A farm has only chickens and pigs , Jason counted 140 legs in total and 440 legs. How many chickens are there

Mathematics

Keith_Richards [23]3 years ago

Answer:

  60 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the 140 refers to the number animals (heads, noses, bodies, whatever). If all of those were chickens, there would be 280 legs. There are 160 legs more than that.

Since each pig that replaces a chicken adds 2 legs, there must be 160/2 = 80 pigs. That leaves 140 -80 = 60 chickens.

Solve for <br> 3x + 12= -12
oee [108]

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 12 from both sides:

3x + 12 (-12) = -12 (-12)

3x = -12 - 12

3x = -24

Next, divide 3 from both sides:

(3x)/3 = (-24)/3

x = -24/3

x = -8

x = -8 is your answer.

At one​ store, Julia saved ​$10 with a coupon for 40​% off her total purchase. At another​ store, the ​$29 she spent on books is
barxatty [35]
Let "a" and "b" represent the values of the first and second purchases, respectively.
  0.40*(original price of "a") = $10
  (original price of "a") = $10/0.40 = $25.00 . . . . divide by 0.40 and evaluate
  a = (original price of "a") - $10 . . . . . . Julia paid the price after the discount
  a = $25.00 -10.00 = $15.00

At the other store,
  $29 = 0.58b
  $29/0.58 = b = $50 . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of b and evaluate

Then Julia's total spending is
  a + b = $15.00 +50.00 = $65.00

Julia spent $65 in all at the two stores.

How do i solve this
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

x = 0, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 4x² = - 12x ( add 12x to both sides )

- 4x² + 12x = 0 ← factor out - 4x from each term

- 4x(x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

- 4x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
