠" means not equal to"

Write the equation of a circle given the center (-4, 4) and raduis r = 5.
Len [333]

Answer:

A) (x+4)^2+(y-4)^2=25

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2 where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius. If (h,k)\rightarrow(-4,4) and r=5, then:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2\\\\(x-(-4))^2+(y-4)^2=5^2\\\\(x+4)^2+(y-4)^2=25

Therefore, the equation of the circle is (x+4)^2+(y-4)^2=25
