Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Micah is buying items for a party and that there are 6 cups in a package and 8 plates in a package.

We are further told that he wants to have the same amount of each item. The least number of packages of cups he needs to buy would be calculated by finding the least common multiple of 6 and 8.

Multiples of 6 = 6, 12 18, 24, 30

Multiples of 8 = 8, 16, 24, 32, 40

The answer is 24 cups

In a pen of goats and chickens, there are 40 heads and 150 feet. How many goats and chickens are in the pen?
s2008m [1.1K]

Hey there!!

A chicken has 1 head and 2 feet . A goat has 1 head and 4 feet

For heads, total = 40

Let us take the number of chickens as ' x ' and goats as ' y '

x + y = 40 ------------- ( 1 )

2x + 4y = 150 ----------- ( 2 )

Multiply the first equation with 2

2x + 2y = 80

2x + 4y = 150

Subtract the first equation from the first

2y = 70

y = 35

Number of goats = 35

substitute this in other equation

x + y = 40

x + 35 = 40

x = 5

Number of chickens are 4

Hope it helps!

Solving quadratic equation using the completing method.<br>(a).x^2+6x+1=0​
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

x = -3 + 2\sqrt2  \ , \ x = -3 - 2\sqrt2

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 6x + 1 = 0

a = 1 , b = 6 , c = 1

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{36-4}}{2}\\\\x=\frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{32}}{2}\\\\x= \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{16 \times 2}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-6 +4\sqrt2 }{2}\\\\x = -3 + 2\sqrt2  \ , \ x = -3 - 2\sqrt2
