X + Y = 18
X=chickens, Y=Cows
2x + 4y = 60
Let's try 8 and 10.
16 + 40=56, no, 32+20=52, no. 8&10 do not work.
Let's try 9 and 9.
18+36=54, no. 9&9 do not work.
Let's try 11 & 7.
22+28=50, no. 14+44=58, no.
Let's try 12 & 6.
24+24=48, no. 12+48=60 YES!
There are 12 cows and 6 chickens.
Answer:
AC = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadrilateral is a polygon shape with four sides and four angles. The interior angle of a quadrilateral sums up to 360°.
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angles) in which has two pair of opposite sides are parallel to each other. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Given parallelogram ABCD:
Diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at point E. Hence:
AC = AE + CE (line segment addition postulate)
Also:
AE = CE (diagonal BD bisects AC at point E).
Hence; x + 16 = 5x
5x - x = 16
4x = 16
x = 4
AE = x + 16 = 4 + 16 = 20; CE= 5x = 5(4) = 20
AC = AE + CE = 20+ 20 = 40
1) 300:1500 = 1:5
2) 25:31
3) 9:21 = 3:7
4) 5:21
5) 5:13
6) 15:14
