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! :)

1x + 8 = 10 + 0.5x

1x - 0.5x = .5x

.5x + 8 = 10

10 - 8 = 2

2/.5 = 4

Therefore, it will take 4 years for the two trees to have grown to the same height.

What is the constant rate of change of (5,80) (4,64) and (6,96)
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

The existence of the constant rate of change is given the ratio of y to x is the same. Then:

k_{1} = \frac{80}{5}

k_{1} = 16

k_{2} = \frac{64}{4}

k_{2} = 16

k_{3} = \frac{96}{6}

k_{3} = 16

In consequence, the constant rate of change is 16.
