I'm not sure, but what I got was -8.5, since it is only stating that it is -17 and 5, and you need to figure out Point B, when it is between A and 0. So, you don't pay attention to 1-5. You only want -17 through 0. -17 divided by two would be -8.5
Let t and p represent the numbers of turtles and pelicans, respectively.
... 2p + 4t = 114 . . . . . . . the number of legs is 114
... p + t = 34 . . . . . . . . . the number of animals is 34
Divide the first equation by 2 and subtract the second.
... (2p +4t)/2 - (p +t) = (114)/2 - 34
... t = 23 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
Then p = 34 - t = 11
There are 11 pelicans and 23 turtles.

You can get to the same answer by considering the number of legs you would have if all the animals were pelicans. That would be 34*2 = 68. The is 46 fewer legs than there actually are. Each turtle that replaces one of those 34 pelicans adds 2 legs to the total, so to add 46 legs, we must replace 46/2 = 23 pelicans with turtles. That is, there are 23 turtles and 11 pelicans.

Answer: There are 99 three-legged-cows and 28 chickens.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of three-legged-cows and y be the number of chickens.
Number of legs in chicken = 2
The according to the question, we have the following equations :-

Multiplying 2 to the equation (1), we get

Now, subtract equation (3) from (2), we get

Put x= 99 in (1), we get

Hence, there are 99 three-legged-cows and 28 chickens.
