Answer:

number of chicken = 50

number of sheep = 100

number of horse = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of chicken

y = number of sheep

z = number of horse

x + y + z = 154 (1)

2x + 4y + 4z = 516 (2)

the number of sheep equals twice the number of chickens

y = 2x

Substitute into the equation

x + y + z = 154

x + 2x + z = 154

3x + z = 154 (3)

2x + 4y + 4z = 516

2x + 4(2x) + 4z = 516

2x + 8x + 4z = 516

10x + 4z = 516 (4)

3x + z = 154 (3)

10x + 4z = 516 (4)

Multiply (3) by 4 to eliminate z

12x + 4z = 616 (5)

10x + 4z = 516 (4)

Subtract (4) from (5)

12x - 10x = 616 - 516

2x = 100

x = 100/2

x = 50

Recall,

y = 2x

y = 2(50)

y = 100

x + y + z = 154

50 + 100 + z = 154

150 + z = 154

z = 154 - 150

z = 4

number of chicken = 50

number of sheep = 100

number of horse = 4

Why rotation, reflection, and translation are rigid motion?
rewona [7]

Answer:

Reflections, translations, rotations, and combinations of these three transformations are "rigid transformations". ... A reflection is called a rigid transformation or isometry because the image is the same size and shape as the pre-image.

Which term best describes a figure formed by three segments connecting
elixir [45]

Answer:

The term that best describes a figure formed by three segments connecting three non-collinear points is:

Triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that with the help of just one point we can't form any figure.

With the help of two points a line segment can be formed.

And with the help of three points if the three points are collinear a triangle can be formed.

Hence, the term that best describes a figure formed by three segments connecting three non-collinear points is:

Triangle.

Determine the equations of the vertical and horizontal asymptotes if any for f(x)=x/x-5
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Horizontal Asymptote: x = 0

Vertical Asymptote: x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is given as  f(x)=\frac{x}{x-5}

<em>Horizontal asymptotes are found by equating numerator to 0 and solving for x</em>

<em>Vertical asymptotes are found by equating denominator to 0 and solving for x</em>

<em />

<u>Horizontal Asymptote:</u>

x = 0

<u>Vertical Asymptote:</u>

x - 5 = 0

x = 5
