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.

-8, -19, -30, -49 , -60

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have the following sequence :

-8, -19, -30, _ , _

  • First term of sequence is -8 .
  • Second term of sequence is -19 : -8-11 = -19
  • Third term of sequence is -30 : -19-11 = -30
  • Fourth term of sequence is : -30-11 = -49
  • Fifth term of sequence is : -49-11 = -60  

Following sequence was an AP( Arithmetic Progression ) with first term as -8 i.e. a = -8 and common difference d = -11 having general equation as : -8 -11n .

Answer:

A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

for A

QT/RT=ST/QT=QS/QR  

There are two QT's in this

so

(QT)^2 = RT * ST

FOR B

there is no RT twice

for C

QR/RT RS/QR

There is a QR twice

so QR^2=RT*RS

FOR D there is no RT twice

Hello,

Let's assume f the age of the father,
s the age of the son.

<span>The age of a father is 2 less than 7 times the age of his son ==> f=7s-2 (1)

</span>
<span>In 3 years, the sum of their ages will be 52 ==>(f+3)+(s+3)=52 (2)

(2)==>f+s+6=52
==>f+s=46 (3)
(3) and (1) ==>7s-2+s=46
==>8s=48
==>s=6
f=46-6=40
