Answer:

9 pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following numbers of heads:

pigs (p) + chickens (c) = 16 animal heads (1)

And the following numbers of feet:

4p + 2c = 50 animal feet   (2)

From equation (1):

p = 16 - c (3)

By entering equation (3) into (2) we have:

4(16 - c) + 2c = 50

64 - 4c + 2c = 50

c = 7

Now, entering the value of c into equation (3) we have the next value of p:

p = 16 - c

p = 16 - 7

p = 9

Therefore, the number of pigs that Henry has is 9.

I hope it helps you!

A rectangular auditorium seats 1564 people. the number of seats in each row exceeds the number of rows by 1212. find the number
yanalaym [24]
<span>We can safely assume that 1212 is a misprint and the number of seats in a row exceeds the number of rows by 12. Let r = # of rows and s = # of seats in a row. Then, the total # of seats is T = r x s = r x ( r + 12), since s is 12 more than the # of rows. Then r x (r + 12) = 1564 or r**2 + 12*r - 1564 = 0, which is a quadratic equation. The general solution of a quadratic equation is: x = (-b +or- square-root( b**2 - 4ac))/2a In our case, a = 1, b = +12 and c = -1564, so x = (-12 +or- square-root( 12*12 - 4*1*(-1564) ) ) / 2*1 = (-12 +or- square-root( 144 + 6256 ) ) / 2 = (-12 +or- square-root( 6400 ) ) / 2 = (-12 +or- 80) / 2 = 34 or - 46 We ignore -46 since negative rows are not possible, and have: rows = 34 and seats per row = 34 + 12 = 46 as a check 34 x 46 = 1564 = total seats</span>
