Answer:

4 goats

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent

Number of quails = x

Number of goats = y

Quails have 2 legs

Goats have 4 legs

Hence:

There are 6 animals in the pen some are quails and some are goats

x + y = 6...... Equation 1

x = 6 - y

if there are 20 legs in all how many quails

2x + 4y = 20..... Equation 2

We substitute 6 - y for x in Equation 2

2(6 - y) + 4y = 20

12 - 2y + 4y = 20

Collect like terms

- 2y + 4y = 20 - 12

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4 goats

The number of goats there are 4 goats

Find the value of x.<br> (x + 30)
taurus [48]

Answer:

x=55

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angles of a polygon add to 360.

x+x+x+x+x+x+30 = 360

Combine like terms

6x+30 = 360

Subtract 30 from each side

6x+30-30 = 360-30

6x = 330

Divide by 6

6x/6 =330/6

x =55

sammy [17]
There will be a 25 grams left after 3240 years.

The half-life of Radium-226 is 1620 years. If we divide 3240 by 1620 the answer is 2. So that means the amount of Radium-226 will divide in half twice.

100 / 2 = 50 / 2 = 25
