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.

Write the following in function notation y = 3x - 10
oksano4ka [1.4K]
In function notation, where f is the function, f(x)=3x-10. Using f(x) means you can write things like f(0) which means: what is the value of the function when x=0? Think of f for flexibility, because functions have greater flexibility than variables like y.

This is my last question by the way
Leni [432]

Part A:

There are 25 blocks for the length, and the length of each is 5.5 inches. 5.5x25=137.5

There are 9 blocks for the height, and each is 2.75 inches. 2.75x9=24.75

Since we're trying to find how much longer the length is to the width, we find the difference. 137.5-24.75=112.75

So part A answer is <em><u>112.75 (or 112¾)</u></em>

Part B:

We know the length is 137.5 and the height is 24.75. To find how many times longer the length is, we need to divide to see how many 24.75 can go into 137.5.

137.5÷24.75=5.55

So the answer to part B is <u><em>5.55. Given the context, the answer would probably be 5, because that's how many entire height can fit.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

Sorry if it's wrong lol
