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

3/4 W + 8 = 1/3 w – 7
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

<h2>W = -36</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{3}{4}W+8=\dfrac{1}{3}W-7\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\\\\dfrac{3}{4}W+8-8=\dfrac{1}{3}W-7-8\\\\\dfrac{3}{4}W=\dfrac{1}{3}W-15\qquad\text{multiply both sides by}\ LCM(4,\ 3)=12\\\\12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^3\cdot\dfrac{3}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}W=12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^4\cdot\dfrac{1}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}W-(12)(15)\\\\(3)(3W)=(4)(1W)-180\\\\9W=4W-180\qquad\text{subtract}\ 4W\ \text{from both sides}\\\\9W-4W=4W-4W-180\\\\5W=-180\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\dfrac{5W}{5}=\dfrac{-180}{5}\\\\W=-36

HELP! WILL GIVE BRAINLEST!The graph below shows an angle in standard position. What is the degree measure of the angle depicted?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

45 degree angle

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the line crossing the middle of quadrant four was on the y-axis, that would be known as a 90 degree angle.  Since it was cut in half, that would become a 45 degree angle.

Oliver works at a bookstore.He packed 20 identical paperbacks and 9 identical textbooks in a box. The total mass of the books wa
max2010maxim [7]
In the problem, the first equation should be represented like this base on the variable given in the problem:

20p + 9t = 44.4

with that equation, the second equation would is given by this formula, in response with the additional number of paperback and textbook

21p + 14t = 51

to get the system equation in getting the mass of each variable, you should subtract the two equation to simplified the formula.

   20p + 9t = 44.4
 - 21p + 14t = 51
-------------------------
p + 5t = 6.6 // this is the system equation that could be use in getting the mass of each object

Which equation can be used to solve the problem? 75 percent of what number is 150
Stolb23 [73]

Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach.
