Answer:

22 hens and 78 sheep

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hens = x

Number of sheep = y

Total heads = 100

x +  y = 100      --------------------(I)

 x = 100 - y

Number of legs of 'x' hen = 2*x = 2x

Number of legs of 'y' sheep = 4*y = 4y

total legs = 356

2x + 4y =  356 -----------------------(II)

Substitute x = 100 -y in equation (II)

2(100 - y) + 4y = 356

2*100 - 2*y + 4y = 356

200 <u>- 2y + 4y</u>    = 356 {Combine like terms}

        200  + 2y = 356          {Subtract 200 from both sides}

                   2y = 356 - 200

                  2y = 156       {Divide both sides by 2}

                    y = 156/2

                  y = 78

Plugin  y = 78 in equation (I)

x + 78 = 100

       x = 100 - 78

       x = 22

22 hens and 78 sheep

Which is the equation of a line that has a slope ot 1/2 and passes through the point 2, -3​
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

y=1/2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the slope, 1/2. So you can plug it into the equation (y=mx+b)

You also need to plug in the x and y coordinate your given so you'll have

-3=1/2(2)+b. Then you solve for b, which is -4. You now have your answer, y=1/2x-4.

What is the solution to the inequality below x2&gt;25​
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Ans: (-5, 5)

-5 < x < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form: f(x) = x^2 - 25 < 0.

First solve x^2 - 25 = 0 --> x = +- 5

Use the algebraic method to solve f(x) < 0. Between the 2 real roots (-5) and (5), f(x) < 0, as opposite in sign to a = 1.

Answer by open interval: (-5, 5)
