Mathematics

Answer:

let the number of cows = x

let the number of chickens = y

since there are 42 heads:

x + y = 42

and since a cow has 4 legs, and a chicken has 2

4x + 2y = 144

from first equation:

x + y  = 42

x = 42 - y (now, we will substitute this in the second equation)

4(42 - y) + 2y = 144

168 - 4y + 2y  = 144

2y = 168 - 144

2y = 24

y = 12

now, we know the number of chickens. we will replace y with 12 in the first equation since it is more simpler

x + 12 = 42

x = 30

So, there are 30 cows and 12 chickens

Identify the area of the trapezoid.
Vlad1618 [11]

Option B: The area of the trapezoid is 157.5 m²

Explanation:

We need to determine the area of the trapezoid.

The area of the trapezoid can be determined by the formula,

Area=\frac{h}{2} (a+b)

where h is the height, a and b are the base of the trapezoid.

From the figure, it is obvious that a=14 , b=7 and h=15

Substituting these values in the formula, we have,

Area=\frac{15}{2} (14+7)

Simplifying the terms, we have,

Area=\frac{15}{2} (21)

Multiplying the terms in the numerator, we have,

Area=\frac{315}{2}

Dividing, we get,

Area= 157.5 \ m^2

Thus, the area of the trapezoid is 157.5 m²

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

What is the solution to this equation?<br><br> 8x - 5 (x-3) = 18
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We distribute the negative 5 to x minus three to get 8x-5x+15=18. Then, we cancel out the 15 by subtracting it from both sides. This leaves us with 8x-5x=3. When we subtract, we get 3x=3, and when we divide both sides by 3, we get x=1. Hope this helps :)

Find the value of x and the value of y ?​
olganol [36]

Answer:

B)  x = 7,  y = 4\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

you can find the value of 'y' first by connecting the bases with another altitute measuring 4 units

you now have an isosceles triangle where each leg is 4 which makes the hypotenuse equal to 4\sqrt{2}

to find 'x', it is the sum of 3 and 4
