Answer:
5 pigs
Step-by-step explanation:
A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks. Altogether there are 42 legs. How many pigs are there?
Let us represent:
Number of pigs = x
Number of ducks = y
Our system of equations is given as:
A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks.
x + y = 16...... Equation 1
x = 16 - y
Altogether there are 42 legs.
Ducks have 2 legs(feet) , pigs have 4 legs,
4x + 2y = 42..... Equation 2
We substitute
16 - y for x in Equation 2
Hence:
4(16 - y) + 2y = 42
64 - 4y + 2y = 42
Collect like terms
- 4y + 2y = 42 - 64
-2y =- 22
y = -22/-2
y = 11 ducks
Solving for x.
x = 16 - y
x = 16 - 11
x = 5 pigs
Therefore, we have 5 pigs
8x(5x2+3)=8x(15+3)=8x13=104
3.5 pounds equals 56 ounces
Answer:
x = 14 D
Step-by-step explanation:
(18x + 36) / 3 = 6x + 12
6x + 12 = -16 + 8x
-6x . -6x
12 = -16 + 2x
+16 . +16
28 = 2x
/2 . /2
14 = x
Answer:
f(g(2)) = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
find g(2) then substitute the value obtained into f(x)
locate x = 2 on the x- axis, go vertically up to meet g(x) at (2, 5 )
locate x = 5 on the x- axis, go vertically up to meet f(x) at (5, 4 )
then f(g(2)) = 4
