Answer:

2 cows and 5 chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE: This will be solved using simultaneous equations.

Let x = cows and y = chickens

1. form two equations

4x + 2y = 18 ... (1)

x + y = 7 .... (2)

2. make y (or x) the subject of one equation

x + y = 7

y = 7 - x ... (3)

3. Substitute (3) into (1)

4x + 2( 7 - x) = 18

4. solve for x

4x + 14 - 2x = 18

2x = 4

x = 2

5. Now substitute x value into equation (2)

x + y = 7

2 + y = 7

y = 5

∴ cows (x) = 2

chickens (y) = 5

Use words to describe the following sequence. Then find the next three numbers in the sequence .49, 69, 81, 100.

balandron [24]

<span>The numbers (not counting 69) are all perfect squares. They are 7 squared, (what should be, possibly) 8 squared, 9 squared, and 10 squared. The next three numbers in the sequence would then be 121, 144, and 169.</span>

Elis [28]

Y=mx+b

Y1-Y2/X1-X2

14-10/5-3 = 4/2 = 2

Plug in (3,10):
(10)=2(3)+b

Solve:
10=6+b

B=4
M=2

Complete the division problem by determining the number that should be placed in the box.

Assoli18 [71]

The solution 349 is given, and its number 3, 4 and 9 determine how many times 13 can be subtracted:

The first subtraction is 3x13 (x100) = 3900
The second subtraction is 4x13 (x10) = 520
The third subtraction is 6x13 = 78

So the answer is 520, which is also what you get when you subtract 78 from 598 of course.
