x=# of pigs

y=# of chickens

x+y=220

Pigs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 legs.

4x+2y=520

x+y=220

Multiply each term of x+y=220 by -2.

-2x-2y=-440

4x+2y=520

add the two equations

2x=80

x=40 pigs

220-40=180 chickens

Another solution...

x+y=220

4x+2y=520

x=220-y

4(220-y)+2y=520

880-4y+2y=520

880-2y=520

-2y=-880+520

-2y=-360

y=180 chickens

220-180=40 pigs

Using diagonals from a common vertex, how many triangles could be formed from the polygon pictured below?
Ad libitum [116K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

From a given vertex, two of the vertices are adjacent, so a "diagonal" to those will not form a triangle. The number of diagonals that can be drawn is 3 fewer than the number of sides. The number of triangles is 1 more than the number of diagonals.

For a 5-sided figure, 2 diagonals can be drawn from a common vertex.

  3 triangles will be formed.

When you divide with negative exponents, you divide the rational numbers like normal and then you add the exponents.
Doss [256]

Answer:

the same as multiplying them, except you're doing the opposite: subtracting where you would have added and dividing where you would have multiplied. If the bases are the same, subtract the exponents. Remember to flip the exponent and make it positive, if needed.

What are the coordinates of the vertices of the rose garden after a translation two yards east and four yards south? Use the ter
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The coordinates of the vertices of the original rose garden are A(3, 6), B(3, 3), C(4, 3), and D(4, 6).

Because the rose garden is translated 2 yards east (2 units in the positive x-direction) and 4 yards south (4 yards in the negative y-direction), add 2 units to the x-coordinates and -4 units to the y-coordinates of all the original vertices.

A(3, 6) will become A'[(3 + 2), (6 + (-4))], or A′(5, 2).

B(3, 3) will become B'[(3 + 2), (3 + (-4))], or B′(5, -1).

C(4, 3) will become C'[(4 + 2), (3 + (-4))], or C′(6, -1).

D(4, 6) will become D'[(4 + 2), (6 + (-4))], or D′(6, 2).
