Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation: add 5 on each side and you get -50 then divide -5/2 with -50 and get 5
Answer:
18 is divisible by both 2 and 9, you can multiply 9 by 2 to get 18, and 18 is a multiple of both of those numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If it is a parallelogram the opposite sides will a have the same slope.
Using the diagram we see from the coordinates of A and B:
Slope of AB = (5 - -1)/(-1 - -5)
= 6/4
= 3/2.
In the same way
slope of CD = (2 - -4) / (1 - -3)
= 3/2.
So AB and CD can be shown to be parallel.
Similarly the lines BC and AD are parallel.
So the figure is a parallelogram
Finding the perimeter (counting the units between the points):
Perimeter = 2AB + 2BC
By Pythagoras:
AB = sqrt (6^2 + 4^2) = sqrt 52
BC = sqrt (3^2 + 2^2) = sqrt 13
So Perimeter = 2sqrt52 + 2sqrt13
= 4sqrt13 + 2 sqrt13
= 6sqrt13
or 21.63 unit^2 to 2 decimal places.
Area = sqrt52 * perpendicular distance between the lines AB and CD.

I think A is the answer to your question
Answers:
- Total equation: x+y = 80
- Legs equation: 2x+4y = 248
- How many ducks? 36
- How many cows? 44
====================================================
Further explanation:
- x = number of ducks
- y = number of cows
x+y = 80 is the total equation (ie the head count equation) since we assume each animal has 1 head, and there are 80 heads total.
That equation can be solved to y = 80-x after subtracting x from both sides.
The legs equation is 2x+4y = 248 because...
- 2x = number of legs from all the ducks only
- 4y = number of legs from all the cows only
- 2x+4y = total number of legs from both types of animals combined
We're told there are 248 legs overall, so that's how we ended up with 2x+4y = 248
------------
Let's plug y = 80-x into the second equation and solve for x.
2x+4y = 248
2x+4( y ) = 248
2x+4( 80-x ) = 248
2x+320-4x = 248
-2x+320 = 248
-2x = 248-320
-2x = -72
x = -72/(-2)
x = 36
There are 36 ducks
Now use this x value to find y
y = 80-x
y = 80-36
y = 44
There are 44 cows.
------------
Check:
36 ducks + 44 cows = 80 animals total
36*2 + 44*4 = 72 + 176 = 248 legs total
The answers are confirmed.
