Answer: There are 133 chickens and 20 pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of chickens and y be the number of pigs.

Given : Number of heads of pigs and chicken = 153

Number of feet = 346

Since one chicken has 2 legs and one pig has 4 legs.

By considering the given information, we have the following system of equations:-

x+y=153------(1)\\\\ 2x+4y=346---------(2)

Multiply 2 on both sides of (1), we get

2x+2y=306-----(3)

Subtract (3) from (2), we get

2y=40\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{40}{2}=20

Put value of y in (1), we get

x+20=153\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=153-20=133

Hence, there are 133 chickens and 20 pigs.

Which of the following functions is quadratic? f(x)=3(x-4)(x+3), f(x)=5^2, f(x)=2/x, f(x)=2x^3+3x^2-5
DENIUS [597]
In B 5^2 = 25. There is no x anywhere.
In C f(x) = 2/x is a function of a reciprocal, not a quadratic.
In D f(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 5 is a cubic. A cubic is not a quadratic. The highest power of a quadratic is x^2

That leaves A. When you expand the brackets, you get
3(x^2 + 3x- 4x - 12)
2(x^2 - x - 12) when you remove the brackets you get
2x^2 - 2x - 24. The highest power of x is x^2. This is your quadratic.

Two of the angles in a triangle measure 57º and 25°. What must be the measure of the
ira [324]

The measure of the third angle in the triangle is 104 degrees

<h3>How to determine the measure of the third angles?</h3>

Let the three angles in the triangle be x, y and z.

Such that:

x = 51

y = 25

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.

So, we have:

x + y  + z = 180

Substitute known values

51 + 25 + z = 180

Evaluate the sum

76 + z = 180

Subtract 76 from both sides

z = 104

Hence, the measure of the third angle is 104 degrees
