Answer:

17 cows and 6 geese

Step-by-step explanation:

1. set up two equations:

C + G = 23 (number of cows and geese = total number of animals)

4C + 2G = 80 (cows have 4 legs, geese have 2 legs and the total # of legs is 80)

2. 2(C+G)=2(23) ===> 2C + 2G = 46

3. subtract 4C + 2G = 80 and 2C + 2G = 46 to equal 2C=34, divide by 2 and C=17 (17 cows)

4. apply 17 back to the original (C + G = 23) equation to get: 17 + G = 23, subtract 17 from 23 and G=6 (6 geese)

i hope the way i explained it was clear! :)

3(6x+2)<9 solve the inequality
vladimir1956 [14]

3(6x+2) <9

Use distributive property:

18x + 6 < 9

Subtract 6 from both sides

18x < 3

Divide both sides by 18

X < 3/18

Simplify:

X < 1/6

A rectangular park had a perimeter of 18 miles. It is 7 miles wide. What is the area of the park?
4vir4ik [10]
Perimeter = 18 miles
Perimeter = 2a + 2b
2a + 2b = 18

a = ?
b = 7

18 = 2a + 2*7
18 = 2a + 14
2a = 18 - 14
2a = 4
a = 2

Area = a * b
Area = 2 * 7 = 14 miles2
