Answer:

13 sheep, 19 chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start to solve this problem by assigning variables. First, let's assign the number of sheep there are as x and the number of chickens there are as y.

Because each sheep has 4 legs, the number of legs for each sheep would be 4x. Similarly, because each chicken has 2 legs, the number of legs for each chicken would be 2y. Each animal would have 1 head, so the number of heads would just be x and y. Because the number of legs in total are 90, 4x + 2y=90. Because the number of heads in total are 32, x+y=32.

There is now a system of equations with two unknown variables and two equations. There are many ways to solve this, but for me, the easiest would be elimination. First, I would double the second equation, 2x+2y=64. Then, I would subtract that from the first equation, eliminating y. 2x=26. Solving for x gives 13. We can then plug that value into the second equation, making y be 32-13=19. This means that x=13 and y=19, meaning that there are 13 sheep and 19 chicken.

morpeh [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x + 4

Plugin x = 3 in the equation,

y = 3*3 + 4

 = 9 + 4

y = 13

Plugin x = 4 in equation,

y = 3*4 + 4

  = 12 + 4

y = 16

Plugin x = 5 in the equation,

y = 3*5 + 4

  = 15 + 4

y = 19

2) y =x - 7

Plugin x = 10 in the equation

y = 10 - 7

y = 3

Plugin x = 15 in the equation

y = 15 - 7

y = 8

Plugin x = 20 in the equation

y = 20 - 7

y = 13
