QuestionШилэн хоргонд туршилтын аалз, шоргоолжнууд байх ба аалз нь шоргоолжноос 50-аар цөөн юм. Аалз 8 хөлтэй, шоргоолж 6 хөлтэй ба харин нийт хөлийг нь тоолоход 1000 болж байв. Хэдэн аалз байсан бэ?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. Let the number of spiders be x x .
2. The number of ants is x+50 x + 50 because there are 50 more ants than spiders.
3. Each spider has 8 legs.
4. Each ant has 6 legs.
5. The total number of legs is 1000.

STEP 2

Write an equation for the total number of legs. The total number of legs is the sum of the legs of the spiders and the ants.
8x+6(x+50)=1000 8x + 6(x + 50) = 1000

STEP 3

Distribute the 6 in the equation.
8x+6x+300=1000 8x + 6x + 300 = 1000

STEP 4

Combine like terms for x x .
14x+300=1000 14x + 300 = 1000

STEP 5

Subtract 300 from both sides to isolate the term with x x .
14x=700 14x = 700

STEP 6

Divide both sides by 14 to solve for x x .
x=70014 x = \frac{700}{14}

STEP 7

Calculate the value of x x .
x=50 x = 50
There were 50 spiders.
