answer is 7 pigs and 4 chicks

pigs' legs =     7 x 4 = 28

chicks' legs =  4 x 2 = 8

28 + 8 = 36 legs

c = amount of chickens

p = amount of pigs


now, let's recall that chicken have two legs, and pigs have four legs, whatever "c" is, the amount of legs for all chicken is 2*c, or 2c.

the amount of legs for pigs is 4*p or 4p.

we know there are 36 legs total, therefore 2c + 4p = 36.

we also know that there are 11 heads, since each only has one head, then c + p = 11.


\bf \begin{cases}
2c+4p=36\\
c+p=11\implies \boxed{p}=11-c
\end{cases}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{using \boxed{p} in the first equation}}{2c+4\left( \boxed{11-c} \right)=36}
\\\\\\
2c+44-4c=36\implies -2c=-8\implies c=\cfrac{-8}{-2}\implies \blacktriangleright c=4 \blacktriangleleft
\\\\\\
\stackrel{p=11-c}{p=11-4}\implies \blacktriangleright p=7 \blacktriangleleft

How do you make $2.161616 as a fraction and a mixed number
tatuchka [14]
Essentially, if you want something repeating, you want a 9 in your denominator - 0.22 repeating would be 2/9 or 22/99 and 0.16 repeating would be 16/99. Therefore, 2+16/99 is a mixed number and (198+16)/99=214/99 as a fraction

Is 5, √50, 5 a right triangle
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Yeah,its right angled traingle.

Reason:Suppose Root over 50 as hypotenuse and other two sides as base and perpendicular respectively.

By using pythagoras theorem

h^2=p^2+b^2

50=50(which is true)

Therefore it is right angled triangle..This is your required answer.

Will give BRAINLEST :)
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

This explanation mostly depends on what you're learning right now. The first way would be to convert this matrix to a system of equations like this.

g + t + k = 90

g + 2t - k = 55

-g - t + 3k = 30

Then you solve using normal methods of substitution or elimination. It seems to me that elimination is the quickest method.

g + t + k = 90

-g - t + 3k = 30

____________

0 + 0 + 4k = 120

4k = 120

k = 30

No you can plug this into the first two equations

g + t + (30) = 90

g + t = 60

and

g + 2t - (30) = 55

g + 2t = 85

now use elimination again by multiplying the first equation by -1

g + 2t = 85

-g - t = -60

_________

0 + t = 25

t = 25

Now plug those both back into one of the equations. I'll just do the first one.

g + (25) + (30) = 90

g = 35

Therefore, we know that Ted spent the least amount of time on the computer.

The second method is using matrix reduction and getting the matrix in the row echelon form, therefore solving using the gauss jordan method. If you would like me to go through this instead, please leave a comment.
