Answer:

There are  10 pigs and 30 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pigs be x

let the number of chickens be y

Then there are 40 heads . So the total number of pigs and chickens is 40

x + y = 40-----------------------(1)

We know that pigs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 legs

4x + 2y = 100----------------------(2)

Solving (1) and (2)

multiply  (1) by 2

2x + 2y = 80-------------------------(3)

subtract (3) from (2)

4x + 2y = 100

2x + 2y = 80

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

2x = 20

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

x = \frac{20}{2}

x = 10

Now Substituting x in (1), we get

10 + y = 40

y = 40 - 10

y = 30

A garden in the shape of a trapezoid has an area of 44.4 square
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

37 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the area of a trapezoid is A=\frac{a+b}{2} +h.

Here, a = 4.3, b=10.5, and h is unknown.

44.4=\frac{4.3+10.5}{2} +h

44.4=\frac{14.8}{2} +h

44.4=7.4 +h

37 = h

The height of the trapezoid is the width of the garden, so the garden is 37 meters wide.

Which of the following points lies on the graph of the function y = 8x?
nignag [31]
Y = 8^x
For (0, 1): 1 ≠ 8^0 = 1
For (8, 1): 1 ≠ 8^8 = 16,777,216
For (2, 64): 64 = 8^2
For (0, 8): 8 ≠ 8^0 = 1

Therefore, option 3, (2, 64) is the correct answer.

The solutions to the inequality y<-x+1 are shaded on the graph. Which point is a solution?
suter [353]
Answer: 
B) (3, –2)

Explanation: 
The inequality is y ≤ –x + 1
There are two ways to do this. You can try the four options by seeing where they lie on the graph, or by inputting them into the inequality and seeing if they check out. I am going to do a bit of both.

I know that the solution cannot have two positive coordinates because the first quadrant is not part of the solution, so I won't guess A or C. 
I'll try (3, –2) (which is option B).
On the graph, (3, –2) is on the line, which means it is part of the solution because the line is solid and the inequality is a greater than or equal to sign. 
Try it in the inequality: 
y ≤ –x + 1 
–2 ≤ –3 + 1 
–2 ≤ –2 yes this checks out.
