0.5% or 1/2% of say "x" is 250, whilst "x" is the 100%.

\begin{array}{ccll} \%&amount\\ \cline{1-2} \frac{1}{2}&250\\[1em] 100&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~ \frac{1}{2}~~}{100}=\cfrac{250}{x}\implies \cfrac{1}{200}=\cfrac{250}{x}\implies x = 50000

Which graph represents a linear function?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

y + 2x = 10 (third option)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that every time x increases by one, y increases by -2, meaning that the slope is -2.

We also know that the y-intercept is 10 because that is the value of y when x is equal to 0.

Now, we can create the equation using the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept).

y = -2x + 10

If you look at the third option, that equation is just a rearranged form of our equation (y + 2x = 10).

This means that the third option is correct.

A farmer owns pigs, chickens, and ducks. When all her animals are together, she has 30 feathered animals, and the animals all to
tatiyna

To solve this problem, let us first assign some variables. Let us say that:

x = pigs

y = chickens

z = ducks

 

From the problem statement, we can formulate the following equations:

1. y + z = 30                                         ---> only chicken and ducks have feathers

2. 4 x + 2 y + 2 z = 120                      ---> pig has 4 feet, while chicken and duck has 2 each

3. 2 x + 2 y + 2 z = 90                        ---> each animal has 2 eyes only

 

Rewriting equation 1 in terms of y:

y = 30 – z

Plugging this in equation 2:

4 x + 2 (30 – z) + 2 z = 120

4 x + 60 – 2z + 2z = 120

4 x = 120 – 60

4 x = 60

x = 15

 

From the given choices, only one choice has 15 pigs. Therefore the answers are:

She has 15 pigs, 12 chickens, and 18 ducks.
