Set the number of chickens as x and number of cows as <span>y
</span>so the farmer has total 28 animals
so x+y=28
you know that since the animals are healthy
chickens will have 2 legs and
cows will have 4 legs
the total number of legs are 64
so 2x+4y=64
since you want to find the number of cows
so from the first equation <span>x+y=28
</span>we will get another equation <span>x=28-y
</span>then plug into <span>2x+4y=64
2(28-y)+4y=64
56-2y+4y=64
56+2y=64
-56 -56
2y=8
y=4
</span>
Answer:
Right answer is B) x>-10 and x<10
Answer:
<h2>9</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
(-)(-) = (+)
(-)(+) = (-)
(+)(-) = (-)
(+)(+) = (+)
-(-21) = (-)(-21) = (+)21 = 21
-12 - (-21) = -12 + 21 <em>use commutative property: a + b = b + a</em>
= 21 + (-12) = 21 - 12 = 9
Answer: Your choice is the first one above.
In our inequality, x is our unknown, so that is "a number" in the wording above. 1/2x means half the number. So we have half a number plus 3/4. Of course "plus" means sum, so we have "the sum of half a number and 3/4" so far. The inequality sign is greater than or equal to. That means that the left side CAN equal the right side and it can also be greater than the right side, but it's not ok to be less than the right side.
