Answer:

Spiders=8

Ants=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Spider(s)=8 legs

Ants(a)=6 legs

Total legs=136

Total heads=20

8s+6a=136 (1)

s+a=20 (2)

From (2)

s=20-a

Substitute 20-a into (1)

8s+6a=136

8(20-a)+6a=136

160-8a+6a=136

160-2a=136

-2a=136-160

-2a=-24

a= -24/-2

a=12

Substitute a=12 into (2)

s+a=20

s+12=20

s=20-12

s=8

Andreyy89

Answer: k = 55 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

to find J, subtract 122 from 180, you get 58. The total number of degrees is 180. Since L is given as 67, and 67+58=125. Simply subtract 125 from 180 which is 55 degrees

-9-6i/-3-2i
Factor -3 out of expression
-3(3+2i)/-3-2i
Then extract the negative sign out of the expression
-3(3+2i)/-(3+2i)
Reduce the fraction with -(3+2i)
-3/-1
-3*-1=3

The area of a sector of a circle with a radius of 4 centimeters is 2.512 square centimeters. The estimated value of π is 3.14. T
butalik [34]
Area = (theta/360)* pi * r^2 
where theta is the angle of  the sector 
subs by your givens in the above equation 
2.512 = (theta/360) * pi * (4)^2 
theta = (2.512 * 360) /(pi*(4)^2)
theta = 18 degree
