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

Answer:

w = 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given w varies inversely as \sqrt{x} then the equation relating them is

w = \frac{k}{\sqrt{x} } ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition when x = 4, w = 4

k = w\sqrt{x} = 4 × \sqrt{4} = 4 × 2 = 8

w = \frac{8}{\sqrt{x} } ← equation of variation

When x = 25, then

w = \frac{8}{\sqrt{25} } = \frac{8}{5} = 1.6

To Find :  Maximum profit , breakeven point , profit interval

Solution:

The maximum profit the florist will earn from selling celebration bouquets is $ 675

peak of y from Graph

The florist will break-even after  Selling 20     one-dollar decreases.

at breakeven

Break even is the point where the profit p(x) becomes 0

|6m|=42 please help me with absolute value
ANTONII [103]
Since there is nothing on the left side of the equation besides the absolute value, you have to take 6m out of the absolute value and create 2 separate equations. These 2 equation will be 6m = 42 and 6m = -42.

You solve the equations normally:
6m = 42     6m = -42     (inverse to get m by itself, do on both sides)
/6      /6      /6       /6

  m = 7        m = -7


The answer is a solution set:

Solve the proportion x+1/3 = x/2<br><br> 5<br> 1<br> 2<br> 10
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Value of x is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given that x+1/3 = x/2

Cross-multiply to find the value of x.

⇒ 2(x + 1) = 3x

⇒ 2x + 2 = 3x

⇒ x = 2
