Let's assume
number of birds with 2 wings is x
number of birds with 4 wings is y
A nature museum has 2008 specimens of early birds
so,
Total of wings of 2 wings bird =2x
Total of wings of 4 wings bird =4y
The specimens have a total of 4384 wings
so, we get
we can divide both sides by 2
so, we get system of equations as
we can solve for x and y
We can subtract both equations
so,
number of birds with 2 wings is 1824
number of birds with 4 wings is 184.............Answer
Answer:
(a) We will form an equation of line from the points given (6,10) and (2,15)
Using:
On substituting the values in the formula above we will get the required equation of line.
On simplification we will get:
(b) We need to tell at day 0 put x=0 in above equation:
Anika worked for 70 hours on the set up crew on the day the fair arrived at the fairgrounds day 0.
Now, we need to tell decrease per day which is equal to the slope of line
To find the slope compare the equation with general equation which is y=mx+c where m is slope
Here, in
which is the decrease per day.
