Answer:

The number of cats at the shelter on Friday was 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let "x" be the number of cats and "y" the number of dogs.

The shelter spends $2 per cat and $7 per dog. If the total expenses on Friday was $82, then, two times the number of cats plus seven times the number of dogs is equal to 82:

2x + 7y = 82

We also know that the total number of cats and dogs was 26. Then, the number of cats plus the number of dogs is equal to 26:

x + y = 26

Let´s solve this equation for y and replace it in the first equation

y = 26 - x

Then:

2x + 7(26 - x) = 82

Apply distributive property:

2x + 182 - 7x = 82

Subtract 182 to both sides of the equation:

-5x = -100

divide both sides of the equation by -5

x = 20

The number of cats at the shelter on Friday was 20.

Have a nice day!

Answer:

F)\displaystyle \:  100\pi{ x}^{8} {y}^{2}  {z}^{ 6}

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given r and the formula

we want to find the surface area of the shpare with the given r

to do so

we need our algebra skills

substitute the value of r:

\displaystyle \: S = 4\pi( {5x}^{4} y {z}^{ 3} {)}^{2}

recall law of exponent

\displaystyle \:  ({x}^{m}  {)}^{n}  \iff \:  {x}^{mn}

to simplify:

\displaystyle \: S = 4\pi({ {5}^{2} x}^{4 \times 2} {y}^{1 \times 2}  {z}^{ 3 \times 2} )

simplify multiplication:

\displaystyle \: S = 4\pi({ 25x}^{8} {y}^{2}  {z}^{ 6} )

distribute:

\displaystyle \: S = 100\pi{ x}^{8} {y}^{2}  {z}^{ 6}

hence our answer is F

The Greatest Common Factor of the given expression should be that expression that can divide both. First, factor both expression,
           x^4 = (x³)(x)      and x³ = (x³)(1)
Therefore, both can be factored by x³. The answer is the third choice.
