Answer:
206 Cornish hens
169 turkeys
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of Cornish hens sold. Then c-37 is the number of turkeys sold. The total sales would be ...
... c + (c-37) = 375
... 2c = 412 . . . . collect terms, add 37
... c = 206 . . . . Cornish hens sold
... (c-37) = 169 . . . turkeys sold

<em>Comment on this type of problem</em>
Note that the solution to this problem is that the larger number (number of cornish hens) is half the sum of the total and the difference: (375+37)/2 = 206. This is the general solution for this type of "sum and difference" problem.
The larger contributor is half the total plus half the difference; the smaller contributor is half the total minus half the difference.
Cornish hens = (1/2)(375 +37) = 206
Turkeys = (1/2)(375 -37) = 169
Your answer should be 17 inches.
2.5 + 2.5 = 5 7 + 3 = 10 + 5 + 2 = 17.
I hope this helps answer your question. Have a great day
Answer:
b = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
All quadratic equations are formed in the format of 
+ bx + c = 0
Using this formula, we can re-arrange the equation to fit the given format.
- 2 = -5x
+ 5x - 2 = 0
5 is plugged in for "b" in this equation, therefore b = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
45% of number = 180
=> 100% of number = 180 * (100/45) = 400.
Hence the number is 400.
