Answer:

  • Jim's: 7
  • Duke's: 21
  • Hank's: 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let J, D, and H represent the drove sizes of Jim, Duke, and Hank.

  2(H -6 + 1) = (J +6 -1) . . . . . Hank's offer

  3(D -14 +1) = (H +14 -1) . . . . Duke's offer

  6(J -4 +1) = (D +4 -1) . . . . . . Jim's offer

These equations can be simplified to ...

  2H - J = 15

  3D - H = 52

  6J - D = 21

__

<u>Solution</u>

Adding twice the second equation to the first gives ...

  2(3D -H) +(2H -J) = 2(52) +(15)

  6D -J = 119

Adding 6 times the third equation to this one gives ...

  6(6J -D) +(6D -J) = 6(21) +(119)

  35J = 245

  J = 7

Using this value in the third equation gives ...

  6(7) -D = 21

  42 -21 = D = 21

Using the value of J in the first equation gives ...

  2H -7 = 15

  H = (15 +7)/2 = 11

Then the solution is (J, D, H) = (7, 21, 11).

Jim's drove had 7 animals; Duke's drove had 21 animals; Hank's drove had 11 animals.

Answer:

y = -1/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on the line are (0,2) and (4,0)

We can find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (0-2)/(4 -0)

   = -2/4

    - 1/2

We know the y intercept is 2 since it crosses the y axis at 2

The slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is  the y intercept

y = -1/2x+2

Given: triangle LNK, m of angle NLK =72 degrees. m of angle N=58 degrees. MP is perpendicular bisector of side LK and intersects
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

  • 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given triangle LNK </u>

  • m∠NLK = 72°
  • m∠LNK = 58°
  • m∠LKN = ?

<u>Interior angles sum to 180°</u>

  • m∠NLK + m∠LNK + m∠LKN = 180°
  • 72° + 58° + m∠LKN = 180°
  • m∠LKN = 180° - 130°
  • m∠LKN = 50°

Answer:

572.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter = 27m

Radius = d / 2 = 27 / 2 = 13.5m

Area = pi x r²

= 3.14 x (13.5)²

= 3.14 × 182.25

= 572.3

What are two decimals that can be rounded to 4.26
Andrew [12]
In rounding, a number must be 5 or more to round up, and 4 or less to round down.

To round up to 4.26 you would need a number between 4.255 and 4.264

4.258 and 4.261 are two examples
