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.

Find the roots of this equation 7xsquare - 5x - 2 = 0
Sophie [7]

Answer:

x = 1, -2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

You could use the quadratic equation but this can be factored into

(7x + 2) (x - 1).  You can verify that by multiplying it out.

Since (7x + 2) (x - 1) = 0, if either factor is 0 then the equation would be equal to 0, thus we get x = 1, -2/7
