So 1 head per squirel and 1 head per bird
4 legs per squirel and 2 legs per bird
s=number of squirels
b=birds
the equatinos should be
1b+1s=number of heads=16
and
2b+4s=number of legs=44
(note 2b=2 times b)
so we aolve

b+s=16 and 2b+4s=44
simplify the second equaiton by divideinb by 2
2b+4s=44
divide 2
b+2s=22

b+s=16
and
b+2s=22
we can actually add the two equations together with the first one made negative
-b-s=-16
<u>b+2s=22+</u>
0b+1s=6
s=6
subsitute
b+s=16
b+6=16
subtract 6 from both sides
b=10


10 birds
answer is c

Answer: ∠DOB: 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. we need an equation first. the sum of all angles (108°, n°, 2n°) is equal to 180°. we can depict this with the equation: 108°+2n°+n°=180°

2. now we can solve for the missing variable, n.

108°+3n°=180° → subtract both sides by → 3n°=72° → divide both sides by 3 → n=24°

3. now that we know that n=24°, we can solve the value of ∠DOB. we can see that ∠DOB is 2n° which we just plug the number we got for n into the equation. 2*24=48° meaning ∠DOB is 48°

hope this heped! ♡
