Answer:

There are 15 numbers of chicken and 25 numbers of bulls.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pen had chickens and bulls.  The pen contains 40 animals in total. The number of legs in the pen is 130 .

Let

a = number of chicken

b = number of bull

a + b = 40................(i)

A chicken has 2 legs and a bull has 4 legs.

The total legs can be represented as

2a + 4b = 130...........(ii)

combine the equation

a + b = 40................(i)

2a + 4b = 130...........(ii)

a = 40 - b

insert the value of a in equation(ii)

2(40 - b) + 4b = 130

80 - 2b + 4b = 130

80 + 2b = 130

2b = 130 - 80

2b = 50

divide both sides by 2

b = 50/2

b = 25

Insert the value of b in equation (i)

a + b = 40

a + 25 = 40

a = 40 - 25

a = 15

There are 15 numbers of chicken and 25 numbers of bulls.

Answer:  by combining 1/4 and 1/3 and then you find the amount of left over dog food. Multiply the fractions so they have common denominators, then add. You will get 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12. 12 - 7 = 5, so there is 5/12 of the bag left.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As the statement is ‘‘if and only if’’ we need to prove two implications

  1. f : X \rightarrow Y is surjective implies there exists a function h : Y \rightarrow X such that  f\circ h = 1_Y.
  2. If there exists a function h : Y \rightarrow X such that  f\circ h = 1_Y, then f : X \rightarrow Y is surjective

Let us start by the first implication.

Our hypothesis is that the function f : X \rightarrow Y is surjective. From this we know that for every y\in Y there exist, at least, one x\in X such that y=f(x).

Now, define the sets X_y = \{x\in X: y=f(x)\}. Notice that the set X_y is the pre-image of the element y. Also, from the fact that f is a function we deduce that X_{y_1}\cap X_{y_2}=\emptyset, and because  f the sets X_y are no empty.

From each set X_y  choose only one element x_y, and notice that f(x_y)=y.

So, we can define the function h:Y\rightarrow X as h(y)=x_y. It is no difficult to conclude that f\circ h(y) = f(x_y)=y. With this we have that f\circ h=1_Y, and the prove is complete.

Now, let us prove the second implication.

We have that there exists a function  h:Y\rightarrow X  such that f\circ h=1_Y.

Take an element y\in Y, then f\circ h(y)=y. Now, write x=h(y) and notice that x\in X. Also, with this we have that f(x)=y.

So, for every element y\in Y we have found that an element x\in X (recall that x=h(y)) such that y=f(x), which is equivalent to the fact that f is surjective. Therefore, the prove is complete.

Find the measure of the angle. <br> I need to show my work, please, thank you!!!
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

148

Step-by-step explanation

A you may have studies,

x+125+23=180

x+148=180

x=132

Angle S = 132

but to find ? you have to add U and T

so it's y=125+23=148
