Let x be the page number then x+1 would be the other page number (because the pages are two facing pages which means they follow on consecutively)
Then
(x)(x+1) = 156
x^2 + x - 156 = 0
x = 12 or x = -13( but x can't be a negative number)
so x = 12
and the next page is 13
Answer:
The possible number of goats is 6 and the possible number of chicken is 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
chicken=c
Goat=g
the number of chickens could be four times the number of goats
c=4g
Total number of animals=30
c+g=30
Recall, c=4g
So,
c+g=30
4g+g=30
5g=30
Divide both sides by 5
5g/5=30/5
g=6
Recall,
c+g=30
c+6=30
c=30-6
=24
c=24
The possible number of goats is 6 and the possible number of chicken is 24 making a total of 30 animals
Your answer would be 36,000 because he gets 3000 every month and every month for a year he would get your answer which would be 3000×12 which equals 36,000
