Since there are more parakeets than canaries, it is not possible to have only 1 of each bird in each cage <u>and</u> have the same number of birds in each cage.
He could use 42 cages, putting a canary in with the parakeet in 18 of them. Then he would have 18 cages with 2 birds each, and 24 cages with 1 bird each.
The only way to have the same number of birds (1) in all cages is to have 60 cages, 42 of which have 1 parakeet, and 18 of which have 1 canary.
_____
If more than 1 of each kind of bird can be put in the cage, the collection of birds could be put into 6 cages, each of which would be home to 7 parakeets and 3 canaries.

Answer:
The matched pairs are:
(A, 4), (B, 1), (C, 2) and (D, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is:
Match each description of an algebraic expression with the symbolic form of that expression
:
A. 2 terms; variables = x and y
B. 3 terms; variables = x and y; constant = 3
C. 2 terms; variable = x; constant = 4.5
D. 3 terms; variables = x and y; constant = 2
1. x - 2y + 3
2. 4.5 - 2x
3. 4.5x + 2 - 3y
4. 4.5y - 2x
Solution:
A. 2 terms; variables = x and y ⇒ 4. 4.5y - 2x
B. 3 terms; variables = x and y; constant = 3 ⇒
1. x - 2y + 3
C. 2 terms; variable = x; constant = 4.5 ⇒ 2. 4.5 - 2x
D. 3 terms; variables = x and y; constant = 2 ⇒ 3. 4.5x + 2 - 3y
