Answer:

Option B.  24 horses and 50 humans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of humans

y ----> the number of horses

Remember that

A human has one head and two legs

A horse has one head and four legs

so

x+y=74 ----> equation A

2x+4y=196 -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

The solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (50,24)

see the attached figure

therefore

The number of humans is 50 and the number of horses is 24

The input x = 5 leads to the two outputs f(x) = 2 and f(x) = 1 (as shown by the green arrows in the attached image). In order to have a function, all of the inputs must lead to exactly one output.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

75 degrees, we know that already so look below lol.

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle is an isosceles triangle, LP is equivalent to LQ, and angles LQP and LPQ are also equivalent. We understand that PLQ is equal to 30 degrees, since its complementary to triangle LQM.

180 - 30 = 150

150/2 = 75.
