The second equation is <span>-5-2y=2, then
</span>
<span>-2y=2-(-5),
</span>
-2y=2+5,
-2y=7,
y=7÷(-2),
y=-3.5.
The first equation is 2x+5y=16, subtitude y=-3.5 in this equation, then
2x+5·(-3.5)=16,
2x-17.5=16,
2x=16-(-17.5),
2x=16+17.5,
2x=33.5,
x=33.5÷2,
x=16.75.
Answer: (16.75,-3.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
20%=cows 0.4(40%)=goat 40%=sheep
if 40%sheep=40 sheeps
20% cow=x
20%×40=40%×x
8=40%x
x=8/40%
x=20
..so there are 20 cows
sorry...not sure
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Working backwards:
19 + 9 = 28
28/ 4 = 7
Checking work:
7 x 4 = 28
28 - 9 = 19
Answer:
Length = 4 feet
Width = 4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a rectangle formula = 2L + 2W
Where L = Length
W = Width
The length of a rectangle is 8feet less than the width.
Hence,
L = 8 - W
The perimeter is 64 feet.
Hence,
64 = 2(8 - W) × 2W
64 =( 16 - 2W )2W
64 = -4W² + 32W
4W² - 32W + 64 = 0
Factorise
4W² - 16W - 16W + 64 = 0
4W (W - 4) - 16(W - 4) = 0
W - 4 = 0
W = 4
Width = 4
Solving for L
L = 8 - W
L = 8 - 4
L = 4
Therefore,
Length = 4 feet
Width = 4 feet
