Remark
Let the pigs = p
Let the chickens = c
Givens
30 heads is another way of saying that there were 30 creatures in the barnyard. In addition each chicken has 2 legs and each pig has 4
c + p = 30
2C + 4P = 100 (2) Divide (2) by 2
C + 2P = 50 (3) Subtract (1) from (3)
<u>C + P = 30</u>
P = 20
So there were 20 pigs.
-3x+13=16
Move +13 to the other side. Sign changes from +13 to -13.
-3x+13-13=16-13
-3x=16-13
-3x=3
Divide by -3 for both sides.
-3/-3x=3/-3
Cross out -3 and -3, divide by -3, then becomes 1*1*x=x
x=-1
Answer: x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The two squares have equal areas.
For each square:
area = 32 units^2
For a square:
area = side^2
side^2 = 32
side = sqrt(32)
For the two squares, the length of the side is sqrt(32).
The sides of the squares are the legs of the right triangle.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(sqrt(32))^2 + (sqrt(32))^2 = x^2
32 + 32 = x^2
x^2 = 64
x = 8
Answer: 8 units
