Answer:

52 young calves

Step-by-step explanation:

At a dairy farm the ratio of adult milking cows to young calves was 9:2. If there were 234 adult milking cows at the farm, how many young calves were there?

The ration is given as:

adult milking cows to young calves

= 9 : 2

= 234 : x

= 9/2 = 234/x

x = Number of young calves

Cross Multiply

9 × x = 2 × 234

= x = 2 × 234/9

x = 468/9

x = 52

Hence, the number of young calves on the farm is 52.

<h3>Answer:  Choice D</h3>

4x - 3y = 15

====================================================

Explanation:

The two points (-1,-1) and (2,3) are marked on the line

Let's find the slope of the line through those two points.

(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (2,3)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{3 - (-1)}{2 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{3 + 1}{2 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{4}{3}\\\\

The slope is 4/3 meaning we go up 4 and to the right 3.

-------------

Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. We'll need to see which of the four answer choices have a slope of 4/3.

Solve the equation in choice A for y. The goal is to get it into y = mx+b form so we can determine the slope m.

3x + 4y = -4\\\\4y = -3x-4\\\\y = -\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{4}{4}\\\\y = -\frac{3}{4}x-1

Equation A has a slope of -3/4 and not 4/3 like we want.

Therefore, this answer choice is crossed off the list.

Follow similar steps for choices B through D. I'll show the slopes of each so you can check your work.

  • slope of equation B is 3/4
  • slope of equation C is -4/3
  • slope of equation D is 4/3

We have a match with equation D. Therefore, the equation 4x-3y = 15 is parallel to the given line shown in the graph.

You can use graphing tools like Desmos or GeoGebra to confirm the answer.

Answer:

16/45x-11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5(1/3x-15/8)-1/3(1/2-2/3x)\\= 2/15x-30/40-1/6+2/9x\\= 16/45x-11/12

Answer:

  (x, y) = (0, -2248)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Substitution</u>

Substitute for y:

  300x -2248 = 350x -2248

  0 = 50x . . . . . . . . add 2248-300x to both sides

  x = 0

  y = 300·0 -2248

The solution is (x, y) = (0, -2248).

__

<u>Elimination</u>

Subtract the first equation from the second.

  (y) -(y) = (350x -2248) -(300x -2248)

  0 = 50x

  x = 0

  y = 300·0 -2248

The solution is (x, y) = (0, -2248).

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you think for a bit about what the graph looks like, you realize both lines cross at their y-intercept, (0, -2248). That point of intersection is the solution to the system of equations.
