ANSWER:
O The retired question

7 donkeys

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A system consisting of donkeys and tourists

Heads = 50

Legs = 114

Required

Calculate number of donkeys.

Represent donkeys with D and tourists with T.

By means of identification; donkeys and tourists (human) both have 1 head.

This implies that

Number of Heads = D + T

50 = D + T Equation 1

While each donkey have 4 legs, each tourists have 2 legs.

This implies that

Number of legs = 4D + 2T

114 = 4D + 2T Multiply both sides by ½

114 * ½ = (4D + 2T) * ½

57 = 4D * ½ + 2T * ½

57 = 2D + T Equation 2

Subtract equation 1 from 2

57 = 2D + T

- (50 = D + T)

57 - 50 = 2D - D + T - T

7 = D

Recall that D represents the number of donkeys.

So, D = 7 implies that

The total number of donkeys are 7

step-by-step explanation:

given perimeter: 28cm

length: 9cm

atp,

2(l+w)=p of the reactangle

2(9+x)=28

18+2x=28

2x=28-18

x=10/2

x=5

therefore width is 5 cm

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x
