Answer: The farmer has 120 birds altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, since the number of chickens us equal to 4 times the number of ducks, it means that if there are 2 ducks, there are (2 × 4) chickens and if there are 5 ducks in the farm, there are (5 × 4) chickens.

Let's then denote the number of ducks by "b". So, if the number of chickens is equal to 4 times the number of ducks, then the total quantity of birds belonging to the farmer

= 4b + b

If there are 72 more chickens than ducks, the quantity of birds is:

4b - b = 72

3b = 72

b = 72/3

b = 24 ducks

Since 4b represents the quantity of chickens and b is equal to 24, then the actual quantity of chickens = 4 × 24 = 96.

Therefore, if there are 96 chickens and 24 ducks in the farm, then the actual sum of the birds belonging to the farmer is:

96 + 24

= 120 birds

The farmer has 120 birds altogether.

Write an equation for a parabola in which the set of all points in the plane are equidistant from the focus and line. F(–2, 0);
UNO [17]
The line is called the directrix.  Here we have a vertical directrix, so a parabola sideways from usual.

Geometry is best done with squared distances.  The squared distance from an arbitrary point (x,y) to the vertical line x=2 is (x-2)^2.

We equate that to the squared distance of (x,y) to the focus (-2,0): 

(x-2)^2 = (x - -2)^2 + (y - 0)^2

x^2 -4x + 4=x^2 +4x +4 + y^2

-8x = y^2

We could call that done.  A more standard form might be

x =- \dfrac 1 8 \ y^2

<h3>Given :-</h3>
  • Pranav ran 20.3 km more than Branda

  • Pravin ran 38.6 km

\\  \\

To find :

  • No. of kilometers did Brenda run.

\\  \\

<h3>Let :</h3>

  • No. of kilometers ran by Brenda be x.

\\  \\

<h3>Solution:</h3>

\\  \\

Equation formed:-

\\  \\

Total distance covered by Pravan = More distance covered by Pravan + distance covered by Brenda.

Therefore:-

\\  \\

\leadsto \sf38.6 = 20.3 + x

Write the equation

\\  \\

\leadsto \sf38.6 - 20.3 =x

When we transfer 20.3 to left side the positive sign (+) will change into negative sign (–)

\\  \\

\leadsto \sf x = 38.6 - 20.3

Arrange the equation because x is always represented at left side.

\\  \\

\leadsto \boxed {\pmb{\sf x = 18.3}}\star

After subtracting 38.6 with 20.3 we will get result as 18.3 .

\\  \\

\therefore \red{ \underline{  \pmb{\frak{Distance  ~ covered ~by ~Brenda~ is ~equal ~to~18.3~kilometers}}}}
