Answer:
p < - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
< - 3 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )
p < - 15
Answer:
0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 = 0.25
Answer:
c = 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
5c+16.5=13.5+10c
Subtract 5c from each side
5c-5c+16.5=13.5+10c-5c
16.5 = 13.5 +5c
Subtract 13.5 from each side
16.5 -13.5 =13.5-13.5 +5c
3 = 5c
Divide by 5
3/5 = 5c/5
3/5 =c
Answers:
- Total equation: x+y = 80
- Legs equation: 2x+4y = 248
- How many ducks? 36
- How many cows? 44
====================================================
Further explanation:
- x = number of ducks
- y = number of cows
x+y = 80 is the total equation (ie the head count equation) since we assume each animal has 1 head, and there are 80 heads total.
That equation can be solved to y = 80-x after subtracting x from both sides.
The legs equation is 2x+4y = 248 because...
- 2x = number of legs from all the ducks only
- 4y = number of legs from all the cows only
- 2x+4y = total number of legs from both types of animals combined
We're told there are 248 legs overall, so that's how we ended up with 2x+4y = 248
------------
Let's plug y = 80-x into the second equation and solve for x.
2x+4y = 248
2x+4( y ) = 248
2x+4( 80-x ) = 248
2x+320-4x = 248
-2x+320 = 248
-2x = 248-320
-2x = -72
x = -72/(-2)
x = 36
There are 36 ducks
Now use this x value to find y
y = 80-x
y = 80-36
y = 44
There are 44 cows.
------------
Check:
36 ducks + 44 cows = 80 animals total
36*2 + 44*4 = 72 + 176 = 248 legs total
The answers are confirmed.
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
the 5y and the negative one cancel each other out. add the rest together you end up with 5x=-15. and divide each side by 5. you'll end up with x=-3
