4x + 2(40-x) = 112
4x + 80 - 2x = 112
2x = 32
x = 16

so 16 cows and 24 chickens

9/(x - 8) = 4/5 how to solve this proportion

ICE Princess25 [194]

$\frac{9}{x-8}=\frac{4}{5}$
Cross multiply:
$(9)(5)=(4)(x-8)$
Simplify:
$45=4x-32$
Group like terms:
$77=4x$
Solve for x by division:
$x=\frac{77}{4}$
$x=19.25$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ooooh I loved these. ok. so if you have a set of lines like this, we will just use an "x" as an example for lines crossing. if you have 100 as the angle on the top, then the angle on the bottom will be exactly the same. the top and bottom are the same angle ALWAYS. the angles across from each other are the same. because brainly will timeout on me if I stop typing, I will post this and later I will post a picture of the first few finished as an example so you get what i'm talking.
