Answer:
He has 30 penguins and 10 cats.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define the variables:
C = number of cats.
P = number of penguins.
We know that he has a total of 40 pets, then:
C + P = 40
We also know that the total heads (40 heads, each animal has one) plus the number of wings (P*2, each penguin has 2) is equal to the number of feet of his pets (4*C + 2*P, because each cat has 4 paws, and each penguin has 2)
Then we have the equation:
40 + 2*P = 4*C + 2*P
Notice that in the second equation we have the term 2*P in both sides of the equation, then we can just subtract 2*P in both sides to get:
(40 + 2*P) - 2*P = 4*C + 2*P - 2*P
40 = 4*C
Now with this, we can find the value of C.
40/4 = C = 10
Then he has 10 cats.
Now we can replace this in the equation:
P + C = 40
to find the value of P
P + 10 = 40
P = 40 - 10 = 30
P = 30
He has 30 penguins.

Answer:
perimeter is 12x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter is the sum of all sides
3(x+2) + 2x+11 + 7x-23
distribute the 3 in the first term, then combine 'like terms'
3x+6 + 2x+11 + 7x-23
3x+2x+7x + 6+11+(-23)
12x-6

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5 + 3x + C = 180 All triangles have 180 degrees.
4x + 5 + C = 180
But C must be equal to 3x. Notice the markings on the lets of the triangle.
4x + 5 + 3x = 180
7x + 5 = 180 Subtract 5 from both sides
7x = 180 - 5
7x = 175
x = 25
But angle C = 3x
C = 3*25
C = 75
