Answer:
5 cows and 3 ducks
okay well there are 8 heads and each animal has a head meaning that there are a total of 8 organisms in total. Cows have 4 legs and ducks have 2. Lets say that c is cows and d is ducks. You would have the equations ...
c+d=8
4c+2d=26
well d techniacally = 8-c, so plug in (8-c) for the value of d
4c+2(8-c)=26. Distribute to get
4c+16-2c
and then add like terms. Soy ou would get
2c+16=26.
then just isolate the variable but subtracting 16 from both sides and dividing 2 on both sides. The answer you would get is that c=5 so there are 5 cows. Plug in 5 for c so you get 5+d=8 and tadaaaa you subtract 5 from both sides to get that there are 3 ducks.
hope this helps :)
Answer:
Total cost of cementing the path = Rs. 17,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the square garden be ABCD
Let the region inside the garden (ABCD) be WXYZ.
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Length of sides of ABCD = 90m
Width of path = 5m
Cost = Rs. 10 per m²
Area of ABCD = 90 * 90
Area of ABCD = 8100m²
<em>To find the area of WXYZ;</em>
WX = WZ = 90 - (5 + 5)
WX = WZ = 90 - 10
WX = WZ = 80m
Area of WXYZ = WX * WZ
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Area of WXYZ = 80 * 80
Area of WXYZ = 6400 m²
Area of path = Area of ABCD - Area of WXYZ
Area of path = 8100 - 6400
Area of path = 1700 m²
Total cost of cementing the path = Area of path * cost
Total cost of cementing the path = 1700 * 10
<em>Total cost of cementing the path = Rs. 17,000</em>
