Hello!
For a:
How I would do this, is I would first say if all 46 animals (heads) were chickens, how many legs would there be? Each chicken has 2 legs, so 46 * 2 = 92. The total amount of legs is 96 as stated in the question, so if all of the animals were chickens, the farmer would be 4 legs short.
Now to add rabbits into the equation. Rabbits have 4 legs, and chickens have 2. You want to find the difference between the two, because as you add rabbits to the animals the farmer has, then you have to take away chickens at the same time. 4-2 = 2, so for each rabbit you replace, you add 2 legs.
Since the farmer is 4 legs short with all chickens, then you just divide that 4 by the 2 legs you add by replacing a chicken with a rabbit.
4 / 2 = 2 rabbits
So that means there are 2 rabbits. Since there are 46 heads in total, if 2 are rabbits, that means there are 44 chickens.
So there are 44 chickens and 2 rabbits.
b)
You can follow the same steps: I'm assuming all are child tickets for now:
3.05 * 100 = $305
And now you find how much money short you are.
498.6 - 305 = 193.6
Next, you find the difference in the ticket costs.
5.25 - 3.05 = 2.20
And you divide to find the number of adult tickets.
193.6 / 2.2 = 88
Since 100 tickets were sold, and 88 adult tickets were sold, that means 12 child tickets were sold.
Answer:
x = 181 and y = 97
Step-by-step explanation:
let called the first number is x
the second number would be called y
We are given that:
x + y = 278 (1)
x = y + 84 (2)
Let change x in (2) into (1):
y + 84 + y = 278
2y + 84 = 278
Subtract 84 from both side, we got:
2y + 84 - 84 = 278 - 84
2y + 0 = 194
Divide both side by 2, we got:
2y / 2 = 194 / 2
y = 97
Because y = 97 and x + y = 278 so x would equal:
x + 97 = 278
Subtract 97 from both side, we got:
x + 97 - 97 = 278 - 97
x + 0 = 181
x = 181 and y = 97
Hope this helped :3
Answer:
k = –10
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
f(x) = x³ – 6x² – 11x + k
Factor => x + 2
Value of K =?
Next, we shall obtained the value of x from x + 2. This is illustrated below:
x + 2 = 0
Collect like terms
x = 0 – 2
x = –2
Finally, we shall determine the value of k as illustrated below:
f(x) = x³ – 6x² – 11x + k
x = –2
Thus,
f(–2) = 0
x³ – 6x² – 11x + k = 0
(–2)³ – (–2)² – 11(–2) + k = 0
–8 – (4) + 22 + K = 0
–8 – 4 + 22 + K = 0
10 + k = 0
Collect like terms
k = 0 – 10
k = –10
Thus, the value of k is –10
Answer:
1992
Step-by-step explanation:
60x38=2280
32x9=288
2280-288=1992
