Answer:
y=68
Step-by-step explanation:
54=y−14
54+14=y
68=y
Find total instruments:
20+20+45+15 = 100
20 are brass
The portion would be number of brass over total:
20/100 which reduces to 1/5 are brass
The square numbers of 45?
I don't really know what you mean by that but if you're looking for the square numbers before 45, they are as follows:
1
2
4
9
16
25
36
Hope this helps :)
Remark
Let the pigs = p
Let the chickens = c
Givens
30 heads is another way of saying that there were 30 creatures in the barnyard. In addition each chicken has 2 legs and each pig has 4
c + p = 30
2C + 4P = 100 (2) Divide (2) by 2
C + 2P = 50 (3) Subtract (1) from (3)
<u>C + P = 30</u>
P = 20
So there were 20 pigs.
