I'll be honest, this is a pretty interesting question. I've never seen anything like it before!
We can start off by making equations with the given. If there are 100 heads, that means that the total number of chickens and pigs combined is 100. Thus, we can form our first equation:
p + c = 100
('p' represents number of pigs, and 'c' represents number of chickens)
We also know that there are 270 legs total. Since chickens have 2 and pigs have 4, we can make the following equation:
2c + 4p = 270
I suppose the quickest way to solve for this equation is to use the subtraction method. Put the equations on top of each other:
2c + 4p = 270
c + p = 100
___________
Multiply the bottom equation by -2;
2c + 4p = 270
-2c -2p = 100
____________
"Add" these two equations together:
2c + 4p = 270
-2c -2p = -200
___________
2p = 70
Divide both sides by 2:
p = 35
Ah, finally. Now that we know that there are 35 pigs, input this variable into the first equation to find the number of chickens:
c + 35 = 100
Subtract:
c = 65
There are 35 pigs and 65 chickens

The answer is 210. You're welcome friend.
Answer:
3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 10 letters in the word "statistics".
Out of which, there are 3 s's and 3 t's.
So, the question asks what's the probability to get a S or a T out of 10 letters.
Since the number of S's (3) and the number of T's equal 6, that means you have 6 chances out of 10 to pick an S or a T.
6/10 or if we simplify/reduce it... we get 3/5.
First step you should do is s<span>implify both sides of your equation:
</span>29-(x+8)=6x-7
Distribute the Negative Sign:
29+-1(x+8)=6x-7
29+-1x+(-1)(8)=6x-7
29+-x+-8=6x-7
29+-x+-8=6x+-7
<span>Combine Like Terms:
</span>(-x)+(29+-8)=6x-7
-x+21=6x-7
<span>Subtract 6x from both sides:
</span>-x+21-6x=6x-7-6x
-7x+21=-7
<span>Subtract 21 from both sides:
</span>-7x+21-21=-7-21
-7x=-28
<span>Divide both sides by -7:
</span>-7x/-7 = -28/-7
And now your answer should be:
x=4

Answer:
5/9=1/2
12/13=1
2/13=0
Step-by-step explanation:
These are just based on what I think and also
5/9=0.55... so closer to 0.5 which =1/2
12/13 is just really close to 13/13
2/13 is really close to 0/13 rather than 6.5/13, which is 1/2
