Answer:

4 birds were at the shelter on Monday

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the bird and y represents the cats.

As per the statement:

An animal shelter spends $1.50 per day to care for each bird and $6.50 per day to care for each cat.

⇒ Cost for x birds = $1.50 x and  Cost for y cats = $6.50 y

It is also given that Robert noticed that the shelter spent $123.00 caring for birds and cats on Monday.

⇒  1.50x+6.50y = 123             ......[1]

Total number of birds and cats on Monday are 22

⇒x+y =22           .....[2]

Multiply equation 2 by 1.50 we get;

1.50x+1.50y = 33           .....[3]

Subtract equation [3] from [1] to eliminate x, we get;

5y = 90

Divide both sides by 5 we get;

y = 18

Substitute the value of y in [2] we get;

x +18 = 22

Subtract 18 from both sides we get;

x =4

Therefore, 4 birds were at the shelter on Monday

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Similarities.

Since here, first figure is a Triangle, hence similarity of a triangle is given by ratio of it sides and make them equate,

hence for,

1.) 16/12 = x/9 ===> 4/3 = x/9 ===> x = 9*4/3 ==> x = 36/3

hence the value of x is 12 , ===> x = 12 .

2.) here,in the case of a Reactangle the relation is such that, length = 2* breadth,

hence we apply the relation,

x = 2*4.5 ===> x = 9 units.

How do I solve this problem using the substitution method <br> x-3y=4<br> 4x-2y=26
Nastasia [14]
Top 1. Substitute 3y on both sides of the equation.
Bottom 2. Substitute 2y on both sides of the equation

3y and 2y cancel

Divide x by 4 and 26 by 4.

Is there die points on a graph or decimal?

I have not done this for years but there is many calculators that can show you step by step online. I recommend using these

9. Calcule el valor de la fuerza que experimenta un ascensor cuando levanta 150 kg en los siguientes casos: a) Cuando asciende c
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

a) La fuerza neta que experimenta un ascensor cuando asciende con una aceleración de 4 metros por segundo al cuadrado es 600 newtons hacia arriba.

b) La fuerza neta que experimenta un ascensor cuando desciende con una aceleración de 6 metros por segundo al cuadrado es 900 newtons hacia abajo.

c) Por la fuerza de tensión sobre el cable del ascensor.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) La fuerza neta experimentada por el ascensor (F), en newtons, es:

F = m\cdot a (1)

Donde:

m - Masa, en kilogramos.

a - Aceleración, en metros por segundo cuadrado.

Si sabemos que m = 150\,kg y a = 4\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, entonces la fuerza neta del ascensor es:

F = m\cdot a

F = 600\,N

La fuerza neta que experimenta un ascensor cuando asciende con una aceleración de 4 metros por segundo al cuadrado es 600 newtons hacia arriba.

b) Si sabemos que m = 150\,kg y a = -6\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, entonces la fuerza neta del ascensor es:

F = m\cdot a

F = -900\,N

La fuerza neta que experimenta un ascensor cuando desciende con una aceleración de 6 metros por segundo al cuadrado es 900 newtons hacia abajo.

c) De manera simplificada, el ascensor experimenta dos fuerzas que definen la fuerza y aceleración netas: (i) La fuerza de tensión sobre el cable que traslada el ascensor y el peso total del ascensor, opuesta a la anterior y en función de la aceleración gravitacional. Puesto que la masa no varía en ningún caso, se concluye que el peso es constante, entonces la diferencia de valores se debe a la fuerza por tensión del cable. En el descenso, es fuerza es menor que en el ascenso.
