The answer is 100 if you do it step-by-step
The correct answer is Choice B.
The first step in this problem is to divide both sides by 64.
On the left side, you will have b squared.
On the right side, you will have 1/4.
Now, take the square root of both sides.
The square root of 1/4 is positive or negative 1/2.
54044.55 ÷ 100 = 540.4455
Let h = the number of horses in the field
Let c = number of cows in the field
There are 2 more horses than cows in the field. Therefore
h = c + 2
or
c = h - 2 (1)
There are 15 animals in the field. Therefore
h + c = 15 (2)
Substitute (1) into (2).
h + (h - 2) = 15
2h - 2 = 15
Answer:
The correct equation is
2h - 2 = 15
