Answer:

<h2><u><em>P = 16</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>C = 24-P = 8</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Heads: P + C = 24

C = 24 - P

Legs: 4P + 2C = 80

Substitute, from heads: 4P + 2 (24 - P) = 80

4P + 48 - 2P = 80

2P = 32

<u><em>P = 16</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>C = 24-P = 8</em></u>

====================

Check:

P + C = 16 + 8 = 24

4P + 2C = 4(16) + 2(8) = 64 + 16 = 80

The purple pathers helipad is 1/3 of a mile from the control center we'll drop the food when it's 1/4 of the way there how many
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

1/12 of a mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find a common denominator. In this instance, we can use the denominator of 12 because both 3 and 4 are multiples of 12.

2. Multiply each fraction (numerator and denominator) to convert them.

1/3(4/4) = 4/12

1/4(3/3) = 3/12

3. Subtract.

4/12-3/12 = 1/12

What is the value of triangle in the equation shown? 8 x 4 = (triangle x 7) - (triangle x 3)
GarryVolchara [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  triangle = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The right side can be factored so that you have ...

  8 x 4 = (triangle x 7) - (triangle x 3)

  8 x 4 = triangle x (7 - 3) . . . . use the distributive property

  8 x 4 = triangle x 4 . . . . . . simplify

  8 = triangle . . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 4

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to y = -7/4x?
dexar [7]
A line is perpendiculat to another which has a slope of m if the perpendicular line has a slope of -1/m.
That means that if the product of slopes of two lines is -1, the two lines are perpendicular.

Here, y1=-7/4x, or m=-7/4
The perpendicular should have a slope of -1/m=-1/(-7/4)=4/7
