Answer:

4 pigs and 8 ducks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of ducks = d

Let the number of pigs =p

There are 12 animals in the barn,

  • p+d=12

Each pig has 4 legs and each duck has 2 legs.

Therefore:

Total Number of Legs = 4p+2d

  • 4p+2d=32

We solve the two resulting equations simultaneously.

From the first equation

p=12-d

Substitute p=12-d into 4p+2d=32

4(12-d)+2d=32

48-4d+2d=32

-2d=32-48

-2d=-16

d=8

Recall:

p=12-d=12-8=4

Therefore, there are 4 pigs and 8 ducks on the farm.

Answer: 8 ducks, 4 pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

Farmer Faye has her ducks and of her pigs in her barn. She has 12 animals in the barn and the animals have 32 legs.

A duck has 2 legs and a pig has 4 legs.

Let duck be d and pig be p

d+p = 12 .............. i

2d+4p= 32 .......... ii

Multiply equation i by 2

Multiply equation ii by 1

2d+2p= 24 .......... iii

2d+4p= 32 ........... iv

Subtract equation iv from iii

-2p = -8

P = 8/2

P= 4

There are 4 pigs

Since there are 12 animals and we've calculated that there are 4 pigs, ducks will be 12-4 =8

There are 8 ducks

Answer: 135*

Step-by-step explanation:

35* is what the bottom left side of the triangle angle equals because of congruency.

All triangles = 180*

180 - 100 - 35 = 45*

top angle of triangle = 45 *

said angle (45) +  x angle = 180

x = 135*
