Answer:

2 more cages

Step-by-step explanation:

A pair of guinea pigs means , 2 guinea pigs per cage

If the pet store has 8 cages how many more cages will the pet store need?

For 8 cages

1 cage = 2 guinea pigs

8 cages = x

Cross Multiply

x = 8 × 2 guinea pigs

x = 16 guinea pigs

The pet store has 20 guinea pigs

The amount of guinea pigs left

= 20 - 16

= 4 guinea pigs

2 guinea pigs = 1 cage

4 guinea pigs = x

Cross Multiply.

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2 cages

Therefore, the pet store needs 2 more cages

Find an ordered pair that is solution for linear equation 4x-5y=20​
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

(5,0) is the solution of the given equation.

(0,-4) is the solution of the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equation is: 4 x- 5y  = 20

Now, we need to find a value for (x,y) such that the above equation is satisfied.

The ONLY POSSIBLE way to do this is Hit and Trial.

Let us substitute x  = 0

Then the equation becomes : 4 (0) - 5y = 20

or, -5 y =  20 ⇒  y = -20/5 = - 4

So, for x = 0, y = - 4

So, (0,-4) will be the solution of the given equation.

Let us substitute y  = 0

Then the equation becomes : 4 (x) - 5(0) = 20

or, 4 x =  20 ⇒  x = 20/4 = 5

So, for x = 5, y = 0

So, (5,0) will be the solution of the given equation.

We can try another substitution as well.

For any value of x, we will get a corresponding value of y. So, (x,y) will be the solution of the given equation.
