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

What is f(–3) for the function f(a) = –2a2 – 5a + 4?
shepuryov [24]
F(-3) = -2(-3)2 - 5(-3) +4
            - 6 x 2 -15 + 4
                - 12 -15 +4
                    - 27 + 4

I believe this is how to solve the equation. I could be wrong.

Given the function f(x)=5(x+4)-6 solve fot the inverse function when x=19
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

I got 109

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=5(x+4)-6     x=19

f(19)=5(19+4)-6

*Add 19 + 4 because it is in ()*     f(19)=5(23)-6

*Multiply because it is the first in the order of operations*    f(19)=115-6

*Now just subtract*      f(19)= 109
