<h3><u>The value of x is 19.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of y is 4.</u></h3>

x = 3 + 4y

x + y = 23

Because we have a value for x we can plug it directly into the second equation.

3 + 4y + y = 23

Subtract 3 from both sides.

4y + y = 20

Combine like terms.

5y = 20

Divide both sides by 5.

y = 4

Plug this value for x back into the original equation.

x = 3 + 4(4)

x = 3 + 16

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Claim: There's 14 Goats and 9 Chickens!!

Data:

Working with the Provided Information.

Let the Number of goats be x

let the Number of Chickens be y

x + y = 23..... (i)

Since the goat Possesses Two Pair of Legs... Which is a Total of 4 Legs... We say Let its Contribution be 4x.

The Chicken has Only a Pair Of Legs...Which is a total of 2 legs.... We say let its contribution be 2y

4x + 2y = 74 .....(ii)

BRINGING BOTH EQUATIONS TOGETHER.

x + y = 23

4x + 2y = 74

From Eqn i

x= 23 - y

Substitute into eqn ii

4(23 - y ) + 2y = 74

92 - 4y + 2y = 74

92 - 2y = 74

2y = 92 - 74

2y = 18

y= 9.

Substitute y into any of the eqns to get x

x + y = 23

x + 9=23

x = 23 - 9

x = 14

This simply proves that there are 14 Goats and 9 Chickens!!!.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

The surface area of a cone is given by the formula s=3.14l+3.14r2 solve for the formula for l
vfiekz [6]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

l = s/3.14 - r^2

Discussion:  

s = 3.14 l + 3.14 r^2        =>  divide both sides by 3.14

s/3.14 = l + r^2               => subtract r^2 from both sides

(s/3.14) - r^2 = l

Thank you,

MrB

The graph shows a proportional relationship between the variables Y and X. Explain how you know there is a proportional relation
White raven [17]

Answer:

If the line is straight pointing diagonally to the top right corner then it is a proportinal relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

if the line is diagonally upwards to the right, then if x increase, y increases, and if x decreases, then y increases.

for an equation, x must be positive. for example

y=-2x is not proportional but y=3x is

for the question in the photo the equation is y=x
