H-human a-horse
h+a= 72
2h+4a=192

then do h=72-a
substitute that into the second equation
2(72-a)+4a=192

multiple out
144-2a+4a=192
2a=48
a=24
substitute a into the first equation
h+24=72
h=48
humans- 48
horses- 24

Enter an inequality that represents the graph in the box.
jasenka [17]

Answer:

y > -3x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the equation of the dashed line.  We can use y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Here, the y-intercept is (0, 6).  To find the slope, we need a second point on the line.  Let's choose (2, 0).

m = Δy / Δx

m = (6 − 0) / (0 − 2)

m = -3

So the equation of the dashed line is y = -3x + 6.

Now look which side of the line is shaded.  In this case, the area <em>above</em> the line is shaded.  So the inequality is:

y > -3x + 6

1. Solve the equation using the zero-product property.<br> -x(5x – 4) = 0
Oxana [17]

Answer:

x = 0, 4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero-product property states that if the product of a and b is zero, then either a = 0, b = 0, or both terms equal zero

  • Here our a term is -x and our b term is (5x - 4)
  • Setting each term equal to zero and solving for x we get
  • -x = 0 → x = 0
  • 5x - 4 = 0 → 5x = 4 → x = 4/5

It's 9 4/5 miles from Justin's house to the art museum the distance to the history museum is 9/10 this far
Leno4ka [110]
The history museum is less that 9 4/5 miles. 9/10 means that the 9 3/4 mile is broken up into 10 equal parts and the distance to the museum is only 9 of those parts. 9 3/4 (9.8) divided by 10 equals 98/100 (.98) 
98/100 x 9 = 882/100 or 8.82 

Justin's house is 8.82 miles from the museum.
