Set the number of chickens as x and number of cows as <span>y
</span>so the farmer has total 28 animals
so x+y=28 
you know that since the animals are healthy
chickens will have 2 legs    and
cows will have 4 legs
the total number of legs are 64
so 2x+4y=64
since you want to find the number of cows 
so from the first equation <span>x+y=28
</span>we will get another equation <span>x=28-y
</span>then plug into <span>2x+4y=64
2(28-y)+4y=64
56-2y+4y=64
56+2y=64
-56      -56
2y=8
y=4
</span>

What's -128+138r=718 equal
german

Answer:

r = 6 3/23

Step-by-step explanation:

-128+138r=718

add 128 to each side

-128+128+138r=718+128

138r = 846

divide each side by 138

138r/138 = 846/138

r = 846/138

divide top and bottom by 2

r = 423/69

divide top and bottom by 3

r = 141/23

change this to a mixed number

r = 6 3/23
