Answer:
y=10 ( number of acrobat)
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the elephant and y the acrobat
elephant has 4 legs and acrobat 2
4x+2y=40
x+y=15 ⇒x=15-y
substitute for x in the equation:
4(15-y)+2y=40
60-4y+2y=40
-2y=40-60
y=-20/-2
y=10 ( number of acrobat)
number of elephant=15-10=5 elephants
Distribute the signs: 12-14+9x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the area of a square is given by
, where x is the length of one side.
Mary's original garden was in the shape of a square. She has decided to double the area of her garden. So the new area of Mary's garden will be 2 times the area of original garden.
We can represent this information in an equation as:

Therefore, the expression
will represent the area of Mary's new garden.
To evaluate the area of new garden, if the side length of Mary's original garden was 8 feet, we will substitute x equals 8 in our expression.



Therefore, the area of Mary's new garden will be 128 square feet.
