Mac has 117 white and black

Mathematics
1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

The number of white horses is 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of black horses

y ----> the number of white horses

we know that

x+y=117 ----> equation A

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{4}

x=\frac{5}{4}y ----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

\frac{5}{4}y+y=117

\frac{9}{4}y=117

y=117(4)/9\\y=52

therefore

The number of white horses is 52

How do you use a number line from least to greatest
Arlecino [84]

Step-by-step explanation:

left to right.

the smallest numbers are on the left, the largest in the right.

all the numbers in the line are sorted.

so, going from left to right the numbers get continuously larger (no exception), and when going from right to left, they get continuously smaller.

remember that the negative numbers are smaller than the positive numbers. so, the negative numbers (if there are any in your case) are on the left side.

and negative numbers get smaller by "seemingly increasing" : -1 is larger than -2 and so on.

so, the range of the negative numbers starts on the left side with the "largest" negative number (but when you think about it, it IS the smallest number) and their absolute value gets smaller until they reach 0, and then the positive numbers start from small to large.

this also asked to fractions and mixed fraction numbers :

e.g. -2 1/2 is smaller than -2 and larger than -3.

because it is -2 + -1/2 = -2 - 1/2 = -2 1/2.

in that sense it is the same principle as with positive numbers :

2 1/2 = 2 + 1/2

-2 1/2 = -2 - 1/2

How do I find the x? Please and thank you!
maxonik [38]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The two opposite interior angles that are opposite to the exterior angle are congruent as shown in the diagram.

Therefore, based on the exterior angle theorem of a triangle, we have the following equation:

2(7x + 2)° = (17x - 23)

14x + 4 = 17x - 23

Collect like terms

14x - 17x = -4 - 23

-3x = -27

Divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3 = -27/-3

x = 9
