R=number of robbins
b=number of blue jays


twice as many robins as blue jays
r=2b


21 blue jays and robbins
r+b=21
subsitute
r=2b so subsitute 2b for r
2b+b=21
3b=21
divide both sides by 3
b=7

she counted 7 blue jays

Call the number of robins 'r' and the number of blue jays 'b'.

We are told there are twice as many robins as blue jays, thus:

r=2b

We are also told there are 21 birds total:
r+b=21

By substitution:
2b+b=21
3b=21
b=7

Then using the other equation with known values:
r+b=21
r=21-b
r=21-7
r=14

There are 7 blue jays and 14 robins. 

Check by backsubstitution:
r+b-21
14+7=21
21=21 CHECKS.

Elza [17]

Answer:

30x^2y^4z^4

Step-by-step explanation:

If we multiply 6x by 5x, we get 30x^2.

If we multiply y by y^{3}, we get y^{4}.

z stays the same, since it's not being multiplied by anything.
