Number of zids=x
number of zods=y
number of zid legs=5x
number of zod legs=7y
so
5x+7y=140
try to get it into slope intercept from so you can graph is (y=mx+b)
5x+7y=140
subtract 5x from both sides
7y=140-5x
divide both sides by 7
y=20-5/7x
y=-5/7x+20
plug in numbers for x and get numbers for y (you can only plug in multiples of 7 for x so that there are a whole number of zids and since you are counting, x and y must never be negative)
lets try 0 for x
y=-5/7(0)+20
y=20
so x=0 and y=20 is an answer (if you can have only one of that species)
lets try 7 for x
y=-5/7(7)+20
y=-5+20
y=15
so x=7 and y=15 is an answer
lets try 14 for x
y=-5/7(14)+20
y=-10+20
y=10
so x=14 and y=10 is another answer
lets try 21 for x
y=-5/7(21)+20
y=-15+20
y=5
so x=21 and y=5 is another answer
lets try 28 for x
y=-5/7(28)-20
y=-20+20
y=0
so x=28 and y=0 is an answer (if there can be only one of a species)
if we go further, then y will be negative so the answers are
(x,y)
(0,20)
(7,15)
(14,10)
(21,5)
(28,0)
if it is allowed that only one species exists then there are 5 possible answers
if both must exist simultaneously, then there are only 3 answers

Note that the area of a square is: A = s² (s being side). Also note that all the sides of the square are congruent and have the same measurement.
Plug in 37 for A
37 = s²
Isolate the s. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Root both sides
√37 = √s²
s = √37
Change the root to a decimal
s = √37 = ~6.1 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
6.1 in is your answer
hope this helps
C) reflection over the x-axis
Answer:
E. x² + 11x - 42 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
let the square sides be x
A = bh = (x + 3 + 3)(x + 2 + 3) = 72
(x + 6)(x + 5) = 72
x² + 11x + 30 = 72
x² + 11x - 42 = 0
X=2 is the answer. hope it is helpful for u
