Answer:

x=lizards y=snakes

x+36=y x+y=214

x + x +36=214

2x=214-36

2x/2=178/2

x=89lizards y=89+36=125snakes

Step-by-step explanation:

f= female sankes m=male snakes

m+31=f

m+f=125

m+m+31=125

2m=125-31

2m/2=94/2

m=47 male snakes

f=47+31=78female snakes

The area of the sector formed by the 110 degree central angle is 40 units squared what is the radius
olga2289 [7]
We know that
area of the circle=pi*r²

if 360° (full circle) has an area of-------------> pi*r²
110°------------------------------> 40 units²
pi*r²=40*360/110--------> pi*r²=130.91------> r²=130.91/pi-----> r²=41.69
r=6.46 units

the answer is
the radius is 6.46 units

Find the coordinates of the centroid of triangle RST. SHOW YOUR WORK so I can see if the answer makes sense (no links)
zimovet [89]

Note the coordinates of each point: R(-4, 5), S(5, 1), T(2, -3).

The centroid is the point whose coordinates are the average of the coordinates of R, S, and T.

<em>x</em>-coordinate: (-4 + 5 + 2)/3 = 3/3 = 1

<em>y</em>-coordinate: (5 + 1 - 3)/3 = 3/3 = 1

So the centroid is (1, 1).

Why is the answer A? Plzzz explain.
Contact [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4

f(x + a) = (x + a)^2 + 4(x + a) + 4

f(x + a) = x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + 4x + 4a + 4   Now combine like terms and use the distributive property.

f(x + a) = x^2 + (2a + 4)x + a^2 + 4a + 4

We are told that f(x + a) = x^2 - 6x + 9

So that means that

2a + 4 = - 6      Subtract 4 from both sides.

2a = - 6 - 4

2a = - 10          Divide by 2

a = - 10/2

a = - 5.            

But you are not finished. You have to check the last part.

a^2 + 4x + 4 = 9

(a + 2)^2 = 9

Take the square root of both sides

sqrt(a+ 2)^2 = +/- 3

a+2 = 3

a = 1.

Does this work or is it extraneous? It is extraneous because it will not work for  2(a) + 4 = - 6  

You get 6 = - 6 which is not correct. But you did give the second best answer.

a + 2 = - 3

a = - 3 - 2

a = - 5 which agrees with your previous answer.

===========

This is an extremely hard or tricky or sneaky problem. It takes a lot of conniving to get the right answer and 1 is not a left field answer. It just does not happen to be correct.
