Answer:
5 pigs
Step-by-step explanation:
A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks. Altogether there are 42 legs. How many pigs are there?
Let us represent:
Number of pigs = x
Number of ducks = y
Our system of equations is given as:
A farmhouse shelters 16 animals, some are pigs, and some are ducks.
x + y = 16...... Equation 1
x = 16 - y
Altogether there are 42 legs.
Ducks have 2 legs(feet) , pigs have 4 legs,
4x + 2y = 42..... Equation 2
We substitute
16 - y for x in Equation 2
Hence:
4(16 - y) + 2y = 42
64 - 4y + 2y = 42
Collect like terms
- 4y + 2y = 42 - 64
-2y =- 22
y = -22/-2
y = 11 ducks
Solving for x.
x = 16 - y
x = 16 - 11
x = 5 pigs
Therefore, we have 5 pigs
258 cubic inches
Since the boxes are kind of on their own—>
First box: 7*2*12 = 168
Second box: 5*2*9=90
168+90 = 258
-14 + x
Is the correct answer
Answer:
$118.22
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract $130.00-$8.00= $122.00
Then subtract $122.00- $3.78 = $118.22
-5 times -5= 25
because the negative times negative=positive
