I have no idea. Where is the diagram.
There are 120 female rabbits and 30 male rabbits because 30 times 4 is 120 and 120 plus 30 is 150
Step-by-step explanation:
factor 4 out of the variable terms, as this helps.
but my approach is simply to define the target and then calculate "backwards".
we want to find
(ax + b)² = a²x² + 2abx + b²
and now we compare with the original equation :
a²x² = 4x²
a² = 4
a = 2
2abx = 16x
2×2×bx = 16x
4b = 16
b = 4
b² = 16, but we have only 3, so we need to subtract 16-3 = 13 from the completed square.
so, our equation is
(2x + 4)² - 13 = 0
(2x + 4)² = 13
2x + 4 = sqrt(13)
2x = sqrt(13) - 4
x = sqrt(13)/2 - 2
Let X = tree height.
X/146 = 5.6/11.2
A=adult
c=children
total lumber=30
total number=adults+children
a+c=30
total cost=50
total cost=acost+ccost
acost=a times cost per adult=a times 3=3a
ccost=c times cost per child=c tiems 1=1c=c
total cost=3a+c
50=3a+c
equiaotn are
a+c=30
3a+c=50
multiplyu first by -1 and add
3a-a+c-c=50-30
2a=20
a=10
sub
10+c=30
c=20
answer is A
