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

Please help me :)) algebra 2! what are the real roots?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

3(x-4)^\frac{4}{3}+16=64

First, let's subtract 16 from both sides:

3(x-4)^\frac{4}{3}=48

Now, let's divide both sides by 3:

(x-4)^\frac{4}{3}=16

Remember that with fractional exponents, we can move the denominator into the root position. Therefore:

(\sqrt[3]{x-4})^4=16

Let's take the fourth root of both sides. Since we're taking an even root, make sure to have the plus-minus symbol!

\sqrt[3]{x-4} =\pm 2

Cube both sides. Since we're cubing, the plus-minus stays.

x-4=\pm 8

Add 4 to both sides.

x=\pm 8+4

Calculator:

x=8+4\text{ or } x=-8+4\\x=12\text{ or } x=-4

So, our answer is A.

And we're done!
