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

Maggie's brother is 7 years younger than four times her age. The sum of their ages is 68.
How old is Maggie?

Answers

Answer:  15 years old

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

Explanation:

m = Maggie's age (some positive whole number)

4m = four times her age

4m-7 = seven years younger than 4m = brother's age

Add up her age (m) and her brother's age (4m-7) to get a sum of 68.

m+(4m-7) = 68

5m-7 = 68

5m = 68+7

5m = 75

m = 75/5

m = 15

Maggie is currently 15 years old.

Her brother is currently 4m-7 = 4*15-7 = 60-7 = 53 years old.

Their current year ages add to: 15+53 = 68 which confirms the answer.

how to solve the following system y=(1/2)x^2+2x-1 and 3x-y=1

Answers

Answer:

(0,-1),(2,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-y=1

0.5[tex]x^{2}[/tex]+2x-1=y

Substitute the equation of y into the other equation

3x-(0.5[tex]x^{2}[/tex]+2x-1)=1

3x-0.5[tex]x^{2}[/tex]-2x+1=1

95 is not a term here as the next verse should be 98 as it is a 94 term in this pattern

95 will not be a term in the sequence 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, ....., as the value of n for the nth term is not integer.

What is arithmetic sequence ?

An ordered group of numbers with a shared difference between each succeeding word is known as an arithmetic sequence.

The given sequence of numbers is,

1, 5, 9, 13, 17, .....

The first term of the given sequence a₁ =1,

From the given sequence, the common difference pair of two consecutive terms d = 4,

Let nth term of the sequence aₙ= 95,

By arithmetic sequence formula,

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1).d

Substitute the value of aₙ and d,

95 = 1 + (n-1).4

94 = (n-1). 4

(n-1) = 23.5

n = 24.5

The value of n can't be decimal, so 95 can't be a term of the given sequence.

Solve for y

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so we have an equation with two variables (y and x) and I need to solve for y in terms of x. That is, I need to isolate y one one side with all the other terms on the other side.

First, let's distribute the 1/3 on the right side of the equation onto the x and 6 inside the parentheses.

y + 2 = 1/3(x + 6)

y + 2 = 1/3(x) + 1/3(6)

y + 2 = 1/3x + 2

Now, let's isolate y on the left side by removing 2 from both sides.

y + 2 = 1/3x + 2

y + 2 - 2 = 1/3x + 2 - 2

y = 1/3x

So, y is equal to 1/3x. Hopefully that's helpful! :)

A 9-foot roll of waxed paper costs $4.32. What is the price per inch?

What is square of number?

The definition of a square number states that they are numbers that have been multiplied by themselves. In other terms, a natural number is referred to as a square number if it is multiplied by itself.

Decimal squares are fairly simple to calculate, and the process is the same for both whole numbers (integers) and decimals.

Given numbers 29 and 37

to express in form of sum of two square

let = 29 = a² + b²

the perfect square number near 29 is 25

29 = 25 + 4

29 = 5² + 2²

and 37 = a² + b²

the perfect square near 37 is 36

37 = 36 + 1

37 = 6² + 1²

Hence the numbers in sum of two squares are,

29 = 5² + 2² and 37 = 6² + 1²
