In an aquarium, there are starfish and octopi in a tank. The total number of animals in the tank is 30. The total number of legs in the tank is 171. Assuming that all animals have all their legs, find the number of each type of animal in the tank. (Starfish have 5 legs and Octopus have 8 legs)

(solve using substitution method. MUST SHOW WORK)

Answers

Answer 1

There are 23 sharks and 7 octopi in the aquarium

Let the number of sharks in the aquarium be xLet the number of octopi in the tank be y

If the total number of animals in the tank is 30, therefore;

x + y = 30 ....................... 1

If the total number of legs in the tank is 171 with starfish having 5 legs and Octopus having 8 legs, the required expression will be:

5x + 8y = 171 ................ 2

From equation 1, x = 30 - y ................... 3

Substitute equation 3 into 2 to have:

5(30-y) + 8y = 171

150 - 5y + 8y = 171

3y = 171 - 150

3y = 21

y = 7

Recall that x = 30 - y

x = 30 - 7

x = 23

Hence there are 23 sharks and 7 octopi in the aquarium

A man has 25 sweets and his son has 55 sweets.find the number of sweets that the man has to give to his son so that his son would have 4times as many sweets as him.

Answers

Sweets man has to give is x
Man's sweets = 25 - x
The boy's sweets = 55 + x
This number is 4 times

55 + x = 4(25 - x)
55 + x = 100 - 4x
55 - 100 = -4x - x
-45 = - 5x
45 ÷ 5 = x
6.67 = x
6.67 ≈ 7
the man gives 7 sweets to the son so the son would have 4 times as much as the father

Answer:

9sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

sweets man has to give to his son=x

mans sweets=25-x

child's sweets=55=x

55+x=4(25-x)

55+x=100-4x

4x+x=100-55

5x=45

x=45/5

x=9

Answer: The man has to give nine sweets for his son to have four times as many sweets as him.

Answers

Answer:

1,1

Step-by-step explanation:

x=1

y=1

if this is substitution then x IS 7y-6 so then you can replace the x in the other problem with 7y-6 but since it is 5x you will need to do 5(7y-6) which is 35y-30-4y=1

add 30 to both sides to get 35y-4y=31

subtract 4y from 35y to get 31y=31 get the y alone by dividing 31 from both sides to get y=1. then replace the y in the problem where the x is already alone to get x=7×1-6

7x1 is 7 so then 7-6=1 and that gives us x=1.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation :

How many different types of triangles are there?

There are 6 types of triangles.

➝ Scalene Triangle➝ Isosceles Triangle➝ Equilateral Triangle➝ Acute Triangle➝ Obtuse Triangle➝ Right Triangle

[tex]\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}[/tex]

Draw and name the 4 different triangles.

[tex]\green\implies[/tex] The diagram of 4 different triangles is in the given pic. So, please check out the attachment.

The name of four triangles are :

➝ Right angled triangle ➝ Isosceles triangle ➝ Equilateral triangle ➝ Scalene triangle

[tex]\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}[/tex]

Write the properties of each triangle.

1. Acute-angled Triangle

[tex]\pink\implies[/tex] Each of the angles is below 90⁰, and the sum of those angles is always 180⁰. 

2. Right-angled Triangle

[tex]\pink\implies[/tex] One side being 90⁰, the other angles have to be acute. It is because the addition of all internal angles always produce 180⁰. 

3. Obtuse-angled Triangle

[tex]\pink\implies[/tex] Naturally, the other two angles have to be smaller than an obtuse angle. It is so that the internal sum of all the angles remains 180⁰.

4. Equilateral Triangle

[tex]\pink\implies[/tex] Since the internal angles add up to 180⁰, each angle has to be equal in an equilateral triangle. In this case, each angle of this triangle is 60⁰.

5. Isosceles Triangle

[tex]\pink\implies[/tex] Since two sides have the same length, the third side has to have a different length. On top of that, the angle of the other side is also dissimilar to the previous angles. 

6. Scalene Triangle

[tex]\pink\implies[/tex] In this case, the lengths of the three sides are diverse. However, the sum of dissimilar internal angles also has to be 180⁰. 

[tex]\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}[/tex]

Draw a circle and name the different parts of the circle.

[tex]\green\implies[/tex] The diagram of circle is in the given pic. So, please check out the attachment.

Parts of circle :

A circle can have different parts and based on the position and shape, these can be named as follows:

➝ Centre➝ Radius➝ Diameter➝ Circumference➝ Tangent➝ Secant➝ Chord ➝ Arc➝ Segment➝ Sector

[tex]\begin{gathered}\end{gathered}[/tex]

Find the relationship between radius and diameter.

[tex]\pink\implies[/tex] The relationship between radius and diameter is the diameter of a circle is twice of its radius.

A line passes through (-5, -3) and is parallel to -3x - 7y = 10. The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is _____.

Answers

Answer:  y = -(3/7)x - (36/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert -3x - 7y = 10 to standard slope intercept form:  y=mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).

-3x - 7y = 10

-7y = 3x + 10

y = -(3/7)x - (10/7)

This line has a slope of -(3/7).  Any line that is parallel will have the same slope, so we can write y = -(3/7)x + b to start our new line.  

We want a value of b that forces the line to go trough point (-5,-3).  Use this point in the partial equation and solve for b:

y = -(3/7)x + b

-3 = -(3/7)(-5) + b

-3 = (15/7) + b

b = -3 - (15/7)

b = -(21/7) - (15/7)

b = -(36/7), or -5 1/7

y = -(3/7)x - (36/7)

No steps are wrong. To solve this equation, you need to isolate the y. So, you would add 4.6 to both sides to cancel out the 4.6 on the right side and isolate the y.

Calculate the speed of an object from 0-1 sec.

Answers

Answer:

. 2 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate of change in distance per time.

in this case you can simply observe the graph to get the final and initial distances & time.

The motion starts from 0 and moves to 2 if you look at the y axis of the graph.

Thus, the initial distance is 0m & the final distance is 2m

The time is specified in the question to have an initial of 0 sec and a final of 1 sec.

now let's plot our values out as a given.

S1 = 0m t1 = 0 sec

S2 = 2m t2 = 1 sec

and so you're going to have to find the change in time and displacement individually to later engage both in your formula which is - ∆V = ∆S / ∆t

∆S = S2 - S1 = 2m - 0m = 2m.

∆t = t2 - t1 = 1 sec - 0 sec = 1 sec.

∆V = ∆S / ∆t = 2m / 1 sec = 2m/sec (2m/s)
