Horse = x = 1 head and 4 feet
Chicken =y = 1 head and 2 feet
Horse + chicken = x + y = 43 ( total heads)
Horse = 43 - y
4x + 2y = 122
4(43-y) + 2y = 122
Simplify:
172-4y + 2y = 122
Combine like terms
172-2y = 122
Subtract 172 from both sides
-2y = -50
Divide both sides by-2
Y = 25
X + y = 43
X + 25 = 43
X = 18
There are 18 horses and 25 chickens.

Answer:
yoi look for what you add to the equation to make it a perfect square by dividing 6 by 2 then add 2^2 to both sides.
(6.5,7.5) is the midpoint c
The equation that describes the relation between the number of games (g) and the number of teams (n) is given as follows:
g = n^2 - n
Now, we are given that the number of games is 132. This means that g=132. To know the number of teams, substitute with the given g in the given equation as follows:
g = n^2 - n
132 = n^2 - n
n^2 - n - 132 = 0 .......> factorize this expression
(n-12)(n-11) = 0
This means that:
either n = 12 teams
Or n = -11 teams (this solution is rejected as the number of teams cannot be negative)
Therefore, based on the above calculations, if the number of games is 132, then, the number of teams is 12
