Farmer Tom raises ducks and horses on his farm. All of his horses need new horseshoes. He calls the farrier (a person who puts shoes on horses) but has a difficult time remembering how many of each animal he owns. He knows that there are a total of 24 animals. The animals have a total of 62 legs (all animals have either two or four legs). How many horses does Tom own?

Answers

Answer 1

h+d=24

h = 24-d

4h +2d = 62

4(24-d) +2d = 62

96 -4d +2d =62

96-2d =62

-2d =-34

d =-34/ -2 = 17

17 ducks

24-17 = 7 horses

The second answer would actually *not* be the correct one. The graph of the inverse of a function is one you obtain by reflecting the graph of the function across the line y = x (the dotted diagonal line in the first picture). Imagine “folding” the graph perfectly across that line. Which of those orange lines best represents that reflection?

40% of a certain number is 80 what is that number ?

Answers

let number be x
40/100(x)=80
x=200
Since 40%=80, 80% must be 160, so half of 40 is 20  so the 20% is 40, 40+160=200

Your answer is 200.

Is it possible for two linear functions whose graph are parallel to have the same y-intercept

Answers

If you have e two linear functions and on a graph they are parallel that means they have the same slope with different y intercepts. If they are parallel and have the same y intercept then they would be the same graph. So no it’s not possible because there would not be two different graphs/functions; they would be exactly the same.

What is the median of the data set: 15, -2, 0, 15, 2, 12

Answers

put in order
-2, 0, 2, 12, 15, 15
median is the middle number
so
median = (2+12)/2 = 14/2 = 7

hope it helps
To find the median, you have to number it from smallest to largest. 
-2,0,2,12,15,15
Since there are 2 medians, you find the average of those two numbers.
2+12 is 14/2 is 7.
7 is the median.

how can i turn 7/2 into a decimal

Answers

We can split it into two numbers : 6 and 1

half of 6 is 3 as you need 2 lots of 3 to make six
half of 1 is 0.5 as you need 2 lots of 0.5 to make 1

therefore 3 + 0.5 is 3.5.

you need 2 lots of 3.5 to make 7
One method would be to get the denominator into a more common form for dealing with decimal values. Notice the root dec- , the Latin root for "10" in the word decimal. This describes the fact that our common number system, the decimal system, is based on powers of 10. To prepare 7/2 for conversion to decimal, we should first make sure its denominator is some power of 10. To make the conversion, let's multiply it by 1 in the form of 5/5:

[tex] \frac{7}{2} \cdot \frac{5}{5} = \frac{35}{10} [/tex]

Or, as a mixed number:

[tex]3 \frac{5}{10} [/tex]

If you're familiar with how to read decimal values, "3 and 5 tenths" can be written in decimal form as 3.5.

Write an equation that represents a vertical translation 7 units down of the graph of g(x)=|x|

Answers

Translation involves changing the position of a function.

The equation that represents the new function is: [tex]\mathbf{g'(x) = |x| - 7}[/tex]

The parent function is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{g(x) = |x|}[/tex]

The rule of translating a function down is:

[tex]\mathbf{(x,y) \to (x,y-h)}[/tex]

Where: h is  the number of units translated down

i.e. h = 7

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{g'(x) = g(x) - h}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{g(x) = |x|}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{g'(x) = |x| - h}[/tex]

Substitute 7 for h

[tex]\mathbf{g'(x) = |x| - 7}[/tex]

Hence, the required function is: [tex]\mathbf{g'(x) = |x| - 7}[/tex]

https://brainly.com/question/12463306

The equation that represents the given situation is g(x) = |x|-7

To write an equation that represents a vertical translation 7 units down of the graph of g(x) = |x|, we need to modify the original function accordingly.

A vertical translation can be represented by adding or subtracting a constant to the function. In this case, since we are translating the graph downward by 7 units, we subtract 7 from the original function:

g(x) = |x| - 7

Thus, the equation that represents this vertical translation is g(x) = |x| - 7.

This results in each point on the graph of g(x) = |x| shifting 7 units downward, creating the new graph of g(x) = |x| - 7.

The answer to this question should be:

2. 115
3. definition of acute angle

Supplementary angles mean that the angle will add up to 180°. In this case, that means PQR + RQS= 180° where PQR=115°
So the RQS would be 180-115=65° Acute angle is when the angle is <90° so RQS is acute angles
