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

Aubrey invested $61,000 in an account paying an interest rate of 1.9% compounded continuously. Assuming no deposits or withdrawa
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: 9.9 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

If interest is compounded continuously, then formula to compute final amount A = Pe^{rt}, where P =initial amount, r= rate of interest , t=time.

Given: P= $61,000, r= 1.9% =0.019  , A = $ 73600

Substitute all values in formula

73600=61000e^{0.019t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{73600}{61000}=e^{0.019t}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.20655738=e^{0.019t}

Taking natural log on both sides

\ln (1.20655738)=0.019t\\\\\\ 0.18777116=0.019t\\\\\\ t=\dfrac{0.18777116}{0.019}\\\\\\ t=9.88269263\approx9.9\ \text{years}

Hence, the required time = 9.9 years.

Can someone please help me
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The size is 37.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The total angle in the triangle is 180

Since the other two angles are congruent. it means that they are equal

Let us call each of the angles x

Mathematically,

x + x + 105 = 180

2x = 180-105

2x = 75

x = 75/2

x = 37.5
