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! :)

Find one of the solutions to the following absolute value equation:<br> 26 + 4) = 48

Answer : MAYBE 18 (?)
I’m not 100% sure
Explanation: you always solve what’s is parentheses “( )” first so then you get the equation
30 = 48
Then ( this is the part I’m not sure about)
You subtract 30 out that means 30-30=0 & 48-30 = 18 so that’s where I found my answer but idk I haven’t done absolute value since Algebra 1 !!

Answer:

The radius of the inner circle is 14 ft. Since the outer circle is 3 ft more than the inner circle, its radius is 17 ft. The circumference formula is 2(pi)radius (or 2(22/7)17 in this case). The circumference of the outer circle is 106.85 ft (or 106.9 if rounding). To find the difference, you would subtract the smallest FROM the greatest:

106.85 - 88 = 18.85 ft (or 18.9 if rounding)

Find (r-s) (t-s) + (s-r) (s-t) for all numbers r, s, and t. (a) 0 (b) 2 (c) 2rt (d) 2(s-r) (t-s) (e) 2(r-s) (t-s)
lyudmila [28]
Notice that the 2 expressions have 2 common terms.

(r-s) is just (s-r) times (-1)

similarly

(t-s) is just (s-t) times (-1)

this means that :

(r-s) (t-s) + (s-r) (s-t)=-(s-r)[-(s-t)]+(s-r) (s-t)

the 2 minuses in the first multiplication cancel each other so we have:

-(s-r)[-(s-t)]+(s-r) (s-t)=(s-r) (s-t)+(s-r) (s-t)=2(s-r) (s-t)

What's the relationship if ab=bc b=0
Lelu [443]
If you know that b=0, then  ab=bc  doesn't tell you anything about
'a' or 'c', because no matter what they are, it's always true.
