The 2 possible ways to fence in the patio are having 8x9, with the nine being the length of the wall. Because 8+8+9=26. The second way is 18x4 and the 18 being the length of the wall. Because 18+4+4=26.
Let us say that:
a = black kittens
b = white kittens
We know that:
a = 5 b
a + b = 25
Therefore:
5 b + b = 25
6 b = 25
b = 4.17
But we cannot have a fraction value for the number of
kittens, so round off:
b = 4
So a is:
a = 25 – 4 = 21
<span>Hence Zoe counts additional 1 black kitten.</span>
Answer:
19/24
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = rise/run = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)
s = (19 - 0) / (8 - -16)
s = 19/24
Answer:
First number = 4
Second number = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
If the first number = x, the second number = x + 5.
The calculation can be expressed as follows:
x + 2(x + 5) = 22
First, expand the bracket 2(x + 5):
x + 2x + 10 = 22
Combine like terms:
3x + 10 = 22
Subtract 10 from both sides:
3x = 12
Divide both sides by 3:
x = 4
First number = 4
Second number = 4 + 5 = 9
