A forest inhabited only by borogoves and mome raths contains eighty-two creatures. Borogoves are two-legged animals, while mome

rath has 4 legs. If the forest contains 234 legs, how many borogoves and how many mome raths live in the forest?

Explain (1+y)^2 how does it turn into 1+2y+y^2 ? i don't understand
Greeley [361]
I will show you the steps on how you get that answer and if you have any questions after that let me know and I'd be more than happy to help answer them for you.
The first step for solving (1 + y)² is to use the equation (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² to expand the expression.
1² + 2 × 1y + y²
1 raised to any power equals 1,, so remove the power.
1 + 2 × 1y + y²
Calculate the product of 2 × 1y.
1 + 2y + y²
Finally,, use the commutative property to reorder the terms.
y² + 2y + 1
Let me know if you have any further questions.

A waitress sold 15 ribeye steak dinners and 18 grilled salmon​ dinners, totaling ​$559.81 on a particular day. Another day she s
Orlov [11]

Let  the steaks = X and the salmon = y.

Set up two equations:

15x + 18y = 559.81

19x + 9y = 583.66

Now using the elimination method:

Multiply the second equation by -2, then add the equations together.

(15x+18y=559.81)

−2(19x+9y=583.66)

Becomes:

15x+18y=559.81

−38x−18y=−1167.32

Add these equations to eliminate y:

−23x=−607.51

Divide both sides by -23 to solve for x:

x= -607.51 = -23 = 26.413478

Now you have the cost for a steak.

To solve for the cost of the salmon, replace x with the value in the first equation and solve for y.

15(26.413478) + 18y = 559.91

396.202174 + 18y = 559.81

Subtract 396.202174 from both sides:

18y = 163.607826

Divide both sides by 18:

y = 163.607826 / 18

y = 9.089324

Round both x and Y to the nearest cent:

X (Steaks) =$26.41

Y (Salmon) = $9.09

Find the length of CU, the triangles are similar.
Otrada [13]

Answer:

CU = 117

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{WC}{WU} = \frac{CD}{UV}

substituting in values to the ratios

\frac{26}{36x-1} = \frac{24}{132} ( cross- multiply )

24(36x - 1) = 3432 ( divide both sides by 24 )

36x - 1 = 143 ( add 1 to both sides )

36x = 144 ( divide both sides by 36 )

x = 4

CU = 36x - 1 - 26 = (36 × 4) - 27 = 144 - 27 = 117
