Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of heads  = 30 heads

Number of legs  = 84 legs

Unknown:

Number of chickens and pigs = ?

Solution:

Since a chicken has one head, the number of chicken is the same as the number of heads;

  Number of chicken  = 30

A pig has 4 legs,

   Number of pigs  = \frac{84}{4}   = 21pigs

Total number of pigs and chickens = 30chickens + 21 pigs  = 51

Solve this system of equations<br><br> 3x-5y=7<br> 4x+10y=16
seropon [69]
Solve the following system:
{3 x - 5 y = 7 | (equation 1)
{10 y - 4 x = 16 | (equation 2)


Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{-(4 x) + 10 y = 16 | (equation 1)
{3 x - 5 y = 7 | (equation 2)

Add 3/4 × (equation 1) to equation 2:
{-(4 x) + 10 y = 16 | (equation 1)
{0 x+(5 y)/2 = 19 | (equation 2)


Divide equation 1 by 2:
{-(2 x) + 5 y = 8 | (equation 1)
{0 x+(5 y)/2 = 19 | (equation 2)


Multiply equation 2 by 2:
{-(2 x) + 5 y = 8 | (equation 1)
{0 x+5 y = 38 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 5:
{-(2 x) + 5 y = 8 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 38/5 | (equation 2)

Subtract 5 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{-(2 x)+0 y = -30 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 38/5 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -2:
{x+0 y = 15 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = 38/5 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer:  {x = 15
                {y = 38/5 or 7.6 decimal

A plane flies 1225 miles with the wind in the same time it can fly 1100 miles into the wind. The speed of the plane in still air
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

v=d/t, t=d/v, since t=t

1225/(v+w)=1100/(v-w)

1225v-1225w=1100v+1100w

2325w=125v

w=125v/2325, given v=575

w=125(575)/2325

w=30.91 mph
