4 horses

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 elephants and 4 horses on one side. On the other, there are 12 horses. You can cancel 4 horses so now it's 2 elephants and 8 horses. To get the first side (2 elephants) to turn into one elephant, you need to divide by 2. So now, it is 1 elephant = 4 horses.

4

Step-by-step explanation:

4 because you can write the problem as  2e+4h=12h then you subtract 4h from both sides and get 2e=8h then you divide by 2 to get e=4 so one elephant is as strong as 4 horses

h=horses

e=elephant

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

24 units
