Step-by-step explanation:

Claim: There's 14 Goats and 9 Chickens!!

Data:

Working with the Provided Information.

Let the Number of goats be x

let the Number of Chickens be y

x + y = 23..... (i)

Since the goat Possesses Two Pair of Legs... Which is a Total of 4 Legs... We say Let its Contribution be 4x.

The Chicken has Only a Pair Of Legs...Which is a total of 2 legs.... We say let its contribution be 2y

4x + 2y = 74 .....(ii)

BRINGING BOTH EQUATIONS TOGETHER.

x + y = 23

4x + 2y = 74

From Eqn i

x= 23 - y

Substitute into eqn ii

4(23 - y ) + 2y = 74

92 - 4y + 2y = 74

92 - 2y = 74

2y = 92 - 74

2y = 18

y= 9.

Substitute y into any of the eqns to get x

x + y = 23

x + 9=23

x = 23 - 9

x = 14

This simply proves that there are 14 Goats and 9 Chickens!!!.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

A house is built on coordinates (2,9). There is a water pipeline that runs along the line y = 2 3 x – 1. What is the approximate

Basile [38]

Answer:

7.21 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest length needed to connect the house to the existing pipeline is the perpendicular distance between the location of the house (2,9) and the line y = 2/3x - 1.

The perpendicular distance (d) between a point ( $x_1,y_1$ ) and the line Ax + By + C = 0 is given as:

$d=\frac{|Ax_1+By_1+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2} }$

The line is given by y = 2/3 x - 1; 2/3x - y - 1 = 0. The point = (2, 9)

hence A = 2/3, B = -1, C = -1, $x_1=2,y_1=9\\$ . Therefore:

$d=\frac{|\frac{2}{3}(2)+(-1)(9)+(-1) |}{\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}^2+(-1)^2 } } \\\\d=7.21$

The school yearbook committee surveyed the student body for an article about colleges in which they are pursuing enrollment. The

emmasim [6.3K]

Out of 170 students in 12th grade, 27+23 = 50 students have more than 1 college in mind.

So 50/170, or 29% is your answer.

Solve: 9^8-x= 27^x-3

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

x = 4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, alter the equation until both exponents have the same base. We know that 9^3 is 27. Therefore, we can change 27^(x-3) into 9^3(x-3).

Now, the equation can be written as 9^(8-x) = 9^(3x-9)

Now that the bases are the same, we can cancel them out and just solve for the exponents. This will look like:

8-x = 3x-9.

8 = 4x - 9

17 = 4x

x = 4.25
