Since there are more parakeets than canaries, it is not possible to have only 1 of each bird in each cage <u>and</u> have the same number of birds in each cage.

He could use 42 cages, putting a canary in with the parakeet in 18 of them. Then he would have 18 cages with 2 birds each, and 24 cages with 1 bird each.

The only way to have the same number of birds (1) in all cages is to have 60 cages, 42 of which have 1 parakeet, and 18 of which have 1 canary.

_____

If more than 1 of each kind of bird can be put in the cage, the collection of birds could be put into 6 cages, each of which would be home to 7 parakeets and 3 canaries.

Just help me out with this polynomial i need help <br> { -m^{2} + 6} + { -4m^{2} + 7m + 2} =
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

-5m^2+7m+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we add up two polynomials shown.

The polynomials are:

[-m^2 + 6]+[-4m^2 +7m + 2]

In order to add up the 2 polynomials shown, we have to see the "like terms" and add them up.

We add up the "m^2" terms and the constant (number) terms. There is one term with "m", so we leave it like that. Let's add up. Shown below:\

[-m^2 + 6]+[-4m^2 +7m + 2]\\=-m^2-4m^2+6+2+7m\\=-5m^2+7m+8

This is the sum of the 2 polynomials shown:  -5m^2+7m+8

3 squares = 4 circles, so (number of squares)/(number of circles) = 3/4.
3/4 = 12/16
:::::
4 squares = 2 circles, so (number of squares)/(number of circles) = 4/2.
4/2 = 2/1
:::::
2 squares = 5 circles, so (number of squares)/(number of circles) = 2/5.
2/5 = 4/10

One week a business sold 40 shirts. White ones cost $4.95, and the printed ones cost 7.95. In al $282 worth of shirts were sold.
Tanya [424]

Answer:

12 white 28 printed

Step-by-step explanation:

x = white y = printed

x + y = 40————(1)

4.95x + 7.95y = 282————(2)

Solve for x using 1st equation

x = 40 - y Plug in for x using 2nd equation

4.95(40 - y) + 7.95y = 282 Solve for y

198 - 4.95y + 7.95y = 282

3y = 84

y = 28         Plug in for y using 1st equation

x + (28) = 40     Solve for x

x = 12

I hope this helped and please mark me as brainliest!
