First, let's assign variables:

p = pigs

h = horses

s = sheep

We know that:

7p = 3h

p = 5s

We can input 5s in p:

7(5s) = 3h

35s = 3h

h = 35s/3

h = 11 2/3 s

Multiply both sides by 8:

8h = 88 16/3 s

Simplify the fraction

8h = 93 1/3 s

He can get 8 horses for 93 1/3 sheep

1. Which number makes this equation true? v 2 + 10v + 16 = (v + 8)(v + ?) (1 point) 2 4 6 8 2. What is the factored form of x 2
rusak2 [61]
1. The answer is two because if you factor what you can from the equation and then simplify, you are left with 2v+16=(v+8)(?), and by looking at it, the correct answer is two, or A. Review your work, make sure to check your answers before submitting
2. Since two simple factors of 8 are 4 and 2, and they add up to 6, the correct answer is (x+4)(x+2), or B
3. Again, two simple factors of 12 are -4 and -3, so the correct answer is (x-3)(x-4), or D
4. Basically, just factor the quadratic trinomial g^2-2g-24, which turns out to (G+4)(g-6), which is B
