Answer:

27 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

A chicken farmer also has cows for a total of 30 animals

Both animals have a total of 66 legs

Let a represent the number of chicken

Let b represent the number of cows

a + b= 30........equation 1

Since a chicken has only two legs and a cow has four leg then, the expression can be represented as

2a + 4b= 66........equation 2

From equation 1

a + b= 30

a = 30-b

Substitute 30-b for a in equation 2

2a + 4b= 66

2(30-b) + 4b= 66

60 - 2b + 4b= 66

60 + 2b= 66

2b= 66-60

2b= 6

b= 6/2

b= 3

Substitute 3 for b in equation 1

a + b = 30

a + 3=30

a= 30-3

a= 27

Hence the farmer has 27 chickens

PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY <3 I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1: 130

2: 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to equal 180

So to find the measure of the missing angles, we subtract the measure of the known angles from 180

For #1

∠B = 180 - 50

180 - 50 = 130

Hence ∠B = 130

For#2

∠D = 180 - 110

180 - 110 = 70  

Hence, ∠D = 70

Two lines, C and D, are represented by the following equations:
guapka [62]

Answer:

(−2, 3), because both lines pass through this point

Step-by-step explanation:

The meaning of "solution to the system of equations" is that both lines intersect at the solution point. That is, they both pass through that point.

Sarah is 6 years older than Amy.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem has got to be addition.

The sentence "Sarah is 6 years older than Amy." does not include any hint of subtracting, or multiplying.

A hint of multiplying in a expression would be the word 'times', like "Brandon is 6 times the age of Emily" which eliminates D.

A hint of subtraction in an expression would be the word 'less', like "Brandon is 6 less the age of Emily." which eliminates A and C.

The word 'older' indicates addition, or adding, and if it would have been subtraction, the keyword would be 'younger' because you are subtracting their age, like 19 - 11. The same goes with B, but adding.

Finally, we now know that it is B because there is no other addition choice.

I hope this helped. Please correct me if I am wrong.

HELP PLEASE! I will rate 5 stars and give brainliest!!!

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term ( explicit formula ) of an arithmetic sequence is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₁₂ = - 95 and a₃₇ = - 270 , then

a₁ + 11d = - 95 → (1)

a₁ + 36d = - 270 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

25d = - 175 ( divide both sides by 25 )

d = - 7

Substitute d = - 7 into (1) and solve for a₁

a₁ + 11(- 7) = - 95

a₁ - 77 = - 95 ( add 77 to both sides )

a₁ = - 18 , thus

a_{n} = - 18 - 7(n - 1) = - 18 - 7n + 7 = - 7n - 11

a_{n} = - 7n - 11 ← explicit formula

--------------------------------------------------------------

The recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found by adding the common difference d to the previous term, thus

a_{n} = a_{n-1} - 7 with a₁ = - 18 ← recursive formula

The average rate of change of g(x) between x = 4 and x = 7 is 5/6 . Which statement must be true?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

\frac{5}{6}=\:\frac{g\left(7\right)-g\left(4\right)}{7-4}  would be the correct statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that

Average rate of change = Change in output / Change in input    

                                        =  Δy  / Δx

                                        =\frac{y_{2} -y_{1}}{x_{2} -x_{1}}

                                        =\frac{g(x_{2})-g(x_{1})}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

                                         =\frac{g(7)-g(4)}{7-4}                    

As the average rate of change of g(x) between x = 4 and x = 7 is 5/6.

so

\:Average\:rate\:of\:change\:=\:\frac{g\left(7\right)-g\left(4\right)}{7-4}

                                  \frac{5}{6}=\:\frac{g\left(7\right)-g\left(4\right)}{7-4}

Therefore, \frac{5}{6}=\:\frac{g\left(7\right)-g\left(4\right)}{7-4}  would be the correct statement.
