Answer:

   24 birds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the number of birds at the shelter on Wednesday. Then the cost of care for the 41 animals is ...

  5b +7.5(41 -b) = 247.50

  -2.5b +307.50 = 247.50 . . . . . simplify

  -2.5b = -60 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 307.50

  b = 24 . . . . . . . . . divide by -2.5

The number of birds at the shelter on Wednesday was 24.

What is 6 divied 192 please show work
suter [353]
The problem presented with the word used as "divied" is very tricky and misleading to the point that it might create an understanding.

So we will approach this is in two ways.

If this was meant to be "divided by" then it would look like this:
6 / 192

If this was meant to be "divided to" then it would look like this:
192 / 6

Let us first solve for the first possible problem:
6 / 192 = ?
0.0312

0.0312 would be the answer.

Let us then solve for the second possible problem:
192 / 6 = ?
32 = ?

32 would be the answer.

So 0.0312 and 32 would be two possible answers to this problem.

Solve the system using substitution.<br> 2x = 5y + 14<br> x = 5y
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

<h2>y = 2.8</h2><h2>x = 14</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve an equation, we can only have one variable. In this case, we are given the system 2x = 5y + 14. However, we are given the value of x in terms of y. We can substitute 10y in for 2x and solve.

10y = 5y + 14

First, we need to get all the variables on one side of the equation, so we subtract 5y.

5y = 14

Divide by 5

y = 14/5 or 2 4/5 or 2.8

Now for the x part.

2x = x + 14

Subtract 1x

x = 14

Now we check our answer.

2(14) = 5(2.8) + 14

28 = 14 + 14

28 = 28

Because 28 equals 28, our solutions are correct.
