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.

2x^3-3x^2-11x+6 divide by x-3
Alexxx [7]

Answer: 2x^2+3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do long division, which is very very hard to show with typing on a keyboard. You essentially want to divide the leading coefficient for each term. Ill try my best to explain it.

Do \frac{2x^3}{x}=2x^2. Write 2x^2 down. Now multiply (x - 3) by it. Then subtract it from the trinomial.

2x^2*(x-3)=2x^3 -6x^2\\(2x^3 -3x^2-11x+6)-(2x^3-6x^2) = 3x^2-11x+6

Now do \frac{3x^2}{x} =3x. Write that down next to your 2x^2. Multiply 3x by (x - 3) to get:

3x(x-3)=3x^2-9x\\(3x^2-11x+6)-(3x^2-9x)=-2x+6

Your final step is to do \frac{-2x}{x} =-2. Write this -2 next to your other two parts

Multiply -2 by (x - 3) to get:

-2(x-3)=-2x+6\\(-2x+6)-(-2x+6)=0

Our remainder is 0 so that means (x - 3) goes into that trinomial exactly:

2x^2+3x-2 times

Solve Ax+Hy=K for x<br> Help!
denis23 [38]

Answer:

x = -\frac{Hy + K}{A}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add -Hy to both sides.

  • Ax + Hy - Hy = K - Hy
  • Ax = -Hy + K

Step 2: Divide both sides by A.

  • \frac{Ax}{A} = \frac{-Hy+K}{A}
  • x = -\frac{Hy+K}{A}
