C=chicken
p=pigs
c+p=13~p=13-c (plug in)
2c+4p=40
2c+4(13-c)=40
2c+52-4c=40
-2c=-12
c=6
6+p=13
p=7
6 chickens
7 pigs

Let p = pigs 
and c = chickens 

p + c = 13  ( this is the total number of animals in the barn) 

chicken have 2 legs and pigs have 4 legs 
2c + 4p = 40  ( this is the equation for the total number of legs) 

now lets solve for one variable using the first equation 

p+c = 13
p = 13 -c 

now lets plug that in the 2nd equation
 
2c+4p = 40
2c + 4(13-c) = 40 
2c + 52 - 4c = 40 
now we reduce

-2c = -12

c = 6 
so there are 6 chickens now lets find how many pigs there are by plugging into our first equation

p+6 = 13
p = 7 

so there are 6 chickens and 7 pigs

Question 4(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (07.04 LC) Factor completely 49x2 − 9. (7x + 3)(7x − 3) (7x + 3)(x − 3) (7x − 3)(7x −
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We take a look at this expression: 49x^2-9 and notice that both terms are square numbers. 49x^2=(7x)^2 and 9=3^2.

There is a specific formula that I highly recommend you memorize involving differences of squares. It states that given the difference of squares a^2-b^2, it can always be factored into (a+b)(a-b).

Here, we can apply that. In this case, a = 7x and b = 3. So:

49x^2-9=(7x)^2-3^2=(7x+3)(7x-3)

Thus, the answer is A.

Hope this helps!
