To solve this problem, let us first assign some variables. Let us say that:

x = pigs

y = chickens

z = ducks

 

From the problem statement, we can formulate the following equations:

1. y + z = 30                                         ---> only chicken and ducks have feathers

2. 4 x + 2 y + 2 z = 120                      ---> pig has 4 feet, while chicken and duck has 2 each

3. 2 x + 2 y + 2 z = 90                        ---> each animal has 2 eyes only

 

Rewriting equation 1 in terms of y:

y = 30 – z

Plugging this in equation 2:

4 x + 2 (30 – z) + 2 z = 120

4 x + 60 – 2z + 2z = 120

4 x = 120 – 60

4 x = 60

x = 15

 

From the given choices, only one choice has 15 pigs. Therefore the answers are:

She has 15 pigs, 12 chickens, and 18 ducks.

Answer:

y = 4; g(7) = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The meaning of g(7) is wherever you see an x in g(x) you put a 7. In this case you are being told that x = 7

So go to 7 on the x axis, go up until you hit the blue line which is g(x) and then read what it says on the y axis. It shows 4 and that is your answer.
