Answer: There are 36 cows that can eaten 72 acres of grass in 126 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of grass in an acre initially.

Let y be the amount of grass grown in an acre per day.

Since we have given that

12 cows can eat 10 acres of grass in 28 days

12×28  = 10x + 10×28 y

336 = 10x + 280 y----------------------------(1)

Similarly,

21 cows can eat 30 acres of grass in 63 days.

21×63  = 30x + 30×63 y

1323 = 30x +1890 y ---------------------------(2)

So, by graphing method, we get the value of x and y

x=\dfrac{126}{5},\ y=\dfrac{3}{10}

So, we have,  72 acres of grass in 126 days, we need to find the number of cows.

So, it becomes,

c×126 = 72x + 72×126 y

126c=72\times \dfrac{126}{5}+72\times 126\times \dfrac{3}{10}\\\\126x=4536\\\\x=\dfrac{4536}{126}\\\\x=36

Hence, there are 36 cows that can eaten 72 acres of grass in 126 days.

What are the coordinates of the x-intercept of the line -3x-5y=12?
max2010maxim [7]

well, x-intercept means for a graphed funciton where the x-axis gets touched/intercepted, Check the picture below, when that occurs, y = 0, so if we want to know what "x" is at that point we can simply set y = 0 and solve for "x".

-3x-5y=12\implies \stackrel{\textit{setting y = 0}}{-3x-5(0) =12}\implies -3x-0=12 \\\\\\ -3x=12\implies x=\cfrac{12}{-3}\implies x = -4 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{coordinates}}{(-4~~,~~0)}~\hfill

An introductory psychology class has 9 freshman males, 15 freshman females, 8 sophomore males, and 12 sophomore females. A rando
hjlf

Answer:

The probability is \frac{16}{43}

Step-by-step explanation:

The psychology class has 9 freshman male, 15 freshman females, 8 sophomore male and 12 sophomore female.

Total population constitution of the class=

17 males and 27 females and 44 students in total.

If on selecting on the first attempt, a male has been picked up then the number of males for the picking up in the second attempt has to decrease by one.

Also, the total number of students from which it has to be selected also decreases by 1, because one child has already been selected.

Therefore for Second Attempt, Total 43 students and 16 males.

Probability=\frac{No.OfFavorableOutcomes}{TotalNo.OfOutcomes}

Probability=\frac{16}{43}

Write the interval (5, 100] as an inequality and using set notation
Arada [10]
An inequality is a statement that shows relation between two values, when the two values are not equal.
The inequality is opposite than equality.
So, the interval (5,100] means that it contains all number from number 5 (not and 5)  till 100, including 100. We can see this from the bracket's type. 
For a value x in this interval we can write the inequality:
5<x<=100
x is bigger than 5 , and smaller or equal 100
