Answer:
m =
Step-by-step explanation:
m - = 1 -
Multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 2 and 3 ) to clear the fractions
6m - 3(m - 1) = 6 - 2(m - 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
6m - 3m + 3 = 6 - 2m + 4 , that is
3m + 3 = - 2m + 10 ( add 2m to both sides )
5m + 3 = 10 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
5m = 7 ( divide both sides by 5 )
m =
Answer:
There are 10 pigs and 30 chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pigs be x
let the number of chickens be y
Then there are 40 heads . So the total number of pigs and chickens is 40
x + y = 40-----------------------(1)
We know that pigs have 4 legs and chickens have 2 legs
4x + 2y = 100----------------------(2)
Solving (1) and (2)
multiply (1) by 2
2x + 2y = 80-------------------------(3)
subtract (3) from (2)
4x + 2y = 100
2x + 2y = 80
----------------------------
2x = 20
----------------------------
x = 10
Now Substituting x in (1), we get
10 + y = 40
y = 40 - 10
y = 30
