Answer: there are 50 humans and 24 horses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of humans in the horse racing area.

Let y represent the number of horses in the horse racing area.

He counted 74 heads. A human has one head and a horse also has one head. It means that

x + y = 74

He counted 196 legs. A human has 2 legs and a horse has 4 legs. It means that

2x + 4y = 196 - - - - - - - -- - -1

Substituting x = 74 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2(74 - y) + 4y = 196

148 - 2y + 4y = 196

- 2y + 4y = 196 - 148

2y = 48

y = 48/2 = 24

x = 74 - y = 74 - 24

x = 50

if a shoelace drawer is 12.49 inches and a paperclip drawer is 4.579 inches about how many inches wider is the shoelace drawer t
sammy [17]

The shoelace drawer is 7.911 inches wider than the paperclip drawer.

<h3>Measurement difference between two drawers</h3>

The height of shoelace drawer is = 12.49 inches

The height of paperclip drawer is = 4.579 inches

Therefore the measurement difference between the two drawer is = 12.49 inches - 4.579 inches

= 7.911 inches

Therefore, the shoelace drawer is 7.911 inches wider than the paperclip drawer.

If the graphs of the equations in a system of linear equations coincide with each other, what does that tell you about the solut
salantis [7]
 If by "coincide", in other words this is also known as intersect, it means that the solution to the system is that intersection point. For instance, if the intersection point of the 2 lines is (5,7) on the graph, it means that in both equations, x = 5 and y = 7. If you mean that the 2 equations result in the same line, it means that the 2 equations were really equal, but that one could be basic to be identical with the other. For example, if you have 2x + 2y = 8 and 4x + 4y = 16, they will give you the same line, and you can see that if you divide that second equation by 2 all the way crossways, it merely shows the first equation.
