Answer:

There are 29 chickens and 19 sheep.

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha has chickens and sheep on her farm.

Let the number of chickens be c.

Let the number of sheep be s.

Each chicken has one head and each sheep has one head.

She looked out one day and counted 48 animal heads. Each chicken has one head and each sheep has one head.

This means that the number of chickens and sheep add up to 48:

c + s = 48 ____________(1)

She also counted 134 legs. Each chicken has one head and each sheep has one head. This means that:

2c + 4s = 134 ________(2)

From (1),

c = 48 - s ____________ (3)

Put (3) in (2):

2(48 - s) + 4s = 134

96 - 2s + 4s = 134

Collecting like terms:

2s = 134 - 96

2s = 38

s = 38 / 2 = 19

Putting this back in (3):

c = 48 - 19

c = 29

There are 29 chickens and 19 sheep.

Robert and Chris can skate 4 miles in 18 minutes. How far can they ride in 45 minutes?​
adell [148]

Answer: Robert and Chris can skate 10 miles in 45 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by finding the unit rate.

\frac{4}{18} =\frac{2}{9} \\\frac{18}{18} =1

Robert and Chris can skate \frac{2}{9} of a mile in 1 minute. Now we can multiply both by 45 to see how far the can go in 45 minutes.

(\frac{2}{9}) (\frac{45}{1} )\\\frac{(2)(45)}{(9)(1)} \\\frac{90}{9} \\10

45x1=45

The can skate 10 miles in 45 minutes.

Four times a number decreased by seven
Elden [556K]
In order to answer this question, we must break this mathematical expression up into a series of mathematical operations (exponent, multiplication,division, addition, and/or subtraction):

"4 times a number" - The word "times" implies that we have to multiply 4 by an unknown number. We can simply label this unknown number as x.
"cubed" - In order to "cube" a number, we must raise it to the third power, or have an exponent of 3. Our unknown number of x now becomes x3 because we raised it to the third power.
"decreased by 7" - The word "decreased" implies that we must subtract 7 from the product of 4 multiplied by x3

With all of the information we now have, we can form an algebraic expression for this problem.
"4 times a number cubed decreased by 3" now becomes:
4x3 - 7

Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke University is one of the most revered sites in all of college basketball, as well as in all of sp
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain of a function is the set of values that satisfies the independent variable while the range of the function is the set of values that satisfies the dependent variable.

Since for each game, the amount of money that the Duke Blue Devils’ athletic program brings in as revenue is a function of the number of people in attendance, then the dependent variable is the amount of money while the independent variable is the number of people. The domain is between 0 and 9460 people. Therefore, the domain of this function is

0 ≤ x ≤ 9460

Where x represents number of people.

For the range, the lowest total sales is 0 × 45.5 = $0

The highest total sales is

9460 × 45.5 = $430430

The range is

0 ≤ y ≤ 430430

Where y represents total sales
